I love the way you handle the light in this game. The music is smooth so it's kinda relaxing intead of spooky. The last door took me a few minutes to understand, but it was fun to discover this.
Thanks for playing! We’re glad you had fun.
This game was very nice! I couldn't find the 5th skele I was supposed to burn. :/
Thank you! Sorry you couldn’t find it. If you’re in the chamber with the four skeletons, walk towards the top right. :)
Wow, I loved this! Incredibly polished puzzle game, especially for a jam. The vibe is amazing. I love how you can burn half of the objects and watch unique animations, the interactivity! The core idea is so cool, too. Wandering around in the darkness and using your abilities to light your way a little bit.
Have you considered making a walkthrough? 👉👈 I figured I have only 2 flames, so I placed one of them in between of each pair of the columns, and I got four points. How can I get the fifth? I wanna see what's next!
Oh hey and I collected all of the skulls! 😎
Hi, we're so glad you liked it so much! Thank you for all the kind words, and most of all thank you for playing our game!
As for that puzzle, potentially consider that you must light up 5 columns at once, but they don't all have to stay lit... :)
The soundtrack is really good, it creats something like an other world where time is not !
Great gameplay ! well done !
