Game Description
Wick is a platformer where you, a candle, must keep its wick lit whilst traversing a lonely cave. If you fail, the void will consume you...
How does your game tie into the theme?
The player is surrounded by void (darkness) and has to escape each level before it consumes them whilst collecting lanterns to keep the void at bay.

This is a really fun platforming, definitely a good effort for a first game. The movement is pretty solid and the gimmick of sliding over over mud is creative. The gravity seemed a bit high but that was my only issue. Everything else was great and went together well. The art, the music, the sound effects, all great.
Glad to hear that you liked it! Perhaps we can tweak the gravity next time to make sure it's just right. Thanks for the feedback!
I liked this. A short and sweet platformer with a neat gimmick. Solid as a first game jam entry.
Glad to hear you think this is solid. For our first time that is super cool to hear. Thank you!
wow what a cute candle <3
I found it really a shame that the game ended so quickly ^^
Really super great!
I really liked the pixel art :D
Thanks for the feedback! I 100% agree that the game ends quickly and I would've totally added more levels if we had more time.
I'll pass your regards onto the rest of the team! Thank you!
The jump and movement feel good but having to press a direction while sliding, killed me sometimes at the end of the liquid pools, maybe making so you slide out of them directly could help. Overall a nice game !
Thanks for the feedback. Now that you say it I can totally see what you mean. Perhaps next time we can make that mechanic a bit more forgiving.
Thanks for the kind words!
A novel idea and very cool looking pixel art.
Thank you! Will pass your regards onto the team :)
I loved your pixel art, main character was super cute!
Thank you! Will tell the team :)
