Hello fellow godot user 🙂

This was really good. I have no idea how you coded the different collisions hahaha

The art fits quite nicely, and the puzzles are really good too. Playing a platformer without jumping is always either interesting or boring, and this game surely was the former. With some adjustments and more levels and maybe a story, this could be something I would buy!

I only have two nitpicks. One is the lack of music and certain sound effects, like when pushing a crate. The other thing is that I found pushing the crates really slow. And that's all, basically. Everything else was really good.

Excellent game. Truly excellent. I mean, I do love a box pushing puzzle game (see my entry), but that a said, well put together game. Great theme. Great look. Great feel. I loved the Edgar Allen Poe like character. Very fitting of the style. I like how the candle was a world jumping mechanic, as well as a timer. 

The only thing, the last level was a little tedious. I knew exactly what to do, it just took so long to move the boxes. But, that's a nitpick. The game is great. Top five for sure.

Thank you so much!

And yea, the criticism of the last level is totally valid. We felt the same way but we liked it overall and decided to keep it; we could have probably removed one of the two leftmost boxes though. Thank you for the feedback

We both had the same name idea ;)

Really awesome game, I love the simple puzzle concept and the way you incorporated the lighting/blowing out the candle into the gameplay and the theme. The artwork is really nice also. Good job!

I did notice that another game had the same title, I guess great minds think alike ;P
And thank you!
