  • I loved that there were tutorials to tell you how to play the game, which buttons to press, and what to attack. It's really, really nice to see that kind of help! The sound design and environment are really neat. The game is fun. The only real source of frustration was knowing whether or not the charge up attack was off cooldown. The arrow in front of the player should double as an attack indicator. Keep at it. You've got talent!

Gameplay Overview
Control an animated candle using WASD for movement. The basic attack is a melee strike, which can be charged to launch a projectile. Additionally, players can throw wax to slow enemies or shoot out their wick to entangle foes. Progressing through levels grants upgrades, boosting stats and unlocking new abilities.

Have Fun!

Great work on this game! I especially like the timer+health relationship, the slow wax ability, and the thematic fog of war.

Haven't had a chance to play yet but just wanted to say that I think this should win on the title alone. Wordplay wins me over everytime. Well done!

Overall pretty fun and interesting, I think I glitched the game when I unlocked wax bomb twice tho.
