I love a good point and click game, and this game scratch the itch for me. Thank you!
The hand drawn art works well, and the mechanic of colour is also quite smart. I also appreciate the effort you went into putting in those collectables. Sadly can't find them all. :(
The only critique I can think of is then given each candle only burn for 90 seconds, it was barely enough if not spawning new ones after reset is intentional. Probably need to increase the duration, or respawning them after each reset.
But anyway, this is a job well done and I can't wait to play the completed version of the game!
