Fun game! I enjoyed the backgrounds. The character design is nice too, reminds me of older style graphics from like the 2600 or NES. The adventure style exploration gameplay was fun too, I really enjoy that sort of exploration gameplay. I would prefer if you warped the player back to the start every time you collect a candle but that's just my opinion.
I did encounter an issue where the audio cut out after I got the first candle.
Other then that, fun game!
