I must say this was one of the most enjoyable entries I've played so far, well done! The gameplay, sound and graphics really come together in a nice and pleasant way. If you'd like some feedback:
- stop the camera when the map ends, that way you avoid your players see a dark void of nothingness to either side. Procedural generation would also solve this issue
- the candle element really wasn't prominent enough
- Screen shakes would juice it up a ton
- It says you're not much of an artist, but the pixel art is really solid. Your game would profit from a more modern UI, especially considering the overall tone
overall I had a blast with this one though so keep going :)
