End life plan
This game is going to stay on itch.io and I'm going to keep working on it, and improve it. I have to fix some bugs and improve the gameplay. I want it to be fun and when someone plays it I want them to feel happy.
Transparency note
eveything was done during the jam, also I used AI for the Soundtrack due to lack of time.

Cool game! I think it would be fun to have darker spaces, but I'm exited to see what this turns into! :D
Big fan of the art! Like Noob below me said Level 5 is basically impossible. I couldn't get past it. Also the Continue button doesn't seem to work?
This is your first game, right? Really fun to hear, keep at it!
i love the pixel art for the character and enemies! for some reason, my whole chrome browser crashed when trying to ran the game for the first time, now it just freezes a bit. overall, the game was fine, but there i suggest adding a text saying that you need to touch all light candles to make the door appeared (bc i had to basically guess to figure that out) and I’m pretty sure the jump in LVL 5 is impossible xd. good job nonetheless :D!
Cute concept overall! I really like the artwork. It’s already very fun in its current state, so I’m excited to see how much a few tiny fixes and a personalized soundtrack will elevate the project. Nice work!
Thank you very much! Yeah I'm already working in fixing bugs and stuff. I hope that you can play it whenever is out!
Appreciate it :D
The controls are very responsive. It never feels like the game "ate" my jump or anything. I couldn't get past level 5 but in the levels I played there were some opportunities to pick which path I want to take to visit all the candles and those levels were much more interesting.
For some reason it was very laggy for me and took a while to load in each level, but when it played it was sooo good, really well done, cool idea and great implementation!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, there's some bugs and the optimization needs to be improved, there are also some particles that didn't show up but well, it's my first project, and I plan to learn more :D
For me the lag only kicks in when I have returned to the menu a lot. I think when you're changing scenes the other scenes are all still running. That's a common mistake in godot.
oh thanks! I will be checking that, Yeah probably that's the reason. :]
Although there were some bugs here and there, and I couldn't beat level 5, I really enjoyed playing your game!
I'm glad that you really enjoyed it! I didn't had enough time so I had to uploaded with the bugs haha, but I'll keep working on the proyect and upload the new versions!
Good idea. The character is really cute. Good job!
Thank you very much! :D
There is a lot of potential to expand upon here, like burning stuff in a certain order, keep it up!
Thank you! I will have it in mind!
I like the game a lot. Good graphics, I really like the concept, the principle and how you related it through the gameplay. I wish there were more games like this. I did feel happy playing your game. I like the colours used, the little candle guy, the animations, I also like the fact that the other candles still have a glow themselves before the player shares their flame. It's a simple concept, translated to simple gameplay, and very enjoyable.
I look forward to playing it more in the future! Thank you for making this game!
Thank you! I'm glad u liked the game, I'll keep working on it and hopefully finish it.
art and Soundis very good
Thank you! :D
You rock it, babe! 🕹️💖

I LOVE UUUUUUUUUU ♡♡♡
hey nice game. you did well.
Thank you very much <3 I will check yours!
Such a cute game! There seems to be some UI bugs though, but it is what it is and can easily be bypassed. The art style and idea of the candle is so interesting!
Hi! Thank you very much. Yeah I saw that there's some bugs but I'll fix them!
I think if the default preview window to play in-browser was just a bit larger, it would work perfectly
I played it that way so it would run better for me, but the limited visibility made things a bit tricky. Still, the challenge is fun -^^-
Great job. Considering this is your first game, I think you did amazing. I really like the art.
Thank you very much!! I appreciate it
I genuinely don’t have enough words to describe how incredible this game is. It’s not just the best game I’ve ever played—it’s one of the most powerful and immersive experiences I’ve had in any medium. From the very beginning, it pulled me into a world so vivid, so emotionally rich, that I found myself completely swept away. Hours passed without me noticing. Every scene, every line of dialogue, every quiet moment of exploration felt carefully crafted and deeply intentional.
The story isn’t just good—it’s unforgettable. It doesn’t just entertain, it moves you. The characters feel like real people, not just plot devices. Their struggles, their choices, their growth—everything lands with emotional weight. There were moments I laughed out loud, moments I was on the edge of my seat, and more than once, I sat in stunned silence processing what had just happened. Few games have ever made me feel so present, so personally involved in the journey.
Gameplay-wise, it’s an absolute triumph. The combat is elegant and responsive, with an incredible sense of flow that adapts to your style. The world is packed with secrets and details that reward exploration—not just with loot, but with storytelling, atmosphere, and worldbuilding that’s on a whole other level. Even when I wasn’t advancing the main story, I was never bored. I wanted to see every corner, talk to every character, chase every lead.
And the music. My god. The soundtrack alone deserves its own review. It's haunting, beautiful, and perfectly tuned to every emotional beat. I caught myself pausing just to listen. Combined with the stunning visuals and immersive sound design, the entire presentation creates a sense of place so strong it borders on the surreal.
But what truly elevates this game is its heart. It has something rare—a sense of soul. It’s more than a fun or impressive experience. It’s thoughtful. Reflective. At times, even profound. It raises questions that stuck with me long after I quit the game. It challenged me—not just as a player, but as a person.
If I could wipe my memory and experience it all again for the first time, I would do it in a heartbeat. No hesitation.
10/10. A masterpiece. Not just a game I played—a world I lived in
