I knew this game was going to be a masterpiece just from the pictures, I love the story that this game has and I love the different mechanics and and how unique the puzzles on each chapter has, my favorite chapters would definitely be 8&10. Rating this game 10/10, the puzzles are not repetitive and well balanced all throughout the chapter, and the graphics looks amazing and the designs are magnificent. This is probably one of the best games I've played so far!

- JD 80 · v3.3.4
One of thr best games ever! Graphics are out of this world!!
- Israeli Santiago · v3.3.4
In the last stage in the first area the camera is broken and completely hides the character, so it just throws me into the water and there's nothing I can do.
- Pablo Román · v3.3.4
I think its an ok game but it needs two buttons for jumping and using your light. It feels dumb swiping up on the right side of the screen to jump. As far as the game goes its kinda boring and the idea of playing in the dark doesnt excite me. I played a few levels but I think its just not that good for $5. I tried it with the play pass so at least I didnt lose $5.
- Ronald Andersen · v3.3.3
That was great fun. Hard enough to frustrate yet with save points and short levels. Everything is fun. Not a single bad level even though controls feel a tad stuck. Highly recommended.
- Jurij Fedorov · v3.3.4
I've only played a little bit and haven't finished the second level yet, but the game is very nice and the controls are super easy! Great atmosphere so far
- Haider Majid · v3.3.4
Uninstalled as the game refuses to stay open, played until the 3 adventure on story 1 exited. Upon opening, it shows the candle and then closes.
- Rashida Bradshaw
Such a good little platformer/puzzle game. You combined cute, creepy, whimsical and magical all together and the message behind the story is so wholesome and deep. I love the switching between the outter traveling to the inner battles of the heart and mind. If yall can ,please make more stuff like this, its so hard to come by good games with good messages without crud.
- Araidea · v3.3.4
This game has excellent ambiance. The puzzles are challenging but not impossible. I really like the concept of the candle. I haven’t finished the game yet but I like what I've seen so far. Great Job Creators!
- Melody Bryant · v3.3.4
Can't get past the start menu screen.
- Mickey D (Mickeythered) · v3.3.4
I got this with Play Pass and it's so nice, the story was meaningful, I loved the places this little candle had to go through, and the puzzles were easy :)
- Sha Hua
cute game
- Christin Franklin · v3.3.4
A truly surprising hidden gem! You play as a little candle with only 10 seconds of light, forcing you to use it strategically and rely on your memory to navigate the dark. It’s a beautiful, metaphorical story about ambition with clever puzzles. Finding hidden candles even unlocks beautiful poetry. I also highly commend the Arabic localization—the translation team did an outstanding job perfectly maintaining the poetic rhymes! A must-play for puzzle fans.
- Ahmed Al-Mahdi · v3.3.4
All levels good up until Chapter 8 level 5. its really disappointing when I get to the last candle out of 6 that trying to run in circles from ghosts that I dont have clear 360 degree view of all angles. this on the last moving platform that transfers to finishing blue light. please fix this as I have tried what feels like hundreds of times and keep facing disappointment bc I can't tell how far I am from ghosts when candleman is blocked from viewer since there is no optional top down view.
- V K · v3.3.4
A solid game for lower power devices but personally I wouldn't want to play it. It's more I might as we'll play it. 3.5/5
- Isaac Beckett · v3.3.4
loved the graphics

I like to listen to a book while playing games. no mute option in this game and it stops my book. just glad I didn't pay for it. Would give zero if possible
- Joshua Anderson · v3.3.4
The melting mechanic doesn't really add challenge so much as just disappointment I can't explore the game.
- Glen Blackwell
Great AAA console quality platformer!!
- Carl Brian Neely (Brian) · v3.3.4
It's a beautiful game, but controls are frustrating. When holding the screen with my left thumb and swiping up, I expect my character to keep running forward. However, I keep having to release, lower my thumb, press, and swipe up again. Otherwise, the character remains in place. This happens most when walking into obstacles. This makes the gameplay clumsy, however amazing the environments are. Of course, one could argue it's by design. A walking dying candle would likely be rather clumsy.
- Timmy · v3.3.4
Beautiful visuals. Game is engaging without being frustrating or too easy. The concept reminds me on Unravel but it also does enough to be its own concept. I'm so grateful to be in a time where I can play this on my phone. It is gaming console quality. 10/10
- Jill · v3.3.4
Best game on android graphics, control, mechanism, level and story are top notch so I really like this so I gave 5 star
- Aflu Zzz
it's a candle light experience.
- kalvin lewis · v3.3.4
A masterpiece of a game! ❤️ Beautiful story, artstyle, and graphics ❤️❤️ plus an enjoyable mixture of adventure and puzzles with well made gameplay mechanics. + I'm deeply thankful for the Arabic translation for both the logo and the whole game, it shows the effort and care put into this game ❤️❤️❤️❤️ + it made the playing experience amazing as I enjoyed the beautifully rhyming titles of each level and the elegant way the translator chose his words ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ شكراً لكم 🪻✨

paid for this game and it is glitched everything is see through. I tried to re-download it 5 times and the game is still glitched everything is pitch black and see through walls and floors. what a waste of money can't even play the game been trying for a week.
- janelle Melert · v3.3.4
no option to disable sound.
- Liz Mills
I was shocked by the quality of the graphics for this game! the art is stunning. it's so gloomy and atmospheric. once you open up and get to the ship areas the creaking and the play of light and shadow really make this! I am afraid of the dark so I will be honest it was probably more spooky to me than it's supposed to be. I found it challenging to get to some of the candles you can light, but it wasn't a bad thing. I highly recommend this game to fans of platformers w/ mix of strat & puzzle

I love this game!! Thank you! 😊😊👍
- April Brower · v3.3.4
perfect but Hard
- Stevanly Sabathino Junior Pongoh · v3.3.4
I'm not sure how to make the candle move and there is no instructions on how to play this game
- Belinda “B” Goodwin · v3.3.4
This is the first genuinely relaxing game I’ve discovered on Google Play after trying countless others. Thank you for creating such a peaceful delightful and relaxing experience!

- قناة Alwaleed · v3.3.3

- Erica Fuller · v3.3.3
ehh, controls are kinda wonky. run and jump isn't my thing. beautiful graphics. great story.
- Michael Stroud
bad app
- SAM Yea
The game looks cool but it's really hard to control. I have fallen more times then I can count mostly because it's so dark I can't see where I'm going. I have gotten so frustrated playing this game that I just exit and try again another time. Edit: I still can't jump diagonally and it's still way to dark for me to see where I'm going, it's not the fault of the game I'm sure it's fun but I just can't play it, to bad.

Would've been great if there's a 60 fps
- Aaron Paul Hugowafu · v3.3.2
Game freezes during the cutscene at the end of 11-3 and won't let me move on. I'm super disappointed because I love the art style and was enjoying the game until this.
- Crystal Barton · v3.3.1
Such a beautiful game. I absolutely adore the design and it is such a cute story behind it. Fun to play and get lost in.
- Queen Flores · v3.3.1
Full of bugs! Cannot get past the first screen itself. Start game and then next page doesn't appear inspite of scrolling through it! Could be a good game but just don't know as it refuses to go beyond start game.. Very very buggy, a half baked game by developers!
- Huzefa · v3.3.1
Fun game. Very challenging
- Cathy Prickett
Divertido e criativo no qual vcê é uma vela se aventurando por um mundo escuro sem poder ficar acesa por muito tempo para não apagar para sempre.
