Dec. 2024

It's a nice puzzle, original enough, and colorful. But I can't help feeling it would benefit a lot from being a point-and-click as opposed to having to actually walk and jump with your character. Teku's moves are clanky and inert, and everything takes him forever to do, everything is unskippable, there is barely any fast travel. Taking into consideration that you'll make mistakes - it's by design, and have to start again a lot, it drove me crazy quickly. But anyway it's nice

I was looking for games for my 4yo son to play and I found this one on a list of games for toddlers somewhere on the Internet and I must say this game is NOT for toddlers. Sure the art is nice and all for kids but the puzzles and game progression process actually requires the player to think what the developer might have done instead of just looking for clues. This game is HARD and so nicely done!

This is a very good game. But I need to make one important comment about it and that is that this game is at many times hard to beat. I found it not to be possible to finish the game without consulting a walkthrough, and I really tried. There are several hidden passages in the game that are hard to find. One of them is absurdly hard to detect. And at many times I found myself unable to figure out what actions I needed to perform to proceed. If you look at the discussions in the Steam Forums then you will find lots of people who post about being stuck and asking for advice/hints. In my opinion, this game needs more hints. Other than that, this game was great fun to play. The puzzles are clever. The art is gorgeously beautiful. The story is ok and the sound and music is nice. The overall gameplay is very good. The game is just as good as games like Machinarium and Samorost 3. If you like those games, you will like Candle. The main difference to those games is that Candle contains some platforming.

I love this puzzle game. It makes me think. It makes me react fast. It gives me desperation to look up the walkthrough. A very unique game. Good story. Nice illustrations.

March 2024

Candle is a platformer puzzle game of beautiful art, a good story, and pleasant music that loops pleasantly in the background without being obnoxious. The puzzles and minigames were a decent challenge at times, with only a few moments where I had to look up the solution, and couldn’t see how others could have figured it out, but that’s more of a me thing than anything. My only complaint is that the controls could sometimes be a little clunky, and the jumping being difficult to time correctly because of it. I also personally didn’t like that extinguishing the candle or doing a burst of light was on the same button, with the difference being a tap or a hold, as at times Teku would do one instead of the other, leading to inconvenience in a puzzle, or being killed by an enemy. But overall, I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good platformer-puzzle game, or, like me, just really enjoys beautiful visuals.
