How it feels

An action-casual platformer where you explore a candle world, meet characters, and fight enemies to clear a threatening fog.

What players say

Players enjoy the timed-exploration mechanic and visual style but consistently note it is just a short demo or first area, not a complete game. The music, especially the boss song, is praised, and controls feel responsive. Some find the time limit annoying, but respawn points are forgiving. A few reviewers compare it to Minit, calling it a more open take.
