Amazing Game! Not sure why some people rated it low and can only imagine their phones are the issue. I have a cheap phone that so many games won't work on but this one did. The controls worked great and the game is unique and fun! I usually don't leave reviews on games unless I have a strong reaction to them. This one was really good!

A great little platformer. It's a slower game that focuses more on atmosphere than reflexes. That works in it's favor on mobile. It's relaxed and easy to control. It has a great atmosphere and lighting areas as the candle is very cool and interesting. The various mechanics are all used well and the environments are varied and interesting. I'm excited to see what comes next for the game and it's an easy recommendation if you enjoy atmospheric platformers. Edit: The game doesn't have cloud saves unfortunately. I wish it did. I still really enjoyed the game, but keep in mind that if you uninstall it, you will lose your progress. I was excited to play the new content added, but I'll have to beat the entire game again.

(Important Note: Really need gamepad support + mapper) It's great to be able to buy games that can be played on 32bit devices nowadays. for graphics and control settings should be added in the home menu as well, I thought there was not before but apparently the graphics and control settings can be found when entering the level. please add Indonesian language and extra levels/stories in the next update. Lastly, I want to thank you guys for making this beautiful game. deserves to be appreciated 👏
