Candle Man by Spotlightor Gao

[raw]
made by Spotlightor Gao for LD27 (COMPO)
A candle is trapped in a dark dungeon. He must burn himself to illuminate the nearby environment and find the way out. But the candle light can only last 10 seconds, use it wisely!

=====================

*** GAME CONTROL ***
- ASDW / Arrow keys to move
- Space to jump
- Hold left mouse button to burn the candle

================
All models and textures are made in 48 hours with Blender and Photoshop. Music and GUI sound effects created on inudge.net and recorded by Audacity. Fire & ghost sound effects are from OpenGameArt.

Really good and fun. I even made it to the end! Music was good, but a little too loopy. I scared myself on the first level with the saws :D

What can I say, this is nearly perfect. The graphics are very aesthetically pleasing. The game managed to keep me playing despite its boring and slow nature. The only thing I could say is that the camera was a little annoying when walking back with S since it turns automatically.

Loved the game, fun concept and tight gameplay. Only thing I could see that might need to be changed is that I was able to flicker the light by rapidly clicking the mouse and it didn't use hardly any time. Maybe have a min time the light stays on to keep people like me from flickering my way to victory

Nice work, a decent challenge, I like that if you burn up your time, you still have a chance if you can make it in the dark D
Good job on the graphics!

I enjoyed the platforming in this, and the light mechanic was used very effectively!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game.
Levels are nice. As you wrote in your P.M. it's a pity you couldn't design more of them.

Very nice entry, very polished, but a bit easy if you just keep "flashing" your light on and off...
Still, I think for the compo it's against the rules to use sound effects from OpenGameArt and similar sites, you are supposed to do them yourself... but that's the only bad thing i have to say about this. ;)

@Martin_Monosys Thanks for your comment, I'll remove the sound effects from the compo version ;)

Hmmm, yeah it's a shame really, but those are the rules. As I try to keep them, I always point it out when I think something is wrong... This was a minor offense, tough... And no need to thank me for getting you into trouble... XD!

Great entry ! Really like the use of the theme on this one.
Controls and graphics are also very well thought.
Here is a run where I finish the game :
