Nice game.
Простий короткий 3D платформер. Нічого особливого в плані механік. Технічний стан сируватий. Разок пробігти можна. 6 хлопців з свічкою на голові з 10

Decent platformer. Its got a lot of style, good platforming, collectibles, and power upgrades. However, the controls feel loose at times, the combat is horrible, and the deaths often seem unfair (although there are frequent checkpoints). The pros slightly outweigh the cons, so a thumbs up from me. On a 1-10 scale this would be about a 5.5.
Me parece que está bien, pero se bueguea mucho, sobretodo la animación de disparar fuego se queda bugueada.
Игра "The Adventures of Candle Boy" – это очаровательный и трогательный платформер. Управляя мальчиком-свечой, мы сталкиваемся с множеством головоломок, требующих креативного использования его уникальной способности - освещать путь и растапливать лёд. Визуальный стиль игры выполнен в приятной мультяшной стилистике, а музыкальное сопровождение создает атмосферу сказки и приключения. Геймплей сбалансирован между платформингом, требующим точности, и решением логических задачек. Порой приходится рисковать, теряя воск и сокращая жизнь Candle Boy, что добавляет элемент напряжения. Сюжет, хоть и простой, но наполнен теплотой и поднимает важные темы. Несмотря на некоторую сложность отдельных уровней, игра проходится с удовольствием. Единственный минус – небольшая продолжительность, хотелось бы больше приключений в этом волшебном мире. В целом, "The Adventures of Candle Boy" – отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет милую, увлекательную и немного грустную игру на несколько вечеров.
I like it. It looks good, it plays good, and I really like the enemy design. If you're looking for that nostalgic platformer feeling then you've found it right here, and for the low low price of free I cannot recommend it enough.
The game is very fun, movement feels smooth, the platforming is decent and there is funny moments throughout. i highly reccomend it as a rainy day game.
++++
É um jogo de plataformas bem interessante, tem uma história simples mas que funciona, os gráficos estão bonitinhos, é uma gameplay básica mas com um mapa um pouco grande para deixar você perdido e as vezes confuso com onde ir. Tem elementos diferentes para atacar, fases, boss, resgates, plataformas e muito fogo. Com uma boa equipe e mais orçamento, dá pra virar um grande jogo. Tem alguns bugs mas nada demais. É bem curto e entretém no tédio, vale a pena testar.
