I have been following this game for a long time and it has come on a lot since it was first started so this was an instant buy for me. However after playing a few levels I found myself getting a little bored as there wasn't enough variantion in the game for me so i found myself playing a level at a time and then coming back to it later to complete the game. It's sound and visuals are nice enough but even they get a little bit tired after 6 levels I know it's supposed to be a dark game but there could of been more ineresting things that could of been done with each passing level. That said this is an indie game and I try to support indie devs whenever I can so give it a go and you might just like it.
Launched on [url=https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0518-CUSA01747_00-PIXELCANDLELIGHT] PS4 [/url] as well as Steam this solo effort, by Rod Moye/ Pixel Maverick Games was 3 years in the making. The result is a solid casual 2D platformer that’s charm kept me playing all 15 levels, collecting every idol and some speed runs. An evil being extinguishes all the candles in the land. It’s the job of our lone candle to bring light back to the land. Despite this not offering anything new there is some reasons that elevated this from meh to recommend: The artwork in this game is very appealing. It has a cute aesthetics even with the enemies. The use of colour is applied well with good shading and light. It is more muted tones than bright colours but it suits the storyline. Its charming, cute and fun to play. I was unsure of my intentions when I started this but I ended getting sucked in and enjoying my time with it. There is a nice balance in levels and difficulty prog...
beautiful game. It shows passion and hard work from the dev. 10/10 would recommend.
Unique story and twist to mechanics on a throwback platformer. Clean and simple graphics with nice lighting also make the game far more enjoyable to play than terrible "retro" 8-bit games.
Played this game through and through a few times with my son. REALLY cool lighting effects and intuitive gameplay. Love the dark and gloomy atmosphere, but charged by hope of lighting the world. Fun game. Recommended for all you other PC gamers!
Having Candlelight on the PS4 and loving it, the first game I got when I joined Steam was Candlelight. This game is very entertaining. If I had to describe it to something I've played before I would have to say a modern day Pitfall with a candle. The graphics are well put together. Some graphics are blocky like minecraft while other graphics are wispery like the clouds. The lighting is fantastic blend to the game. I can see great effort was put into the graphics unlike most dev games you see. The play is fun, I had a great time playing the game. I then turned it up a notch and played through going as fast as I could with out dying in the level/(next land). By doing this this made the game totally different an easy level became not so easy. I also could then understand how the developer created the level and how the level flowed which gave me even more respect for the game. The game has many lands and themes to the land. I really enjoyed the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme and Alice and W...
very nice platformer with great sound and graphics.
