Your idea/theme is brilliant! It reminds me of the game sandman, and I really enjoy both! Movement sometimes felt a little weird/laggy, but very well done!

I knew.
For a fact.
I was going to hate this game.
I was so wrong haha.
I really like the concept of a platformy puzzle game where you do candle stuff. Nice entry!

This is a really awesome entry. What a genuinely unique and creative gameplay mechanic, and you managed to make so many levels. This concept really has a lot of potential, great job

Overall, good job! Sometimes, the game felt a bit tedious, and the physics weren't perfect, but it had great art, and a great concept!

Really cool puzzle platformer. Really liked your core mechanic and level variation. Only critique is that some of the levels seemed to move really slowly (e.g. I was sitting and waiting while riding up blue "wax"). Nice job.
