About the Game

Candlelit Maze is a compact 2D puzzle-platform adventure about carrying light through a world that keeps trying to go dark. Move from torch to torch, read the shape of each room, collect keys, open doors, and use the small circle of light around you to survive the maze.

Features

Light-based exploration: stay close to burning torches and plan each move before the darkness closes in.

Puzzle-platform rooms built around timing, keys, doors, and careful navigation.

A moody pixel-art maze with warm candlelight, deep shadows, and a quiet original soundtrack.

Simple keyboard controls for quick play sessions and clean, readable challenges.

A focused single-player journey through handcrafted levels.

Every step matters. Every torch is a promise. Find the next flame and keep moving.
