Very cool concept, i think i will come back to this in a few days since i feel like there are some sweet combos to find and learn and i want to see how far i can take this! Well done!

I like the sounds they make when you do a combo. I enjoyed this one, well done!
A very cool idea and a very pleasant execution! Congratulations :)
Сложно, так и не осилил. Но играть было прятно
I really like this game. It feels really polished. Very fun to play through!
Ладно, я устал на английском писать, так что на ру Вообще прикольно, я правда забрутфорсил игру, но все равно у меня получилось сделать прикольные комбы. Хорошо что новые свечи сразу встают на места и дают тебе отыгрывать по новому раунд

Very satisfying once you find out how do build combos
Nice interpretation of the theme.
Really great and unique idea for a puzzle game. Had some issues with the candle descriptions; some of them disappeared on their own, some of them seemed to wait for an input. Great art and was super fun to play otherwise!
Looks nice and fresh! But I struggled to understand how to play
Very fun and original concept! Very satisfying to set up a combo and see it go off! Graphics and audio are perfectly suited for the purpose. Well done getting this finished in 48 hours, the scoring system seems like it must've been complicated to make!
It looks interesting, but I didn’t understand anything. Still, I won =D Or is it impossible to lose here? :)
@melomaner yes, it is possible :) It is very funny that the game can be completed with absolutely random build
The idea is really cool and original, but I felt it was missing some QoL features to fully understand what was going on — though that’s totally understandable within a jam. The core concept is clear, but while playing I often found myself going “wait, what?” I couldn’t quite figure out why the ignition order sometimes changed and started going in reverse (I even replayed it from the start to see if I’d missed something, but still didn’t get it). The art is awesome, and overall everything else is great — I enjoyed it!

I did it! 2025-10-08_19-28-38.png
It wasn't that easy. It's not entirely clear what's going on; there are too many possible combinations. Perhaps some kind of log would help me monitor the process and make decisions more predictably and strategically.
The mechanics are interesting; I liked it.
Круто классно, мне понравилось, хотя под конец я не всегда понимал, что происходит. Отдельно хотелось бы отметить саунд, он очень приятный. Ну и XK режим зачёт :krutoblin: Снимок экрана (941).png

what a lit game ;) Interesting and unique approach, well done!
The personalities of the candles are fun to look at and fit the gameplay. The explanations of the non-red candles are great too. I think I am too used to drafting games where some options are clearly better than others, and for this game I would need to develop a deep understanding to go far into the game. The background and calculation animations are well done too, and I like the curtains to make game overs a little more dramatic while still making it easy to jump back into a new game.
@nbumgardner I have added actions log into postjam version so if you wanna try go further in understanding it can help you
Also there is some new content now
Neat game! Loved the candles' faces, the sounds, the logic you have to employ to get some points. I got unlucky with 14/15 points, however I will be trying some more in the future! Thanks for making the game! :)
