About This Game Candle is an adventure with challenging puzzles. Play as Teku, a young novice on a dangerous journey to rescue his tribe's shaman from the evil tribe of the Wakcha. But the way is littered with sinister traps and difficult obstacles. To master these challenges, you need to have keen eyes and a good sense for your environment, or your next step may be your last. But Teku has a special gift: his left hand is a candle. Let it be a bright beacon to drive off your enemies or to shed light on dark places.Gorgeous hand-painted watercolor visuals give Candle that special flair, as all backgrounds and characters have been carefully drawn and then scanned, picture after picture. The game consistently feels like a living painting.Pay attention to all details to solve challenging puzzlesAlways be on guard, the next trap lies in waitingYou hold the power of the flame in your handHand-painted watercolor drawing, a painting coming to lifeGorgeous soundtrack with South-American Flair 7aa9394dea Title: CandleGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:Teku StudiosPublisher:Daedalic EntertainmentRelease Date: 11 Nov, 2016 Candle Portable Tedious.... boring and painful. clunky controls, slow movement, yet the game requires good timinglots of backtrackingtoo much trial and error, reload far away, then slow movement only to try againsome of the puzzles felt "cheap" insofar as it was nearly impossible to tell where a certain area entrance was. <RANT>The developers have made the controls of this game intentionally idiotic to have the player die a million times, in turn making the playtime artificially long.Example: There is a sequence where Teku (that's the character you play) has to activate a statue, jump up on one hand, jump across some sticky plants, then onto another hand, then onto a ledge, onto a thingie, onto a block of stones, back onto the first hand, to climb a ladder. If you don't jump at the specific time intended you miss even being allowed to jump and fall to your death.So I'm useless at these timed events, I'm probably too old for them or something, but I've always been useless at them, just getting worse over the years. After cursing the game, the developers, and their ancestors to the 10th degree, and my husband noticing me getting really frustrated, I had him take over. He first asked for my game controller (I play with keyboard, because I'm also useless with controllers), then takes a few times cursing and dying until he manages to do it.While I was waiting I read the Trash- and Environmental Guide by my local council which had been delivered earlier today. And guess what, READING IT WAS MORE ENJOYABLE THAN THIS GAME!<\/RANT>Shame on you, Daedalic, for releasing this.
