Candle Rush

Video game · A puzzle game to make you think

Built with: Unity, C#

Project Description

Candle Rush is a unique puzzle game born from a game jam. The game's core mechanic revolves around a candle character that extinguishes as it moves forward but restores its light by walking backward. Players must carefully plan their route and solve intricate puzzles to reach the goal before their character's flame goes out. This innovative design challenges players to think creatively about movement and resource management.
