Candle Quest
You do not know why you are awake or why you are free. Your friends are all still enslaved inside objects by an evil wizard, forced to do chores so that he can “work on more important things”. Perhaps that’s why you are free; you must free all your friends. You must . . .Defeat the wizard . . .
. . . and leave this haunted castle behind.
Maybe lighting candles will help?

Yes! I defeated the wizard!
very lovely pixelart !! the controls get a bit confusing and maybe some direction of where to go but other than that, it was very fun to play :3

I must have found the secret boss. The difficulty shot through the roof. Otherwise, it was a great play. I don't think I found everything in it, but I really enjoyed your game.
is i the roof guy?
then it probably is jsut the normal final boss :-)
okay I know what you mean by now.
Couldnt beat that guy legitimately, had to cheeze it a bit :-)
great game - my only problem with it was i wish spacebar was jump as it gets confusing as it is , its too easy to press the wrong key by accident
