A candle's descent into the dark
You are a tiny candle with gun boots, falling into a very dark well. Your flame is the only light down there - and it is also your life.
Stomp monsters by landing on them. Press jump in mid-air to fire your boots straight down: every shot slows your fall. Chain kills before you touch the ground for big combos, collect embers until you BLAZE, and choose an Ember of Power after every level. Six worlds deep, six guardians - how far can your little light go?
New: your keys, your language
- Every key can be rebound in OPTIONS > CONTROLS - the arrow keys always work too, and every hint names the key you actually use

Hallow Night
- A spooky side dive of its own, right on the title screen: three graveyard levels and THE PUMPKIN KING
- Hopping jacks, shy spooks that only move while you look away, grave hands and spiders on their threads
- Everything you snuff can drop candy - every sweet relights your flame a little
- Survive it to unlock JACK O'WICK, a pumpkin candle for every dive, and the HALLOW style
- In October the title dresses up and candy drops are doubled
Light is life
- Your flame slowly burns down, and every hit costs a chunk of it
- The lower it burns, the smaller your candle and the less of the well you can see
- Embers, kills and combos feed it - land a 15+ combo for a big relight
- Blaze stops the burning for a while. Don't dawdle in the dark
