Rob Pitt writes: At long last, Spotlightor Interactive‘s hidden gem, Candleman, has finally surfaced on Nintendo’s hybrid system with help from publisher indienova.
I actually reviewed the game last year when it launched on the PlayStation 4 but I couldn’t turn down the chance to take another look at, I believe, one of the best indie 3D puzzle platformers this generation – which a lot of people don’t even know about.
Candleman is a wonderful example of everything just working in conjunction with each other. The story, the setting, the gameplay, they’re all implemented in a way that compliments the other. This idea for a pretty minor gimmick of being a candle that can produce ten seconds of light throughout an entire level before dying blossoms into this grand display of unique and varying ideas, beautiful sceneries, and a strangely touching story.
Despite only being able to burn for 10 seconds, a little candle journeys into the darkness, with the purpose of seeking the light.
I really enjoyed this game when I played it on PC a while back. I don't think i got the attention it deserved.
