Drip & Wick

You are a candle, and every jump melts you a little shorter

About this game

Drip & Wick stars a small candle trying to reach the top of a dark tower. Your height is your timer: the longer you take, the shorter you get, and a short candle cannot reach high ledges. Light other candles to save checkpoints, but each one costs a bit of your wax. The best routes involve some clever sacrifices.

The tower is black with pools of warm yellow light from every flame you leave behind. It grew out of a weekend game jam and now has 40 levels over about 2 hours. It is free on itch. Great for anyone who likes small, clever ideas fully explored. The caveat: it is short, and the last few levels feel like they were made in a rush.
