Over wall it was ok. After the awhile I stopped playing. I think there was a serious lack of challenge.

Great character design, love the music! Someone contact Keanu Reeves for the live action movie version, I need him in a candle costume XD
Awesome job!
Great SFX and music, I particularly like the sound of the bullets hitting the wall. The game is really fluid and fun, I'm glad you added the story and the cute hamster at the end :P
game felt really smooth, like the main character design, very addiciting
good job man!
James wick is so hot. I think you've done a lot with some very simple mechanics. Just when I thought it was getting easy you throw the black and red checker room at me. Excellent. Really enjoyed the music and the animations.
Great play on words! You also made the game pace really match with the theme of the game as well. This is definitely a game I could play a few times. Good job!
Hamster saved!
I really like the aesthetics, especially the 'glow' effect around the player. (Which, of course he'd have one, being a lit candle at all.) And also his swagger as he moves around, plus the sunglasses!
I found that the game slowed down a lot if I rushed past a spawn point or two and a lot of enemies spawned at once.
I really appreciate a full health restore between floors, I finished most of them on one health (or flame?) out of three. I only died once, when I got too confident and ignored a really convenient choke point.
For a sequel, I wouldn't mind James investing in an automatic to save my finger a bit of clicking. :D
HE'S A CANDLE (AS IN "WICK"?!?!) - GENIUS. Music and sound design - top. Loading screen looking like an elevator door opening is wicked cool and intrinsic motivation to keep playing is on all-time high (I will always remember you, my pet hamster...)
