Yea, I really don't think that this game was made to support a thousand candles...
Anyways, that aside, the music is great, the enemies pretty, the light from the projectiles unnecessary (in my opinion), but they do add to the atmosphere, and the candles don't need a hitbox, if you ask me. I got stuck in my forest of candles around the crystal trying to get out multiple times.
The atmosphere that this game has is great! From the mystical crystal, to the fire-spitting candles, to the enemies! Great game overall!
