Candlewright: Candle Making

Candlewright is a candle making game: steer one batch of candles down a working candle factory, light them and sell them, and climb from intern to tycoon. Pools of molten wax lie on the belt, the candles follow your line, and whatever you drove them through is what comes out the far end. One thumb, one conveyor, and a batch that gets better or worse with every choice you make. A CLEAN LINE IS THE SKILL Your candles trail behind you along the exact path you steer. Line up a pool early and the whole batch goes through it: that is a PERFECT, and PERFECTs in a row build a streak that makes the whole batch shine. Swing late and the tail misses. Every dip coats the whole candle, so a batch that went through every pool comes out fat and rich. PICK YOUR COLOR Where two pools lie side by side you choose one. The last pool you cross decides the color of the whole batch, and the dearer color is behind a hazard you have to steer past. THE MACHINES DO THE REST Glitter pours from a bottle over one side of the belt. A wall stands the whole batch upright, a press stamps every candle into shape, and the gift station ties a bow on each one. At the finish the batch stands on a lacquered plinth, every wick is lit, and the ruler climbs from INTERN to TYCOON. BUY MORE CANDLES Between runs, spend what you earned on more candles in the batch and on a guard for the line. Each extra candle costs more than the last, and the next one opens a couple of levels on. EVERY LEVEL ASKS SOMETHING Each level comes with an order ticket: so many candles in one color, some with glitter, and a bonus if you deliver. Later levels can lose the whole batch to a crystal hazard, and then the run ends where it stands. SIX FACTORIES, AND NO END Every few levels the line moves to a new hall, from a daylit workshop to the night shift to a harbor, each with its own twist on the belt and its own music. The street past the finish sells shops, then shop levels, then whole new towns, and it never runs out. Your shops keep selling while you are away, and there is a small gift waiting each day. Keep what you make: new candle shapes that unlock as you play, a recipe book of every candle you have ever finished, and twelve trophies for the moments that take some doing. Free to play. An ad can show between levels, and one purchase, Remove ads, takes those away for good. Want more from a run? Watch an ad to spin the payout fan and multiply it, only if you choose to.
