Waxy: The Wick and The Witch

About

Waxy: The Wick and The Witch is a puzzle platformer where you control a sentient candle navigating a witch’s cluttered attic. You use fire to solve environmental puzzles but must carefully monitor your wax levels to avoid melting. The game blends 3D exploration with timed challenges often requiring you to balance burning through barriers and conserving fuel for longer stretches. The clever mechanic of managing a literal light source as both tool and vulnerability stands out. Reviews note the inventive puzzles that force you to think creatively about illumination and heat. While the witch’s attic setting feels cozy, the constant risk of overheating adds tension. A small but dedicated community highlights the game’s clever use of candle-specific abilities like igniting objects or melting obstacles.
