About this game

The heart of the world tree is going dark. You are Lumi, the last lightseed warden – and the only way is down.

CANDLERIFT is a vertical-descent action roguelite: you fall through glowing strata, and the faster you get, the more you shatter. One tap opens your parachute and slows you down – but it drains your Flow. Staying in the dive is rewarded. Going supersonic breaks everything… and risks everything.

★ ONE HAND, FOUR MOVES
Drag to steer. Tap once for the parachute. Swipe to dash and dive slam. No aiming, no shooting – just you, the deep, and your nerve.

★ A GUIDED START
A dedicated practice level teaches every move in seven steps before your first real descent begins.

★ FLOW, NOT COMBOS
Stay fast, graze past danger, and listen as the music swells with your Flow – layer by layer, all the way to the Light Trail.

★ BUILD YOUR FALL
30 modules across three schools, glyphs whose effects depend on their socket, and artifacts with real trade-offs. Every run plays differently.

★ WARDENS IN FREEFALL
Boss fights where both of you are falling – dodge fan volleys, flank shields, and strike at the right moment.

★ IN 20 LANGUAGES
Fully translated – from German to Japanese, from Portuguese to Thai.

★ PLAYED FAIR
No in-app purchases. No advertising ID, usage statistics only with your consent. No account. Everything is earned – nothing is bought. Between descents we occasionally show one of our own games. Everything plays without an internet connection too.

How deep can you go before your light fades?
Dive through the world tree. Speed is your weapon. No in-app purchases.
