Candelabra — free browser game
Carry a candelabra of lit candles across a crowded hall — your acceleration tilts it, hard tilts blow out flames, and wax burns down on its own. Steady hands serve more tables.

How to play
Tips and detailed strategy
Candelabra is a small balance game: you play a waiter at an Ottoman banquet hall, carrying a tall silver candelabra topped with lit candles, trying to serve table after table without snuffing them out. The walker is shown as a silhouette at the bottom; the candelabra stands straight above. Left/right arrows (or A/D) walk you across the floor; your acceleration and sudden velocity changes tilt the candelabra sideways. A vertical 'Tilt' gauge on the right tracks the angle: white is safe, yellow→orange means wax drips, red snuffs a flame outright. Each candle also burns down over time — the thin bar under every flame is the wax left; when it hits zero that candle dies. The floor has a row of tables and one glows gold: that's the order to serve. Park yourself in front of it for 1.5 s or press Space to serve; each still-lit candle earns +1, the order rotates to a new table, and your remaining candles get a partial wax refill (proportional to how many are still lit). When every candle is out the run ends; your record is the highest serve count and is stored in your browser. Tip: stopping abruptly is as dangerous as starting — let your acceleration decay before reversing, otherwise the tilt doubles. Pause briefly between direction changes, and for long crossings glide at constant speed instead of pumping the keys. Even one surviving candle keeps the others warm — don't panic-restart when you drop to two.
