cartelpromoIndie developer Teku Studios has added the Wii U to the list of stretch goals over at their Kickstarter for Candle.  Candle is a platformer created using traditional artwork and then scanned in to create the game environment and sprites in the game.  In Candle players take control of Teku, a shaman pupil who has a candle instead of a hand.

The shaman pupil Teku begins his journey after his village is attacked by the rival tribe of the Atipax. During his adventures to rescue the survivors he will unveil the long forgotten truth about his past.

The most important feature of the gameplay comes from a very specific ability of Teku, the main character: instead of a hand, he carries a candle that can be lit at certain spots, and he must do whatever he can to prevent it from being extinguished. The flame of the candle is key to solving many of the puzzles, as well as uncovering lots of secrets and clues.

Teku Studios has set the funding goal for their Kickstarter $40,000.  The Wii U stretch goal is $80,000 and as of this writing the Kickstarter has raised $9,864 or 24% of the goal with 21 days until the end of the Kickstarter.  Check out the video below and Teku Studios’ Kickstarter for more details about Candle.
