This is the game I made when I first started Scratch. I built it under a different account years ago, but I had it saved to my PC. I originally wanted to remake this game, but I decided I wanted to change up the character, and from there Candle Quest was born. I apologize for how bad this game is, it was mostly supposed to be my introduction to Scratch years ago. I just thought it might be cool for everyone to see my original Candle Quest inspiration. Dodge ghosts and collect gems. You have one life. To move, use the arrow keys. When you reach certain point totals, the backdrop and music will change. If you can make it to 10,000 points, you will beat the game. Your chances of winning are pretty bad though, because this is a hard game. Use D to decrease the volume, and increase it with E.
I did all the artwork and coding. Enjoy my original game. If you have played Candle Quest, you will realize how much more advanced Candle Quest is from its original idea. Candle Quest link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1034125086/
