About Wick Runner
Wick Runner is a fast arcade game where you guide a small burning wick along a narrow track. Collect candles to keep your flame alive, and steer around barriers. A taller flame can clear walls and hazards. Miss candles, and your wick shrinks, making each section harder to manage. Choose when to collect and when to avoid danger.
How to Play Wick Runner
Your flame moves forward automatically along a straight track. Guide it to the finish by collecting candles and avoiding hazards. Keep your flame tall enough to clear the obstacles ahead.
Collect candles to make your flame grow. Avoid barriers that shrink it, and steer through narrow passages without losing momentum. Keep your wick burning until you reach the finish.
A taller flame helps you clear high walls and difficult sections. Later stages require quicker decisions, so watch the track and react before you hit a barrier.
