Candle Route has qualities of a production made by an in-house team at Nintendo, with touches that bear resemblances to
Paper Mario,
Pikmin, and
Yoshi's Island."

Guide Sparky through the labyrinths
Tap the open space with a stylus to place a flag and you will see the route Sparky will take. Press the ‘GO’ button and the flame will start walking. Remember, you can only tap spaces not already occupied by matches or other pictured items.
Choose a route wisely
The flame will attempt to choose the route with the fewest changes in direction. When Sparky takes a narrow route leading to a dead end, he will be forced to turn around.
Collect matches
When Sparky passes by a match, it will become the flame’s buddy and will follow it around the labyrinth.
Light up all candles and clear the stage
To light up a candle, Sparky has to bring along at least the same number of matches as indicated on a candle’s tag. Once the candle is alight, the matches will be burnt.
