Hot Wax Sets Fire to the Tetris Playbook With Slow-Burn Puzzle Mechanics and a Dollop of Eldritch Menace

PUNKCAKE Délicieux's arcade puzzler Hot Wax launches on Steam this week after a spell of Itch.io exclusivity. It plays like Tetris with candles, where you plant flames on wicks to slowly melt blocks instead of clearing lines, all inside a temple watched by a "not unfriendly" eldritch god. The full release will include score attack, endless play, a mode where you melt several arranged candles with one flame, and daily seeded challenge runs.
