## What is CandleCavernTrail?

Candle Cavern Trail is an offline cave-grid puzzle about carrying a small flame through dark underground floors. Each floor starts with 20 seconds of candle light, a 3-cell visibility radius, wall rocks that block movement, ore crystals to collect, and a blue crystal exit waiting at the far corner.

Tap the directional controls to move one cell at a time. The cave only reveals what the candle can illuminate, so each step is a small route decision: follow the known path, detour for ore, or grab an ember to add 5 seconds before the light fades. If the timer reaches zero, the cave goes dark and the floor must be retried.

Features:
- 50 local cave floors with progressive unlocking.
- Grid layouts that grow from early 8x8 routes toward larger 12x12 cave boards.
- Candle light timer: start with 20 seconds and extend it by collecting embers.
- Limited 3-cell visibility that keeps distant walls, ore, and exits hidden in shadow.
- Blue crystal exit objective on every floor, with ore and ember pickups along the route.
- Wall rock generation that becomes denser and more winding on later floors.
- Clear result flow with Next Floor, Restart/Retry, and Menu actions.
- Offline play with local progress only: no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking, or in-app purchases.

Candle Cavern Trail is designed for short puzzle sessions where every move matters: keep the flame alive, read the cave by candlelight, and reach the exit before the last seconds disappear.
