The Candle Mechanic

In Pacrati games, "Candles" represent the burning resources of a player's morale. Every decision consumes wax; every victory extends the flame. We've gamified the emotional burn rate of development.

Manage your burn rate. Strategy is survival. Use the Energy Builder below to visualize how core game elements contribute to your sustainability in the void.

Mastery achieved. The curve spikes vertically as energy compounds.

Cosmic Energy,
Local Roots.

Born in Bristol. Powered by the void. We build mobile experiences that merge urban grit with the infinite possibilities of space.

Pacrati is not just a studio; it is a node in the galactic grid. We believe that high-fidelity strategy should be accessible, burning bright like a candle in the dark.

Pacrati Field Guide

Understanding Energy Throttling

Energy Throttling is the core rhythm of our games. Unlike standard cooldown mechanics, throttling is reactive to player sentiment.

CRITERIA Burn Rate Efficiency

How much 'wax' is consumed per action. Lower is better for long-term survival.

CRITERIA Void Saturation

The ambient pressure. High saturation requires stronger strategic anchors.

CRITERIA Resonance

Player feedback loop. Positive resonance extends candle duration by 15%.

Myths vs. Reality

MYTH: "More sliders equals better gameplay."
REALITY: Complexity must be balanced against burn rate. Two sliders used effectively outperform five used poorly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We analyzed 10,000 play sessions. Here is what fails most often:

1. Panic Spending Spending all Wax at once leads to immediate burnout.
2. Ignoring Flux Failing to adjust Mechanics during peaks increases failure rate by 40%.
3. Static Strategy The Void changes. Your inputs must adapt.
