Heat-risk racer
Original
Side-scrolling ship through the candle corridor. Flap, thrust, and vertical boost — manage thrust-heat as the chart rams up.
Candle Dash
Navigate the markets
Real candlesticks become playable neon corridors. Choose Original, Extreme, or Cockpit — study classic patterns as you race, earn coins for clears, customise your Hangar loadout, and share the run.
The mission
Arcade flight through real charts
Every level is shaped from authentic exchange candles — pair, timeframe, and history you choose. The wicks are risk. The bodies are your runway. Same candles, same physics. Finish for coins, push farthest on DNFs, beat the board, then share the result.
Three ways to fly
Game modes
Same market geometry. Three race styles — pick one when you build or save a challenge. Each mode keeps its own leaderboard.
Nitrous daredevil
Extreme
Same ship view, hotter pace. Nitrous battery replaces thrust-heat — freefall to recharge, burn for speed, snag full battery pickups along the corridor.
Corridor pilot
Cockpit
Fly the candle high→low range in first person end to end. Same flap / thrust / boost controls — a chequered finish marks the last wick.
Choose your challenge
Four ways in
Build it, browse it, or load a friend’s code — then pick your game mode, check the chart’s difficulty read and pace, and launch.
Build your own
Pick a market, interval, length, historical window, and game mode. A live corridor preview shows detected shapes as you tweak the window. Charts get a Chill→Black Swan read; pace (Steady→Insane) can be retuned until another racer ghosts the chart, then it locks.
My charts
Replay recent runs, jump back into favourites, and keep score streaks on the boards you care about.
Browse charts
Explore curated and community favourites — interesting market moments ready to fly.
Enter code
Drop an 8-character level code and load a friend’s exact challenge. Same candles. Same physics. Fresh attempt.
Your loadout
The Hangar
Finish charts to earn gifted coins, then kit out how you show up — on the boards, in the corridor, and on share cards. Cosmetics never change physics or scores.
Open the Hangar from Home and equip a full loadout. Buy looks with coins, claim milestone unlocks from chart clears, and swap anytime before you launch. Finish charts that contain classic shapes to fill the Pattern Codex — unseen entries stay ??? until you collect them.
Avatar
Pick the face that rides with your callsign on community lists, driver stats, and rival cards.
Ship skins
Swap hulls and liveries — Probe colourways, Rare Saucer and Cat, Epic Ghost and Shuttle, plus milestone unlocks that show in every run.
Trails & thrust
Colour the particle trail plus horizontal and vertical thrust plumes so rivals spot your ghost in the candle tunnel.
Backgrounds
Tint the starfield — deep space, nebula, or ember field — as the backdrop for every race.
More customisation is on the pad — new looks, race vibe, and fresh Hangar slots as CandleDash grows. The Hangar is built to expand.
Read the tape
Classic chart patterns
CandleDash reads the same high/low geometry you fly and lights up classic shapes — names and typical readings, not trading signals. Study before you launch, then log the family in the Hangar Pattern Codex.
Study before launch
Loaded charts can show up to four high-confidence matches. Build Your Own live-previews the corridor as you change settings. Tap the structure strip to open a shape — each one has a name and a typical reading that uses “typically suggests,” never buy or sell.
Fly through the shape
In Original and Extreme, a named rush-zoom fires when you pass the last candle of a pattern. Cockpit skips the zoom so you stay in the tunnel to the chequered finish.
Log the Codex
Finish the chart to collect newly seen families. Unseen entries stay ???. Coin goals at 3 / 7 / 10 patterns; the Tape Reader trail unlocks when you fill all ten.
The ten families
Falling Wedge
Typically suggests a bullish move
Rising Wedge
Typically suggests a bearish move
Cup and Handle
Typically suggests a bullish move
Bear Flag
Typically suggests a bearish move
Bull Flag
Typically suggests a bullish move
Descending Triangle
Typically suggests a bearish move
Ascending Triangle
Typically suggests a bullish move
Symmetrical Triangle
Break can go either way
Double Top / Bottom
Typically a reversal shape
Head and Shoulders
Typically a reversal shape
Conservative matches only, so labels stay teachable. These are educational names from the candles you fly — not financial advice, signals, or a brokerage.

Flick through the deck
Click the arrows, use the keyboard, or swipe on your device — each frame is a real CandleDash screen.
Systems online
Built for competitive runs
Modes, Hangar loadouts, pattern literacy, chart pace, ghosts, driver stats, and share cards — wired for replay value.
Compete on the candles
Compete for points or race the clock. Leaderboards track total score and speedrun times per chart — finish required for a lap time. Bonus wick zones and a completion kick when you crack the level.
Hangar & gifted coins
Finish a chart and earn gifted coins toward your loadout. Spend them in the Hangar on avatars, ship skins, trails, thrust / vertical colours, backgrounds, and more — or unlock milestone looks from clears. Your loadout shows in-run and on share cards, with more cosmetics on the way.
Chart read & race pace
Every challenge gets a structure tag — Chill to Black Swan — from the chart geometry, plus a pace from Steady to Insane. Owners can retune pace until another racer has a ghost; then it locks so ghosts and boards stay fair.
Ghost racing
Pull any leaderboard ghost and race their trail through the same candle tunnel. Find a rival by nickname, or tap a board entry and go.
Collect driver stats
Your account tracks rockets launched, candles burned, levels completed, and total points. Open Driver Stats anytime and share a profile card that shows how far you’ve flown.
Share the run
Every challenge carries an 8-character code. After a race, share result cards with your ship, personal-best deltas, and the gap to the next place — or send the level so friends load the same market snapshot.
Accounts that travel
Jump in anonymously, restore with a recovery code, or link Google / Apple. Coins, cosmetics, clears, and boards follow your callsign across devices — not left on one device.
Pattern Codex
Learn the tape as you fly — ten classic families tagged on the candles, studied before launch, collected when you finish. Educational labels only, never a buy or sell call.
