Wiki/Graves and candles

Graves and candles

Everyone in the Pit has their own way up, but the traces stay for all. A grave rises where a best run ended. Sometimes a candle burns beside it, and it gets a little lighter around it.

Graves and candles exist only in the ranked run. It is a solo mode where every player climbs the same level all day. Graves mark how far the best runs got, and candles light up the Darkness for those who climb after.

Graves

#

Every player leaves one grave on the level per day. It appears at the highest point of their best run of that day. If a later run goes higher, the grave moves to the new spot. Runs below the best one don't move it.

The player's name is written above the grave. A player's own grave is visible too and shows how far they got that day. A new day brings a new level, and the graves appear on it anew.

Mass grave

#

If the best runs of several players broke off in nearly the same spot, their graves merge into one mass grave. It shows how many players fell there. Such graves mark the spots few get past.

Candles

#

To light a candle, walk up to someone else's grave and press F, or click or tap the grave. A candle can't be lit from afar.

A player can light one candle per grave. A candle can't be lit at one's own grave.

Candles don't move with the grave. If no one else lies at the old spot, the candles there go out.

Light in the Darkness

#

In the Darkness there is little to see. A grave with at least one candle lights up the Darkness around it. The more candles, the wider the circle of light.

A candle lit at someone else's grave lights the way for everyone who starts a run later that day. This is how players help each other without ever meeting.

Counting

#

The profile counts "Respects paid" and "Respects received". There are achievements for the candles a player lights and for the candles lit for them.

The Pit remembers everyone

Someone will climb after you. Leave them some light.
