You are the timer
Your wick burns down every second, and the candle gets shorter on screen as it does. A Flare in mid-air gets you higher but burns wick. Light a brazier and it gives the wick back, every time you return to it.
Trailer
Water puts you out
Pools, dripping ceilings and a well that floods from below. One drop and your flame goes out with a hiss, so every dripping spout is a gap you have to time.
Climb on warm air
Ride the warm air from vents up chimneys and wells, Flare across the last gap, and carry your flame to the lantern at the top.
