Loved the game! The theme was rising. It become more and more apparent as the game progressed. Just as a I was ready to stop playing I hit the apex of the games story. Well crafted and well designed! My only concern is the repetitive music and the graphics. Other than those two things the game is very nice!

I read that as "an aging programmer" first. :D But this is really fun, love it! As cbear_wallis said, the music is a bit repetitive and the graphics could use some work, but you really have something there!
i liked it.. i thought controlling two at the same time would be a pain but it was fun and surprisingly easy :)
Outstanding! Excellent design and great use of the theme. I totally enjoyed playing this - well done!
One small thing - bug in the room with 7 torches. I needed to light the end ones before the first ones for some reason.
Apart from that was great - excellent use of mechanics and minimal writing to tell a story.

Fantastic level design and good use of the theme. Nice way of telling the story as well. Had a great time with it. Good job!

Nice story. Unfortunately, in room "With the scroll in my hands I can change the world" wall did not disappear after the all torches were lighted.

I tried running it on Linux (Fedora 19 64) but after clicking "ok" on the screen resolution widows, it just closes and returns to the console with no error messages...

Now, those were some tough choices.

Fun game. Nice take on the theme!
Superb game design, my only grip is I accidentally got stuck in the *SPOILERS* room where you pick scroll or gold, and I got neither.
I really liked the co-op aspects of this to solve the puzzles and also how you used the theme too.

Hey nice game, with cool and clever level design. It would be funnier with another person though :P

Fun little game, mechanically very sound. I like your fire animation :)
Music gets a teensy bit repetitive, but by far the best repeating music I have come across.

Hit quite a few bugs during my playthough (buttons that you could only hit with both characters standing on them, level that wouldn't complete even though both players were standing at the end). The level design was really good though and the mechanics were intuitive.

I thought that this was really fun to play. Easily my favorite among all of the games I have played so far. Great combination of animation and game design.

Graphics weren't amazing, music was irritating, BUT! The story was great. Great work! :)
I liked the feeling of controlling multiple characters at the same time

The harsh reality when you betray someone you need.
I'm not the puzzle type, but this was entertaining! Great story/mood!

This game is awesome. Like... "I should tell my other gamer friends about this" awesome. It was the right length, told its story well, and managed to connect with me. Well done!
I may have encountered a bug, though? The room with the scroll and the chest, I moved on without grabbing either item and it said I grabbed the scroll.

Very smooth learning curve, nice story telling.
Really moody and engaging - the text led me through brilliantly and really imparted emotion into proceedings - I was a bit gutted about the ending! One of my favourites this LD
Great length and tells a nice story. I was able to reproduce the bug a few times by getting the top torch then the bottom torch in the first room and then getting the second room's torches in a 'Z' shape (top-left, top-right, middle, bottom-left, bottom-right). Hopefully this helps. Nice job on the game! :)
