Orange is a game about perception and being different.
You play as an orange person in a blue world.
Sound of the html5 version stops working after a while, which is not the case in the windows version. This is why I removed the soundtrack from the web version and placed it on the web page itself.
Arrow keys to move. Press enter after you've entered your name to continue and down to progress through dialogues.
Space to use a certain artifact.
Firefox seems to scroll down when you press the down key. I'm looking for a solution.

Woops, tried to run it with wine and got 'Cabinet not valid'? Sorry, maybe that's not your fault.
I'll have a timelapse to prove it later :) Still playing games now. :D
Very nice Zelda-style game. Like it. Although my browser kept scrolling down when I pressed arrow-down for a while. Nice idea with the "seeing the truth" artifact.
The message of this game is great, and the graphics were pretty!
I love it. Cool puzzles, cool story, nice game art... very well polished too... great job. tagged it as a favorite for this ld!
I can't get past the first dialog (and can't press enter while writing my name) in the web-version (ff).
Pretty cool, liked the idea. The art looked nice too. Good job.
Fantastic little story you came out with in only 48 hours, good job. 5/5
LOL I'm a dude playing a girl named after myself! Didn't see that coming! Like the music and visuals.
Wow, cool game! You managed to stuff it with something meaningful, exhibit a killer dual world environment with lots of elegant features, a challenging puzzle, really funny characters, and simple controls. So easy to understand. And I played through to the end because I love adventures! Fantastic work!
Graphics look awesome. Soundtrack is nice too. When playing in the browser and holding down the down arrow the site scrolls down :/. I love the way you didn't make the whole world change but instead show a window into another world. I also like the message of the game :).
Quite an interesting story! The aesthetic elements fitted each other perfectly!
The scroll bar thing in firefox is really annoying, it's not a problem in Chrome. I'm looking for a solution. I'll probably just end up making the page shorter.
Aw your game is so amazing! I'm so sad it crashed at some point on the web and I have a mac so no luck playing with windows build :c but i love love love and want to play more :D
I might have access to a mac tomorrow. If so I'll make a mac build!
I *think* that the issue with scrolling down is also solved (with a little javascript). If anyone still has this problem, please tell me. When I play in firefox it doesn't happen anymore.
It was beautiful and meaningful. Usually games with a message are not fun, but this one was.
Really good idea and great graphics. It kept crashing the page in chrome though so I couldn't complete it
Maybe a bit heavy on its message :p, but well executed & some use of the dual-world mechanic & temple puzzles. Pretty cool!
Really nice game with sweet message, I really liked the old game boy color like graphical style. I don't have much to add, this was really polished entry!
Perfect game! I love games with a message and this one has a great message, presented in an unobtrusive manner.
The pretty presentation are just a nice add-on. I really loved this game!
Wow, i am always suprised what people can make in 48h, this game feels really polished :)
Interesting story and nice setting. The pixel art is lovely.
Great art, music and style. I love the LD games that actually have an interesting world to explore. :)
Well done, orange is actually my favourite color, haha.
Like the style + sounds, nice how you put the message in there, love it!
Wow, this was great.
Awesome art and game design, and very fun gameplay.
Incredible achievement for 48 hours, well done!
I liked it very much. It was touching somehow. I loved the setup and how you introduced the characters at the beginning. I was amazed at how fast I felt friends with the green boy.
Great job! Sincerely.
I enjoy games that "say" something. Yours had a nice little message!
The retro graphics/sound are great, and the mechanic is both interesting and a good use of the theme.
I really liked the story and its execution--there was a clear message, but it didn't come off as preachy or clichéd. That's tough to do right.
I couldn't complete the game as it kept crashing, however I really enjoyed what I played.
Beautiful game, really enjoyed the exploration and seeing the story unravel. Liked the way you use the artifact also, was a nice touch and nice use of the theme. On my list of favourite games so far.
Thanks everyone!
I've made a mac version. Please tell me if it works properly. It works for me but I havn't ported to mac before.
I wanted to play the Mac version because the web version is also not working for me, but my Mac says, the ffile is broken (the .app file, not the zip file :/ )
Downloading after uploading it, I seem to have problems myself as well, though just using my USB stick, everything is fine. It's really weird and I can't find the solution.
I'm sorry, I've looked at this for hours and can't fix it. It seems something is 'changed' in the file when I upload it, which makes gatekeeper think it's so unthrustworthy that it gives you absolutely no way to open it. I'll have to remove the mac version since I can't make it work. If anyone knows how to fix it please tell me.
Very nice graphics, I like the sound efects and music too. Great work.
Wow, this is neat! I would have liked a more skill-based challenge for the "lens of truth" section. I really dug the graphics and SFX, though, and I think it's cool that you took on a challenge like this for LD. Good writing, too... definitely some of the best I've seen for the RPG games I've played with this Dare.
The emotions in this game made me smile! There are so many good things to this game. Good art, mood(like always) and good story.
If I need to name a minor thing it would be: the "changing world" thing in the temple didn't always feel natural. but a lot of point for you sir!
Tragically, the web version crashed a couple of times on me so I couldn't finish it... I'll abstain from voting. It was pretty enjoyable though. Nice variety of sprites.
the idea is great, and in general this has a lot of potential! If I weren't so directionally challenged I would have liked to get out of the temple...
Whoa! I'm blast, really awesome experience! Graphics really cool, plus the game mechanics to go out the temple is really great and there as a good short story. Really, Congrats!
This was really well designed. Smart idea with the story too. I liked it a lot. Would like a longer version of something like this :)
This is without a doubt my favourite entry. Great art, great music, very interesting game mechanic and cool puzzles, and a positive take-away message.
Beautiful and well thought out, tackling a subject you don't often see in games. I really enjoyed this. Well done! :)
highest rating i've given out yet, great job with the theme and mechanics!
Didn't know my android tablet could webgl. A bluetooth keyboard and i could play it.
Nice game!
Played through the whole game, nicely done! You should consider expanding it some more as a post-ludum-dare thing, but it's pretty good as-is.
I like the message and how you communicate it. The graphics and music fit very well, too. Good job!
Graphics are really cool. I couldn't end it though...
BTW igot stuck 1 or 2 minutes when entering my name (ed). Then I realised I the name must be longer ^^
@Posva (ed) good point, first names can have two letters, my tired brain didn't think of that...
The metaphor of getting trough obstacles, between reality and perspective is amazing. I think you could do much more with the concept, but it's superb for a game made in a weekend.
Great job, loved that the message was folded into the gameplay, it felt very natural. Polished graphics, quality audio and an interesting mechanic. 5'd.
I really enjoyed the message in this game. Played it in Firefox without any issues. Graphics and music were great! Good job!
Very nice story and interesting puzzle, Also good mood and cute art. Nice entry.

NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline.

For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
This one was pretty! And it sounded nice and the mood and theme really were polished and it had a great little message in there. Fun! Not very action packed however.
