Orange Island is an extra-pretty throwback that you won’t want to miss.

The myPotatoGames family certainly can’t get enough of games that take place on islands. The paradise life is the life for us! Give us palm trees, gnar waves, and as much adventure as you can throw at us. Orange Island has all that paradise goodness, plus a whole lot more. With a level of depth that you can feel through the classic style music and soothing graphics, this NES-esque game breathes new life into a classic genre that has since been missed.

A bit about Orange Island…

To touch a bit on just how much this beautiful new title sticks to the ways of the old, its initial release will not only be on PC and Mac, but will have a physical version for the NES! That speaks to a level of commitment that is seldom found these days! As mentioned before, the game takes place on an island, one that is inhabited by slimy baddies that do not wish you well. You have the choice to play as five different characters, each with their own unique abilities and stats. This turns the overall 6+ hours of gameplay into something more along the lines of 30+!

We can already tell that Orange Island includes a rich story told from the heart. A personal tale that we will get to experience in a classic way. This game will hold true to many aspects of the classic gaming experience, including a pastel colored pixel style and 2D side-scrolling gameplay. You will learn to use magical powers to aid you in bringing peace to the lands, and if that is isn’t a classic tale, I don’t know what is. However, Orange Island will have many unique twists that help it soar above and beyond its predecessors.
