Swap between five playable characters as you progress through a pastel tropical island, struggling against the local slimes while discovering hidden secrets of the land. A modern spin on an 8-bit action-adventure game! One regular vacation soon turns into a generational tale about family, friendship, hope, bravery, and our impact on the environment. We think every kind of gamer can enjoy the experience of a slightly obtuse old-school game that's balanced to be friendlier to modern gamers. This is an island that will reward the curious with plentiful secrets and hidden ancient relics to be found. Players will explore a vast island, swapping between five different playable characters who have their own unique magical abilities and discovering who is best suited for different areas and obstacles. This game is being carefully developed to be a completely authentic experience, fully created under the graphic and audio specifications of the NES. Orange Island is a new retro single-player 8-bit action-adventure platformer game being developed by former SEGA designer Ted Sterchi.
