"I am not a blood orange." - Learn everything about the deadly Orange Roulette game with our comprehensive wiki guide.
Orange Roulette is a Flash-based browser game developed by Mikey Houser, where the unnamed main character must make his way through six turn-based two-man games of Russian Roulette. During matches, you can either spin the cylinder of the gun (though only once per game), or point it at yourself or the opponent. If you point the gun at your opponent and don't kill them, you have to pull the trigger on yourself afterwards.
The story beats that appear in cutscenes are randomly selected, meaning that it changes every playthrough. Did we mention that all of the characters are humanoid oranges?
The game features multiple opponents and challenging gameplay elements that test both strategy and luck.
To get this, you must keep a match going until you make it to your fifth turn!
Win the entire game on your first try!
This medal will trigger even if you spin the bullet right back where it was and croak anyway. Now you know you have equal amounts of good/bad luck, ha ha.
The Banana Gun has six chambers. A single seed pod forms in a single chamber as the Banana Gun ripens. When it has reached full development, under a bright sun, the Banana Gun begins to 'trigger' itself, cycling its cylinder counterclockwise until it reaches the random chamber the explosive seed pod is in.
When that happens, seeds and banana fruit expel at high velocity, and can be deadly if you are in range. You can also pull their 'trigger' yourself with the same effect. If you intend to use the Banana Gun in this fashion, it is recommended to peel back the end of the 'muzzle' slightly, to prevent a backfire.
It is for these reasons that the Apples pick Banana Guns just before ripeness to be used in their evil game. Banana Guns grow on trees. This is how orange juice is made.
In the original version, the final two opponents had the same body type as the rest of the orange people, with only their disturbing facial features making them stand out. The remake gives them various tendrils sticking out of their body to make them come across as even more otherworldly. The final opponent in particular, who had a regular fight in the original, is now fought in a similar manner to Orange Royale in that both you and the opponent are capable of dying four times.
The characters in the game are people with oranges with faces for heads, though this doesn't make the things they endure any less disturbing. Deconstructed in the ending, where the unseen antagonists bring the main character to a grocery store to be sold and presumably eaten.
Despite containing gun violence, disturbing imagery, and implied Human Resources the characters are somewhat cartoony humanoid oranges.
After beating the final opponent, the main character, who was promised to be freed from his captivity by the unseen antagonists, is instead put up for sale in a grocery store like a regular orange. This reveals that the whole game might simply be a way for some twisted corporation to pick the best oranges to sell.
The final opponent is a person with facial features that consist of three black holes in the shape of a face, who you battle while the ghostly faces of your previous opponents occasionally appear in the background, as the music gains a disturbing echo effect.
It'd be easier to count lines of dialogue that aren't some sort of orange pun, than to count the lines that are.
Though there is some strategy involved regarding the chances of the current chamber of the gun being loaded, most of the game still comes down to luck. This is Russian Roulette, after all.
The remake uses 3D models instead of flash animation.
