DOWNLOAD NOTES
It seems that Google Chrome will block the .exe download as part of its new "malware protection" feature. If that happens, try downloading it through a different browser, or you can go to your Chrome's Settings, scroll down to "Advanced Settings", and uncheck the box for Malware Protection.

STORY
The world of the Purplites has collided with the world of the Orangites, fusing the two together. This is bad, because purple is deadly to Orangites, and orange is deadly to Purplites. Two friends emerge from the chaos -- one orange, and one purple -- and they take it upon themselves to trigger a bomb that will once again separate their two worlds.

CONCEPT
This is an awkward-controls-meets-puzzle-platformer in which you, as a single player, must control and manage two characters on screen at once. Each hand controls the left-right movement of one character, and the jumping of the other.
To make matters even more interesting, the two characters can never touch the same things, because orange kills purple, and purple kills orange. They can't even touch each other!
The game contains only one level, as it is difficult enough to master that I wouldn't dare put anyone through a second one. If you get to the end of the first level, you deserve to win the game. There's even an ending cutscene thrown in there as an incentive. Hop to it!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW THEIR LITTLE FACES ARE SO DAMN CUTE
Also damn you for crossing the controls ;) I probably wouldn't find it too hard if it was A/D/W and 4/6/8 for left/right/jump on each character.
Excellent submission, best game I've played so far!
It seems I seriously underestimated the proportion of game developers who don't have numpads...
Could have used an extremely simple first/tutorial level, or maybe save points but I understand that's almost impossible given time constraints.
But it's a great game, the physics, graphics, and concept ...
