Orange_Juice at a Glance

Orange_Juice operates as an independent game circle from Japan with a catalog of twelve titles released between 2004 and 2015. The company acted as both publisher and developer for its entire run, though it published only four of these games while developing all twelve. Their output remained steady across two decades, releasing six games in the 2000s and another six in the 2010s. This consistent schedule covers a wide variety of genres, with indie titles dominating their list at nine entries. Shooters appear in eight projects, followed by four fighting games and two arcade releases. They also dipped into strategy, card games, adventure, RPG, and sports categories with single titles each. All twelve games were built for PC on Microsoft Windows, with only one title appearing on the PlayStation 3. The average rating across their eight scored games sits at 67.7 out of 100. This score reflects a mixed quality history rather than a consistent track record of excellence. Their portfolio includes three titles rated above 80, which qualify as great, alongside three games in the good range between 60 and 79. However, they also produced one game rated as poor under 40 and one that fell into the mixed category between 40 and 59. The highest-rated works include QP Shooting: Dangerous!! from 2012, Sora from 2010, and Acceleration of Suguri: X-Edition HD from 2011, all scoring exactly 80/100. 100% Orange Juice from 2009 also received a strong 75.6 rating. In contrast, their later releases show some volatility. While Xmas Shooting: Scramble!! from August 2015 held a respectable 70 score, the preceding entry 200% Mixed Juice! from 2014 dropped significantly to 46.2. The original Acceleration of Suguri 2 from August 2011 received a poor rating of 39.7 before the HD edition found success later that year. Their bio identifies them as best known for shoot'em'ups, which aligns with their heavy focus on the shooter genre and arcade roots throughout their active years.
