* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Thanks to popular demand and a very successful Website/{{Kickstarter}} [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/215814918/fruitiest-orange-juice-plushies campaign]] in collaboration with Fruitbat Factory and Symbiote Studios, you too can have your own ''100% Orange Juice'' plushie(s) of Suguri, Sora, Hime, QP, Marie Poppo, and Star Breaker along with their own accessory and cards in your own home.

Orange_Juice is a Japanese independent video game developer that was founded in 2004. They are {{doujin soft}} circle comprising of Junpyon (artist, game designer, and programmer) and hono (artist, scenario writer, and voice actor), with freelance composer DJ DEKU who composes music for some of their titles. Games developed by Orange_Juice are original works that specializes on the {{bullet hell}} [[ShootEmUp shoot 'em up]] genre, but they have also developed a few games from other genres such as {{fighting|game}} and {{role|PlayingGame}}-playing games as well. A common theme with their games often involves cute girls (occasionally with [[LittleBitBeastly animal-like features]]) gifted with special powers/abilities that allow them to take on legions of enemies, and they usually feature a bright and colorful aesthetic with oranges and sweets sometimes thrown in for good measure to contrast the challenging nature of their games.

As with many doujin games, most of their titles were initially released only in Japan often during Comiket, however the Los Angeles-based publisher, Rockin' Android, had expressed on localizing ''SUGURI'' and exporting the series to a Western demographic as their CEO wanted PC gamers outside of Japan to enjoy these games. In 2009, the ''SUGURI'' series made its North American debut through digital distribution via [=Direct2Drive=] and [=GamersGate=], as well as the limited physical DVD-ROM compilation, ''SUGURI - Perfect Edition'', which helped gave their games a cult following in the West. They continued to work with Rockin' Android for a time, whom also published ''Flying Red Barrel'' overseas physically and digitally, until they had a falling out with the publisher after they opted out of localizing further games by Orange_Juice such as ''sora'', which was where the publisher ΩTH, who turned out to be an internet troll, took the publishing rights of the game from right under their noses and released a low-quality bastardization of the game in 2012. This however changed as the Finland-based publisher, Fruitbat Factory, whom also previously localized ''100% Orange Juice!'' in 2013 after it was turned down by Rockin' Android, stepped in to rescue ''sora'' and gave it a proper localization in 2016, and has since published their newer titles overseas.

* ArtEvolution: hono's and Junpyon's artstyle has gradually improved over the years with each title they produced. This is especially apparent when comparing one of their games to its sequel if they have one.

** ''Flying Red Barrel'': Destroying enemies with your missiles will start a combo meter similarly to ''QP Shooting'', but rather than a gradual score bonus, this game instead uses a score mutliplayer that raises from x1 to x16, and the multiplayer lowers if you don't shoot down enemies with your missiles.

* CuteAndPsycho: Few characters of their games, such as Saki (''SUGURI'') and Syura (''QP Shooting - DANGEROUS!!''), some times have an underlying crazy side that's often played for comedic effect, however, characters like Star Breaker (''sora'') plays trope this straight.

* LimitBreak: Some of their shoot 'em up games feature the protagonist with the ability to unleash a perform a powerful attack or enter a {{super mode}} by filling up a special meter and activating it with a button press. Sometimes bosses may have these as well.

** ''QP Shooting'': Defeating enemies and collecting point items will start a chain meter that steadily mounts in score as you collection more from defeating them and converting their bullets into point items, but the chain meter slowly drops if you don't pick up anymore point items.
