It’s inspired by accessible party fighters like Rounds and Nidhogg, with aesthetics that mash up diverse influences ranging from Samurai Champloo to Inscryption, from Jodorowsky to Guilty Gear.

About the game
Longjuice Squeeze taps into the tension of fighting games without intimidating move-lists or combos, while staying deep for experienced players and theory-crafters via fluid combat and our deckbuilder-esque upgrade system.
Reload your bloodgun by landing hits with your sword; parry bullets; dash in the air and across the ground; and draft upgrades between rounds to enhance your core skills and stats.
Discover new card synergies while customizing your build with gear won in both the single-player campaign and online. Turn your bloodgun into a deathray or add poking distance to your sword, each item offering a unique gameplay mechanic to complement your build. Weapons can also be permanently enhanced with stackable, game changing Infusions and Additives.
Longjuice Squeeze intends to provide a novel fighting game experience, where players feel a sense of risk when they enter a fight and of real loss when they lose via the thrill of zero-sum contests, where the winner takes a piece of gear from the loser – for keeps.
Features:
Online multiplayer with rollback netcode
Highly customizable with meaningful gear choices
Tight, streamlined controls
Tense, tactical 1v1 PVP where a loss means relinquishing a core piece of your build to your opponent...
Set in an absurd and vibrant new world
Dozens of minutes of high quality original music to duel to
Based in a strange new world and rendered with singular style, Longjuice Squeeze is the result of the relentless pursuit of a truly weird vision – both in terms of the setting and the multiplayer design.
