The Brutal Indies Unleashed Steam Festival welcomes High Fructose, an explosive first-person roguelite that combines the precision of Ghostrunner with the satisfying slice mechanics of Fruit Ninja, created by the talented animator responsible for crafting one-third of DOOM Eternal’s most memorable glory kill sequences.
This high-octane experience challenges players to slice, sprint, and manipulate time as they navigate through intense combat scenarios featuring:
Mutant Produce Enemies – Battle against corrupted fruit creatures including Serpentine Bananas, Flaming Pumpkin Beasts, and mythical Dragonfruit Wyrms.
Visceral Finishing Moves – Execute juice-drenched elimination sequences drawing inspiration from DOOM’s signature brutal takedowns.
Sinister Combination System – Master forbidden recipe chains through the Shadow Cookbook mechanic to access game-changing abilities.
Progressive Skill Rankings – Advance from Novice Tier to Master Level through increasingly challenging roguelite progression systems.
“My goal was to channel the raw intensity of DOOM’s execution mechanics and blend it into something completely unexpected and thrilling,” explained Chris Cantero, High Fructose’s creator. “It merges Ghostrunner’s lightning-fast movement, Fruit Ninja’s deeply satisfying cutting mechanics, and DOOM’s unrelenting aggression into one cohesive experience.”
Gaming enthusiasts can experience this unique fusion during the Brutal Indies Unleashed Steam Festival, which runs from September 12th through September 26th.
