About Apples & Lemons
Apples & Lemons is a hyper casual puzzle game that is set in the fictional town of Lemons. You are a character who loves to play puzzles, and your focus is on completing tasks within the limited time frame. The game is built around a south-American take on the style of Apples and Lemons, where the focus is on the individualism of players’ tweets as they participate in a dialogue about the game.

There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
