lemonlime is a small, independent arcade of browser games. Every game here runs in the tab you already have open — no download, no installer, no account, no paywall.
lemonlime is made by one person. Every game on the site — the code, the art, the sound, the writing on these pages — is built in-house rather than licensed, embedded, or syndicated from a games network. That is unusual for an arcade site and it is the main thing worth knowing about this one.
The catalog grows slowly and deliberately. A game ships when it is finished enough to be worth someone's time, which in practice means a handful of releases a year rather than a feed of them.
The arcade spans a wider range than most: first-person horror and stealth, PS1-style space combat, isometric tower defense, physics puzzles, word games, racing, and a set of daily puzzles that give every player the same board each day.
Games are built on whichever engine fits — Three.js for the 3D titles, Phaser for one holdout 2D game, and plain Canvas 2D for most of the rest. Each one is written for the browser first rather than ported into it.
The games are free and there is nothing to buy. There are no in-game purchases, no unlockable content behind a payment, and no premium tier.
Most games keep your personal best in your own browser. Games with a leaderboard also send your score to the site's own server so it can be ranked against other players — you can play any of them without submitting a score if you would rather not.
The daily games generate the same puzzle for everyone from the calendar date, so the board you get is the board everyone gets. They reset once a day.
