Are all first loves this bittersweet?

Quiet, shy and anxious, confessing to your crush takes every ounce of your courage. And when it all goes wrong, the last space left that is safe is the roof.

But when a kind hand offers a carton of lemonade, how will your paths collide?


  • A compact and emotional high school story
  • 10~15 minutes of gameplay
  • 2,000 words and 2 possible endings
  • Original story, artwork and soundtrack
  • Originally made in one week in the spirit of O2A2 2021

O2A2 stands for the week-long 'Only One of Any Asset' game jam. As the name suggests, only one of any asset could be used to weave together a game β€“ one sprite, one background, one piece of music, and so on. The jam also capped scripts at 1,000 words. Lemonade's finalised script ultimately exceeded the jam's limits, but this game would never have existed without O2A2, and I'm grateful to have been a part of it.

In the process of writing Ellie and Mei I fell deeply in love with their characters, and wished I could have explored their lives, shared memories and stories a little deeper. If it ever seems appropriate, maybe I'll revisit their little world again someday...


Lemonade '2.0' is here! This is a brand new, re-squeezed, 'Concentrate' edition of Ellie & Mei's story – with oodles of new content, including new dialogue, CGs, animations and music!

i usually don't comment but holy moly this is the best VN i have played to date, it's way too adorable and OH MY GOD the soundtrack is just amazing

this game was so sweet! I wasn't expecting voice acting! this was such an enjoyable game

So sweet and cathartic! Love Mei's positive outlook, definitely wish I had a friend like that haha. She seemed wise beyond her years, like an auntie type 

This is goals as well:

a game beautifully made. So thankful for this experience.

This game was such a wholesome and adorable experience!! <3  As someone who is very shy I could relate to Ellie very well and I feel that what Mei said to her will stay with me for some time :'3 Thank you so much for making it!

Thank you for such a lovely comment, and I'm so glad Mei's words resonated with you! πŸ’• Keep your chin up~ πŸ˜Š

Lovely little gem of a game! πŸ‹

Adorable art style & well-written story. I enjoyed reading this very much and loved how both Ellie and Mei felt so fleshed out in such a short amount of time.

i really loved this. Thank you.

best game i have ever played. as someone with anxiety it felt so good to play this game. Thank you so so much

I'm so glad you enjoyed it - it means a lot!

Hello, I'm Nagasari Ferrea and I'm a Malaysian VTuber. May I stream this game on YouTube and suggest it to my fellow VTuber friends?

Hi there! Apologies for the *very* belated reply, but of course you can!

That was so sweet. I especially *adored* the way you wrote Mei's lines, made me really fall in love with her character. And when the voicing came in, it was just <3 Altogether, I really loved it.

hi. i was wondering if i can get an alternative download for this game? ive been wanting to play it for a couple months now but the download keeps failing. Thanks!

This was pretty cute! I liked the art.

So cute, so wholesome, I want a glass of lemonade now

Super wholesome and really wonderful game! The art was great and so was the music, they really elevated each other to make it a super great game! The voice acting was really unexpected but added to the game too! Not enough words to describe how wholesome, positive and nice the game is. Amazing job on it!

I was introduced to this game by my friend Masa Kei. It's a short story, but it's a wonderful story that shows the subtleties of the girls' hearts. I would like to see more of your work. I'm looking forward to your next work.


OMG! There's a moment in this game that hit us so hard and it's so unexpected. It's a sound queue that you don't see really in visual novel and i think it's great! My partner and I would read the dialogue for the video and when that moment happens, we were speechless. Really enjoyed everything about this.

I loved the game its so cute

I love how you portrayed all these emotions in 10 minutes while many can't do so even in hours of content! Great job!

(+1)

the voice acting caught my partner and i off guard and it was wonderful moment. 

i can understand that it's unexpected :)

(+1)

I thought my heart was dead, until this. xD 

(+1)

this is very wholesome, i love the characters alot, what caught me off guard was the sudden voice acting at the  end, it was gone, just really sudden, but was still really wholesome


I also did a video on it so enjoy! great work by the way

Thank you so much! I have a preference for sentimentality, so I surely will 😊

this was awesome and made me literally melt

(+2)

Thank you, that's lovely to hear! I hope you can resolidify yourself soon, friend πŸ˜‚

I have a question, why is it every time I click the download button something pops up that says

"leeporinee.itch.io says can't be bought"?

(+1)

lol nevermind I refreshed it and it worked:))

(+1)

Hi Angel - sorry you had that issue but glad it's been resolved! πŸ˜Š

This was such a cute story and the soft art style goes along with it. Really enjoyed it. Great job!

(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it πŸ₯°

This is a perfect slice of life story. For some reason, it makes me think not only about lemonade, but also about a hand-made apple cake, baked with love. I found only two bunnies... Did I lose the mini-game?

(+1)

There are far more than two bunnies hidden throughout this project πŸ˜‰ You may have to get creative to find some of them!

(+1)

Adorable and can relate to the feelings. Kind of like these short VNs.

(+1)

I'm so glad you do - they're the perfect material for a sunny afternoon! All of the O2A2 entries were great this year, so if you haven't already, give some of them a shot. I'm sure you'll find something else you'll like.

(+1)

Love the art style! It's really cute.

Thank you, that's such a lovely compliment!
