Lemon Run is a minimalist runner game that pursues extreme difficulty. It's a free-to-play action game for challengers, with a legend that the developer himself could only reach 1500m in endless mode.

**Game Overview**
It features five distinct game modes, with difficulty scaling from "Easy" to "Impossible. " Controls are basic jumps and movement, but obstacle placement and speed adjustments are clever, requiring high concentration and repeated practice.

**Key Game Modes**
- **Endless Mode**: Infinite running to compete for distance. Legendary difficulty with the developer's personal best being 1500m.
- **Graduated Difficulty Modes**: Five modes set from "Easy" to "Impossible," gradually increasing the challenge.
- **Obstacle Avoidance**: Requires learning patterns of dynamic and static obstacles and mastering optimal jump timing.

**Target Audience**
- Casual gamers seeking high-difficulty challenges in short sessions
- Performance-oriented players who enjoy repeated practice and personal best updates
- Those looking for quality simple games for free

**Practical Notes**
- No Japanese store page. Interface and descriptions are only in English.
- Fully single-player oriented (Single-player only).
- Free to play, but no additional content or DLC exists.
- The core of the game is "difficulty," making it unsuitable for relaxation-focused play.
