Lemon-scented
There's plenty more beyond that central conceit, of course. You'll be able to explore all manner of different levels (as seen above) ranging from gorgeous beaches to orchards, each of which has their own different effects and mechanics for you to deal with.
And of course, given this is a cosy game, you'll have a wide array of characters to meet, a cute backing soundtrack to keep you in that laid-back mood and plenty of new crops to discover on your travels.
It's a shame that we're not going to see Life and Lemon come straight to mobile, as I can see this being a particularly exciting game for fans of something like Stardew Valley, but who want a more casual 'gameified' experience. Hopefully, if it proves to be a hit on PC, we'll see that mobile release pushed a bit ahead so we can get our hands on it sooner.
