Squeeze Street - a lemonade stand tycoon

Squeeze Street is a faithful love letter to the classic 2002 lemonade-stand sim Lemonade Tycoon. Prep your stand each morning - stock, recipe, price, pitch - then watch a real-time day unfold as the street decides whether you got it right.

🍋 17 scenario puzzles, each built around one twist

The heart of the game. Every scenario has a measured difficulty rating (calibrated with automated playtesting, not guesswork), and most hide a strategy that turns "impossible" into "obvious":

• 🌧️ The Great Washout — seven straight days of rain. The locals say a profit can't be done.
• 🧒 The Rival — a smug ten-year-old undercuts whatever you charged yesterday. Beat her at the price war, or pitch up somewhere her mum won't let her go.
• 🏟️ Match Week — a stadium residency at £100-a-day rent your float can barely cover.
• 💯 The Perfectionist — profit's not the point: serve one flawless five-star day without losing a single customer.
• 👵 Grandma's Recipe — seven lemons a cup, absolutely no discussion. Make it pay anyway.
• 🥾 Shoestring — eight dollars, found down the back of the sofa. Build a business.

…plus eleven more, sorted easiest to hardest so you can climb.

Also in the box

• Career mode — open-ended empire-building: six pitches, upgrades, research, freeholds, milestones.
• 30-Day Challenge — a scored run with ranks. LEMONADE TYCOON is the top one. Good luck.
• Eleven visual styles, switchable mid-game — pixel isometric, 2002-classic, cel-shaded cartoon, CGI, neon night, blueprint, crayon, ASCII terminal, live TV broadcast, Game Boy.
• A real economy: perishable stock, fickle weather with an unreliable forecast, queue patience, reputation that doesn't come back cheap.

The boring-but-nice bits

Runs entirely in your browser — no ads, no account, no tracking. Saves locally. Works on phones. All music and sound synthesized live; every pixel drawn by code.

Built in collaboration with an AI coding assistant, with human design direction and playtesting throughout. No generative-model assets — all graphics are hand-authored procedural canvas code, all audio is a coded synthesizer, and every scenario was balance-tested against measured win rates.
