Puzzle Monthly #2: Match-3 Is Broken, Pixel Flow Clones, and Royal Kingdom’s Rise

- The mobile puzzle market is characterized by a lack of mechanical innovation, as high user acquisition costs and incumbent dominance force developers to prioritize refining existing models over risky gameplay experiments.

- Lemonade prioritizes a robust evaluation (evals) framework over post-training, allowing the company to rapidly swap underlying AI models as technology improves without sacrificing the quality of the user experience.
- Beyond basic coding, Lemonade is expanding into UI generation, noting that approximately 50% of Roblox game development is dedicated to 2D interface elements like inventories and leaderboards.
