Lemonade Rage was an 8-bit Beyonce video game based off of her “Hold Up” music video. It was prematurely shut down after we were issued a cease and desist by Bey’s legal team. But it may or may not live on somewhere deep in the password protected web.
It was featured on Buzzfeed, Refinery 29, Pop Sugar, Pigeons & Planes, Fact Mag, HotNewHipHop, Fast Co Create, Mic, Engadget, Entertainment Weekly and more
The project won a Webby Award 🏆 in 2018.
