I found this to be really funny. it’s tricky to go as fast as possible without going too fast, which is an interesting dynamic. short and sweet submission!

Submitted

Simple but really nice concept. I had thought initially that the lawn mower would stop if your mouse was too far away, which would be more intuitive imo, but regardless I'd have loved to see what this would have turned out if time hadnt been  problem.

Developer

Thanks so much! Me too, maybe one day :)

Fun little game with very straightforward controls. Would love an in-game leaderboard. I think I'm on top at the time of posting with 2300, at least going by the other comments!

Congrats on completing your first Godot game! That's awesome!

Thanks so much! Leaderboard would have been awesome. I haven't seen anyone beat 2300, congrats! 

Submitted

It's a short game and to the point! It was hilarious controlling the mower and top speed; it was fun. The controls were also straightforward to figure out. Great stuff.

Developer

Thanks so much!

Super fun little game! It's a lot of fun to keep trying to beat your high score, I would've loved to see a leaderboard for this game. Great work!

Developer

That's a great idea, I wish I had more time. Thanks for playing and commenting!

A great first entry!! The mouse control works really well here and the chiptune + mower art + mower sound made me feel like I was mowing a lawn for Micro Machines for some reason.

Developer

Thank you!

Good job for a first Godot project!

Submitted

I spent five minutes attempting to mow nsfw shapes to the sound of glorious chiptune music and sfx. Well done and congrats on the entry! I like the open-ended, sandboxy nature of this game and how you give players very simple tools to just have fun :) 

Developer

Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback. 

Submitted

Cool idea! Could be fun as a full game

Submitted

Fun little game! Congrats on making your first Godot game in only a week! Looking forward to seeing your future work :)

Submitted

Cool concept! It could use a bit more polish, but I really like the idea.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

pretty original idea and a good twist on the theme,  its a fun little thing. unfortunatley i don't have a mouse to enjoy the full grass mowing expirence 😞

Developer

Thanks! Sorry about that :(

Submitted

Fun little game! It can be quite challenging to try and get a highscore! The audio was too loud though and for some reason only came out of my left headset.

Developer(+1)

Sorry about that, I didn't have time to do some of the quality of life features I would have liked to add. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Love it, Very addictive!

Developer

Thanks! That's more than I could get!

I did! Mwahahaha >:)

Daaaaamn!

Submitted

Is that a high score I see?

Your move!

Submitted

I found myself trying to draw things in the grass rather than going for points, a really fun concept! I could see this mechanic becoming so much more, too!

Developer

Thanks!! I had a ton of ideas that I just didn't have time for, like obstacles, power-ups, etc. Maybe one day...

Submitted

Good sounds, the controls are good and I see how you thought about the theme; could see this expanding!

Developer

Thanks!

i personally find simple pixel art games charming! i like the music, feels like a polished version of what could’ve existed on the NES. i wish there were more instructions at the beginning along with the “press left mouse to start” cue because i wasted a few seconds figuring out the mechanics, and there’s only 20 seconds of playtime to begin with. - ANTIHERO Shiloh
