Nice entry, not overcomplicated. The audio was realistic haha, and the effects are cool too. Good Job!
Thanks! I tried to keep it as intuitive as I could.
I mean it's a lawn mowing simulator. I like the butterflies. Good job.
Thanks!
i like the concept and the idea behind the controls, but to play i waited a long time and inside the game i lagged a bit
It may involve the WebGL thing; you get maybe 70%-80% speed on that. It's a demanding program with all of the grass.
I'm happy you enjoyed it though!
Cool game, feels like mowing the lawn indeed!
Thanks!
Perfect for people who don’t have a lawn/garden but want to know the joys of having to maintain one.
If you do ever expand it, could maybe add a 2d hud of the lawn already mown? That way people can entertain themselves by making lawn art.
Nice mechanics and use of the SFX.

Thanks!
I actually am a step ahead of you on that, but I need to get the game fully market-ready before I do this. I figured we could have missions which are crude drawings to make in the yard, and the player could try and draw the picture handed to them... then I would compare the two using OCR algorithms to see how well they did!
But first, I need to get the thing out there.
It's very entertaining and enthralling after a while
Sometimes, a guy just has to mow something.
It took us a long time to load the game after we hit Start, just a heads up for other people playing.
Unfortunately it's a pretty bulky game; but, once loaded, it should run fine. We're looking at... a 30 ½ MB zip.
You nailed steering with the mouse. The butterflies’ flocking behavior was cool. Overall a satisying game could use just a few surprises or easter eggs beyond the butterflies for more excitement–unless I missed them; that’s possible.
Oh, I know; I've got plans for more, but the jam is a wrap. It may become a mobile game.
I'm glad you had fun!
Scratches an itch I never knew I had. Makes a great mobile game as is, but with a shop full of upgrades and progressively bigger lawns, I would be endlessly entertained.
Awesome.
