How does your game represent Mode?
It's in the name. We wanted to subvert expectations by creating a mowing simulator with a twist. That is it's "Arcade Mode" themed, with an additional "drunk" mode when you pick up a beer. Hopefully this will give rise to the new "mower-type" game genre.
Score of 25919 with 22 man slaughter. Run over all of the people. Don't worry it's for a good cause, to up my points baby!
Score of 335 with 0 man slaughter. I got arrested anyway... Guess I should have gone for more points if they were going to arrest me anyway.
The layers of modes utilized here is great! The game play was wacky and fun and kept me engaged for a good while. Nice work!
“give rise to” the new mower-type game genre? you fool, i was there when the ancient texts were written!
hehe it was really nice seeing a different take on grass-cutting score attack gameplay! i loved the little touches you had in the game, especially the physics like with the tires and hitting the soccer ball into the goal. really messed up that i can be arrested for zero counts of vehicular manslaughter, lol! the art style was also very unique, the unshaded models looked very silly and i very much enjoyed that. nice job, fellow lawnmower legion member!
Hilarious game, especially the ending. Those shiny bottles sure are disorienting.
The style is very self-consistent and lends itself to the darkly whimsical nature of the game. The drink powerup is an interesting idea - well implemented in the sense that the camera wobble is disorienting.
Nice "mowing type" game! I especially like that the mower controls with gear shifting instead of natural acceleration. It makes combo extensions tricky and satisfying!
original, satisfying, looks, sounds and plays just right. i just wish there was more kids to mow down.
Loads of personality in this one. Mowing down targets is morbidly satisfying. The only con for me is that the camera wobble from beer pickups gave me a little headache (and it looks like I wasn’t the only one). Perhaps things like flipped controls or other temporary game play changes could be a substitute to assist those who might get motion sickness.
Is it weird to say this is oddly relaxing to play😭? I promise I was not trying to hit anyone, but they really got in my way so it's their fault!! The turning controls feel really solid. I really liked the colorful landscape as well. The drunk driving camera made me a lil dizzy/nauseous, so I tried to lay off the booze. Fun game!
Another Mowed game! I think there were 6 or 7 of us lol. Neat take on the theme. Felt like an old school rampage game, but on a riding mower with booze. Unfortunately picking up the booze was a pretty integral part of getting a high score, and it would make me motion sick. That's entirely in my DNA, but another way to show drinking and driving would be helpful to people like me.
I think I'll be thinking about the children I mowed down in this one for awhile. Specifically I'll be thinking about their freaky, backwards-jointed knees. I really like how you guys presented the amount of enemies I killed as "counts of vehicular manslaughter" at the end. I also loved that menu music. My one piece of feedback is that collecting more than one beer makes beer mode too erratic. I know driving while drunk should be difficult, but I don't think it should be difficult because my character is no longer on screen.
Great work!
What ancient horror forced your hand to birth this game into our accursed timeline. I am screaming and sobbing. 10/10, so glad I was here to witness the birth of the strand-of-grass type game genre
Great take on the "Mowed" theme. It took me a hot minute to realise I was supposed to be killing people instead of avoiding them, could be explained to the player in a subtle way maybe.
The lawn mower handles like a charm! Goofy style and funny interaction with the environment. Would love to see even more stuff to mowe down with different effects.
I also tried mowing the lawn like a law abiding citizen, but still got "Arrested on 0 counts of vehicular manslaughter". Was hoping to get a good ending or atleast just a DUI.
Very funny experience. Great job!
