Hilarious game, especially the ending. Those shiny bottles sure are disorienting.

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.

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.

The RemainderNice "mowing type" game! I especially like that the mower controls with gear shifting instead of natural acceleration. It makes combo extensions tricky and satisfying!

Biggie Blasteroriginal, satisfying, looks, sounds and plays just right. i just wish there was more kids to mow down.

Host KillerLoads 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.

COGMOIs 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!

ADMINISTERAnother 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.

MowedI 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!

DANGER A La ModeWhat 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

Single-Core DetectiveGreat 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.

Difficulty ModeThe 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!

Big Trouble in Little GardenThe greatest video game ever constructed. Such a sad ending though, I hate it when the hero is blamed unjustly for their actions.
Submitted
Difficulty ModeThat drunk effect got me dizzy, but I loved it! The only critique I might have would be that I couldn't see what was ahead of me when I was driving super well. That could be the game design though, idk. Otherwise, great game!
