My laptop isn't very good so this ran at about 1/7th speed for me, making it pretty unplayable :(
What I managed to see of it was pretty cool though, presentation is great and it looks like it'd be a lot of fun at full speed!

This game was so much fun! I really enjoyed the music and the custom art, the flying animation and the tire marks when hitting stuff was a lot of fun too!

Shepard's RunVery nice game. Mowing grass is quite fun. Good controls.
Funny thing is that at first I thought that the main menu was a actual level and I was wondering why there wasn't a timer or a score label even as I was mowing the grass there.
Then I realized that I had to step on the level areas in order to start the actual levels.

Colony DefenseFor some reason this game eats up 100% of my GPU and like none of my CPU. So It plays at like 1/3 speed. Don't know if there's a way to make it so I can play this game at normal speed...

Monkey ModeFirst time playing a mowing game but it was pretty fun! Mowing the grass becomes surprisingly addictive.

Abyssal AscentA good time, especially with a controller. Well polished on all aspects except for the optimization of some code, as I noticed the more I shred through a grassy field, the more my game will chug if I enter said area again. It's my only nitpick and thus very forgivable. Good job!

Infinity_SprintI have never played a mowing game before, but I'm glad I have now! This game is really fun and cozy, I liked sitting back and mowing the grass. It is a simple but addicting game. I got a B score!

Beep Boop's EscapeThis was really fun and impressive, I daydream about making a mowing game every summer while cutting grass but always come to the conclusion that simulating all that grass would just be way too hard to figure out, and this game pulls that off and makes it look easy. The drift boost was an awesome mechanic, and the music is a perfect fit. I really liked the art and how unified the game feels, and the level selection is really cool too. One of my favorite parts is all the unique end screens based on your score, one time I had a D score and just ran into cars for the last 30 seconds since I already saw the C score and wanted to see what the D end screen was. Lots of personality in those end screens, and throughout this whole game. I liked in the credits how the devs each did some technical work and some artistic (visual/music) work, love to see that!

Bigmode Jam Kart 2023I really adore the clever implementation of the theme, basically having the whole game inspired by wordplay. The game itself is great for its simple fun and the catharsis of boosting around looking for remaining bits of grass to cut away.
I liked the aesthetic of the grass effect as well, though I think it might've helped in causing my laptop's performance to chug at times. Overall, it made for good silly fun!

Raintown SlickersFirst of all the main theme has no business being that fire. Reminded me of DFO or Guilty Gear or something, so good. The gameplay itself is simple yet addictive, and i found myself purposefully getting hit by the new mechanics each level just to see what cool thing they would do to my character. Hitting the dog and sending it flying while it made that sad yelp made me laugh out loud. All of the little touches like that, the skid when you drift, and the different pictures for the different ranks are great. The last level took me a 2nd try but I ended up with Bs or As on all 6 lvls. Really cool game, great job!

Loot n' GoblinA hilarious and fun take on the theme of mode. It was a great time mowing around town and this was an overall fun and silly game to play. Great work!

Bobby Wants SoupLove the pun and the game! A lot of fun zipping around! Got a B average! (one A, 2 Cs, and 3 Bs) Got a good chuckle at the interactions between the mower and the cars and such. Great job!

Stick Game ModesIt's games like this that make me proud to be Lawn Gang. I like the slippery controls- it's fun to lean on the accelerator and mow with reckless abandon. I'm a big fan of games that let you impact the environment to this degree. It was fun seeing the chaos I'd wrought by the end of a level: small patches of grass I couldn't bother to clean up and skidmarks everywhere. It's a nice touch that you navigate the level select screen with the mower as well. I liked practicing movement without the pressure of a timer. Simple chaotic fun with a power metal soundtrack to match. Great work and keep on mowin'!

Lawn ModeThis is my favorite "mowing type" game! I love that each level has it's own little gimmick added. Well done!
