A good idea with well executed mechanics and great atmosphere. Well done! :)
So glad you enjoyed playing, and thanks for taking the time to leave a message. 😊
Interesting idea. Nice music, I can definitely tell it was performed by an actual person!
Thanks! Music isn't my strong suit, but thankfully my brother came through with something.
A cool idea. It was nice to play something a bit more silly and lighthearted.
Thanks! Silly and lighthearted is what I like to make... weirdly I play a lot more heavy things... maybe that says something. 😁
Had fun with your game. Chasing down the mower as it eviscerates some flowers laughing as I kick it, turning it into more.
I especially dug the music and sounds, so it's awesome to see you guys made the audio during the jam!
Thanks! I really enjoyed doing a few things outside my normal experience, I spent a zen hour or two at 2 am getting smooth loops of audio. :D
very fun game haha
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Awesome game!
Thanks! We loved the low stakes silliness of it best of all.
We played with an idea about "mowing grass" so I am glad someone did it ! :)
Theme wise if the mower would have been a "robot" mower, and by "kicking" it to cut the grass would have been a perfect fit! xD
Good job :)
That's definitely something we were thinking about adding (something along these lines), if we had a bit more time!
Great idea!
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.
Apart from some minor things, one element that really bothers me is the name of the game. Maybe it’s just me (so don’t my words too seriously), but the name is not really memorable. I’ve actually seen your submission several times, but decided to check it out only now (and I don’t regret).
But hey, it’s not even a gameplay-related problem, haha, so don’t worry, the game is cool! I liked it, keep it up
Glad you liked it! :) Agree it's not the most stand-out name for a game! (found 17 game names containing the word "mow" in this contest alone lol)
To be honest it was only our working title until 30 minutes from the end of the jam and uploading was more pressing a concern than names! :D
Ahahah, sorry if I sounded rude, I didn't mean to. I totally understand you. Just wanted to share the opinion with you :) still liked the game, though!
No problem at all! It wasn't rude at all. :) No offence taken.
hahahah very good concept!
Thanks, and thank you for taking the time to play and review!
quite a fun game, found it very humorous and enjoyable good job!
Thanks! We loved making the goofiest concept we could think up!
I like the sounds and the music, and I love the art style (especially the person). There was a small bug, when the person was going out of the screen. But overall the game was original to play.
Hi thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the music and sounds, they were fun to get looping smoothly! I know the issue you mean. I play tested that during the jam and couldn't get it to happen... then my 4 year old son managed it first try after the jam ended!
Very fun game! I definitely agree that it would be a nice drinking game ahahah. Great concept, good job, keep creating games!
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed playing. I'll definitely keep making games... it's too much fun not to!
It's a dompting objective to completely mawn everything. The concept is great, and I would make the character a bit faster. Great entry 💪!
Thanks for playing, and taking the time to leave feedback. Getting the balance for player speed was tricky with a less than ideal physics implementation!
You did great, man !
the lawn is mowed !!!
HAHA very original and fun concept, nice to try dat in a party with my drunkens dudes
Thanks for taking the time to play and comment! And congratulations on getting the lawn mowed, it's not as easy as it sounds. 😁
Hehe the controls are a bit funky but it does work with the theme, overall a good game idea to elaborate upon.
Thanks! And thanks for taking the time to view our game... I hope you don't have a song stuck in your head now. 😅
A slightly more pliable lawn mower would've been the perfect balance between challenging and frustrating ^_^
This could be a fun party game with some more polish, tweaking, and local multiplayer. Imagine a group of people all coordinating to keep the lawn-mower running amok off the flowerbeds! Some of them will coax the beast to the centre and others will scramble for the boundaries haha
There's very little feedback to make the controls feel responsive. You shouldn't let the music smother sfx of in-game elements. There should be a warning telling me not to ruin the flowerbeds.
Thanks for your comments. We had dreamed the Big Dream for local multiplayer (which the game title alludes to) but it would be a great direction to take it forward. Sort of an Overcooked does gardening.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and for playing it. I think everything you mentioned are very good ideas! Obviously, time constraints and all, but it would be cool to have these in the game!
