I really liked the idea but I kept getting super stuck on the rocks and water going for the 100% and there was no way out but to wait for my gas to run out :(

Good game, but add some upgrades for additional depth.
Surprisingly entertaining. Though like @TeamOliphants said: Got stuck in rocks with no way out.
Please, change the text of the download link: it's not the "Web", but the "Windows" one.
Note: your link says "Web" but goes to a download for a Windows executable. You might want to change the link name to make that more clear, since most people will see "Web" and expect something that runs in the browser.
This is a cool idea, but the gameplay gets tedious pretty quickly. After a while the mowing starts to feel like an actual chore. Also, the collision physics are extremely janky. Being teleported to the side and having my velocity reset when I run into a rock is not a good experience, it's very jarring. I also got stuck on the rocks and couldn't move until my mower ran out of gas.
Nice mechanics, it really resembles the feeling of using a lawnmower. I failed level 3, but it still took me to the victory screen.
There was no audio for me, is that a bug?
Also, there's no audio, so you should remove that category from your scoring.
First Ludum Dare game I played to completion for a very simple unassuming game a really enjoyed it. I liked the "speeding" mechanic and the balance between grass and completion was just right. The end scene was a nice little extra aswell. Only downside was I did get stuck on rocks 3 times but was glad to see I didn't have to start from the beginning. Good job!
Congratulations on your first LD submission!
Simple, but good idea, controls feel right, acceleration feels right, graphics fit together well.
However, I found the game a bit boring (that might be because I don't own a lawn). A bit of good background music could have made it quite a relaxing experience.
I kinda wish that people didn't have such big lawns, but I'm super happy that I've finally saved up enough for that N64 I've always wanted!
A nice, simple, yet original concept. Might have benefited from some funky audio. ;)
