I'm not sure what the beer boost did. Or why my tractor would randomly stop working (I think I was refueling). Also it was hard to control. Plus, my wife wasn't happy.

So 10/10 in realism!

The humor is very nice! And the game fits the theme very well too lol. But the gameplay lacked variety, if I had like one or two more things to do it would be nice.

Well, that was depressing! Funny concept and nice grass effect!

An interesting concept. The protagonist could probably use a shift in his priorities! Lovely lawn, though...

Love the humor you put in this game ! Maybe datas at the bottom of the screen are not clear enough of what they do. It was a bit frustrating to be fully stoped without understanding why.

Nice entry though, this is a game I will try to complete just to see all the achievements I'm missing !

nice little game, I liked how big the cutters got lol. Some things did not like so much was: the walls, as they slowed you down and it was kind of hard to escape them again. Also I felt that the passing of time was not as pronounced as it could have been. maybe instead of a timer at the bottom, a simple day/night cycle or seasons changing, but of course this was made for a jam, so maybe kind of a stretch.

**17180** My spouse left me unfortunately. Does that mean I lose or win? I thought I did great at mowing the lawn and bought lots of gifts :)

Made me sad =( Interesting view on the topic. Sometimes the mower stoped for no apperent reason. Overall a nice but depressing entry.

For some reasons I've rated the Fun with 5 stars. Made me so depressed I dyed my hair black.

Joke asides: the gameplay is redundant, but that's not a big deal: the whole game is so funny, it just makes you want to continue, again and again and again... Good job with the writing!

fun... and depressing? and the music... I think I'll buy a robot mower now.

Concept is good ! Cute graphics and humour is nice but the gameplay lacks of variety. And the UI on the bottom is too small, played for some times before seeing it. Very good idea, I can feel that you had a lot of fun doing it :stuck_out_tongue:

Keep your spouse happy. LOL. Gave me a good laugh. And reminded me to clean the fish tank out later too. The pic of the dude on the front is really funny. I love your style and humour. Mabye the gameplay could be a bit faster and more arcadey. But good fun nonetheless.

My god that was dark! :smile: I take it this is a game you cannot win, unless the divorce means winning. :thinking: Anyway, great humour and mood and clever use of the theme.

UI could have used some clearer signaling why the mower was stopping, how much money you have, when is next shopping break etc. Now there are just numbers around and you have to determine what everything means. Gameplay was ok, the mower would be stuck at the edge a bit sometimes and the reverse wouldn't kick in when I pushed back.

I loved playing this video game. I like everything related to lawns and landscape designs. I like spending my time taking care of my lawn and planting plants and trees. It makes me very calm. I have used the services of https://jscustomlandscaping.com for designing my lawn. I had to spend a lot of money on it, but I think it was worth it. I have a big backyard, and I love that it is well arranged and has a lot of trees. It seems like a small forest in the backyard of my house with a big lawn.
