Very fun! Very cute! Controls took a second to really understand but once I got them they really gave off the "I'm riding a bug" feel

Love it :) I didn't get the controls for the first few seconds either, but once I did I had a ton of fun with it. Don't think I've ever played anything with a character controller like that! Awesome!
Loved the music, loved the art. Great fun!
A lot of fun and a unique controller, loved the sounds ^^
From a purely "atmosphere" / vibe / mood standpoint, this is the best game I have played this jam! The little animations for everything really make a big difference for the feel and the world certainly feels very alive. This does remind me a lot of 2000s PC-games with the music, silliness and colours.
The art style is very cute and radiates good vibes. Sound is great, the controls do feel a bit clunky at times, but it was manageble.
Overall a great game! You should rate some more games if possible, it would be a little sad if this didn't get the chance for a ranking.
A very, very cute and cozy game :) To be honest, the controls were a bit frustrating at first, but once you get used to them — it’s a joy :) I loved how, in the end, the flowers come together to form a picture in different parts — that was really sweet :) And yes… the idea of conveying speed through sound (slowing down) — brilliant! Thank you for your game!
Upbeat and cutesy! Love the beetle aesthetic. Had a bit of a moment in the start understanding that I had to go to the 'next' area, but after that is was a fun short romp. Eating grass never was this chill!
Really nice vibe - very relaxing to play & I loved the vibrant colours! Initially I thought the controls were a bit tricky, but once I got the hand of slowing down to make tighter turns it started to make sense. I also really enjoyed the audio design - the way the music slows down when you do suits the game very well (and pushed me to go faster :P) Very nice entry! :)
Really nice and fun. I liked the look and feel of the game.
This is an excellent game! I loved all the art in particular--the plasticy textures, the animations of the beetle leaning forwards and backwards, the grass cutting animation, the details revealed until the grass, the icons on the title and credits screens, all of it. I also liked the way the music slowed down when you had been going slowly for too long. I really enjoyed the part where you did have to slow down and navigate carefully, though a checkpoint or two would have been appreciated. I even liked the outside-of-the-box interpretation of the theme. Great job!
Very cute! Loved the silly little characters and the overall pleasant vibe. Lots of attention to detail, like how the character rears back and the music gets distorted when you slow down. Gameplay was simple but enjoyable. The character was fun to move around, especially in those larger fields. Although, it felt like the game needed a more interesting complication than death water, which just sorta slowed everything down. Like... enemies that can bump into you that make you lose grass, ramps you can jump off of if you have enough speed to reach more grassy areas, etc. Just something more to do in those big open areas. But I had a good time with this silly little game regardless. Nice work!
An amazing game turned out! Sure, it doesn’t quite fit the “depth” theme, but as a game overall – it’s awesome! Everything is super cute, though it lacked ambient sounds, and the music gets a bit annoying after a while; maybe some pauses or melody changes would help. Well done, good luck! 😊

It has a beautiful visual style, but the monologue at the beginning of the level is a bit drawn out, and there's a long wait for the next phrase. It would be better to add tutorial lines to the monologue. I watched it on the game page and immediately realized that you need to slow down to turn more easily. Overall, it's a good game. Great job!
Damn that is some *nice* grass. Never knew bug grass cutting can be so satisfying and chill.
Overall, very nice art and animations. Controls actually feel really good and solid, dialogue was funny! Could see this being a very satisfying game folks over at r/cozygames would like - a sort of game in the genre of powerwash simulator :)

Nice and fun little game. Liked these worshipper guys, their dialogue was funny.
What a cute and fun game! The animations and controls are fluid, cutting the grass is super satisfying and I love the characters, very good job!
