lawnmower survivors! really well built game wow!
Wow, you know, this is a great concept! The idea that, unlike vampire survivors, the goal isn't to kill the enemies but to just cut the grass, but these rocks keep getting in the way, is a great twist on a familiar concept. The graphics and sound are great too! Well done!
Very satisfying, I wish there were more ways to increase the speed of leveling up or fighting back against the rock horde. That grass grows like crazy
This was fantastic! At first I was trying to destroy rocks but the jump mechanic made a huge difference! Overall it sounded great, was fun to play, looked good, and was very on theme!
Good job! it would be nice if you could get more levels of sharper blades and speed power ups and have more powerful versions of the jump power up. overall Great game! -J
Really nice entry! I loved the sfx, the gameplay and the art, it was all very good. My only gripe with the game is i wish i could power creep more. I want more upgrades, more blades, stronger grass, etc etc etc etc
Tano once again delivers a banger :sunglasses:
Hello fellow cleaning robot game! what a fun concept and I can see with a few tweaks how fun it can get. As it stands I don't feel like I'm able to compete against the sheer number of rocks that are hunting me down.
Maybe balancing the game with something like traps and a rewarding "gold" grass alongside lower damage rocks might help reduce the pressure and give the player a better feeling of success vs inevitable destruction.
@leo115 thanks for the suggestions! Getting the jump upgrade early really makes a difference (maybe we should just have it enabled from the start).
Awesome entry who doesn't love a number go up game? I think the theming was very clever being a lawn mower cutting grass and avoiding asteroids instead of rocks. Overall very strong entry visually, gameplay was really smooth and fun, the high score board was a nice touch, and I had a very fun time and greatly appreciated the controller support!
Really cool game so far! Nicely executed and keeps you coming back because of the leaderboards. Only thing I'd change is up the balance each time you upgrade, since you also have to wait longer for each upgrade.
I'm really bad at it, but it glued me to the screen for like 50 minutes without even realizing, great idea! Technically very polished (not a surprise :P), the game loop is nice, its imho a little bit confusing that the top bar is Grass but then in the shop the currency is money, maybe would have been better simplifying and merging the two? idk, great job as always, go Ta No!
Solid entry ! Good music and sound design, satisfying gameplay and no visible bugs or unfinished features. Congratulations
Wow, very polished games with really good graphics and nice idea - I've never played a lawnmower. :smiley: As someone else mentioned, would be cool to get some more upgrades to really fight back, guns etc. :smile: But might not really fit into the setting.
realy nice game,very good idea
I thought the game was really well made and polished, especially considering the short time we had for the jam. Great idea, and I had a lot of fun collecting upgrades for the lawn mower haha. Great job!
Wow what a polished entry! The balancing is a little of but there's never enough time for something as time consuming as that. For your reference, here's my archived stream 😊🦄
