I quite liked this.

It's only a small game, but it's pretty fun, with a few sound effects and some cheesy music it would be really good.

I couldn't help but think while I was playing it that I was playing a cross between farming simulator and hairdresser simulator. A common joke for a "buzz" cut where I'm from is "losing a fight with a lawn mower". You have the mower and a round object with lots of strands growing out of it. Not sure what that would make the critters mind you ...

Thanks for the game.

Also, I've made a post in the community to advertise it.

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you taking the time and sticking your neck out for this game in the community! ❤️

I know I should’ve done it myself but I’ve always felt awkward about self-advertising. Something I’ll need to work on, for sure.

I don't really like to self advertise either, but for making games I'll make an exception.

Thanks for trying out my game!

I had a friend tell me he was happy to just “shave the entire planet.” Maybe there’s something there…

I’ve heard “losing a fight with a lawn mower” before, but I can assure you, it didn’t even cross my mind until you mentioned it!

After the voting period is over, I intend to clean up and expand on the game a bit. I was thinking of using cute little critters. Now I have some things to consider 🤔 Maybe a really weird planet(oid) where it’s actually someone’s head 🤪

Or make both?

A game for the critters, maybe rescue or capture them and take them to a "reserve" planet. Or line them up and mow them down?

And the head of hair vs lawnmower idea?
