That was really fun, simple mechanic but plays very well and really captured the jam idea. Wish there were more elements like combos and stuff like that!

Great entry!

Ha, I too made a grass cutting game, though ours was much less morbid :P

Fun mechanics, though I had some issues with the mouse control, I think you need to make the mouse wrap around and not get stuck within the game window borders.

I loved it! I found myself replaying it and trying to avoid the people and get a better "rank". The controls are tough by design but I found that I got stuck in the bottom left corner a lot.

Clever idea! Seems like it could use 19 hours and 40 minutes worth of extra levels ;) Keep up the good work.

I'm definitely going to look at expanding this with a post jam release and comments like yours absolutely make my day. Thank you so much for giving it a play and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

This game is hilarious!  It's also fun to see someone else go with the mowing theme!

Nice little idea, and very polished execution. Want more levels!

Hey! We made a similar game!! xD

Submitted(+1)

Very cool. It is not the first game I see that makes use of a lawnmower, but I really liked this one! Very cute and well presented. Pleasant and impossible to play just one time! hahaha

Nice game!! Congratulations for the team. Presentation is beautiful and even though the level played is simple, I think it showcases well what a Out of Control theme could be. Many gameplay modes come to my head and this seems like a possibility for a really nice "Mario Party" game to play with family and friends

As someone who hates gardening I still managed to find this a lot of fun and slightly cathartic! There's some incredible tech work gone into this, and a pleasant aesthetic to bring it together!

Fits the theme well and nice graphics. Am I weird that I was waiting for a racer level? :D 
Like mario esque style where you go faster the more grass you pick up. Going outside of the race resets the speed again. (Now I am just thinking out loud)

Love the idea! Perhaps for a post jam version, along with all the other things I ran out of time for, haha. Thanks for giving it a play!

I'm a sucker for goofy ragdoll physics and this for sure scratched that itch. Good job!
