The fact that I immediately crashed the damn tractor and then stalled while doing doughnuts pretty accurately sums up my experience. It was very chaotic in a very funny way, and I enjoyed it! The graphics and sound effects work together to sell the goofy vibe of this game, and I laughed while playing it. Nice work! :D

Also, here's some bad fan art for you:

Thank you! It's simple, but I had a lot of fun working on it. Love the art :D

This was a ton of fun! I never did get more than 1 star, haha, but still it was a great time. Hope you had fun making it, cheers!

Glad you liked it! It was a lot of fun, I just wish I'd had more time to add more failures that you'd have to address but maybe simpler is better here

This was pretty interesting! although really unforgiving it was still fun to play! well done :)

Developer

thank you! Initially it was going to be even more unforgiving with the mower listing or the wheel jittering randomly, but I think this was a relatively fair balance

Fun! I found myself replaying to try and top my score. One suggestion would be to have a visual/audio cue a split second before the engine dies, so you can try to steer yourself into a safe arc while restarting it.

^^^ Good suggestion, soozafone!

Developer

I like that idea a lot, like a few sputters before it dies. I think I'll add that in after judging is done thanks :)

This is a solid little game. Enjoyed it!

Yeah, it's really the time to buy a new mower ^^ The game is quite nice, even though it has failures, the mower is not frustrating to control so it's good!

My first version was a lot more frustrating - the steering wheel would jitter and I was playing around with having the mower list left or right, but I think the stalling mechanic feels better overall even if it's simple. Glad you liked it :)
