I understand that its on purpose that the weed grows faster than its possible to cut it, though I can't say I really enjoyed it. I think this is one of those games where doing exactly the same, but flipped on its head - so slower growth, with the goal to cut them all, would be more engaging. 

That being said, with Your concept I think it would be great if some form of level was involved. Like narrow spaces should gate the growth on one side - it should be the player's job to keep the slowly growing grass on one side.

I appreciate that there were those bursting tomatoes, though they made mostly hole, which quickly grew back. I think something different like flamethrower would be  wicked for this game. It could even for short time flip the growth the other way - by spreading fire.

An interesting concept, of growing weeds, out of control! the pixel art was also very layed out, and the gameplay was very smooth!

Nice little game. pressing space bar can be tiring 

A great simple way of showing things getting out of control in a natural way, pun intended! Maybe it's just the plant lover in me but I loved seeing things grow!

Pressing the spacebar repeatedly was a bit annoying and it's funny that the "weed %" bar only fills up halfway. I mean, I know youre not supposed to get more than 50% weeds, but why have a bar that never fills to 100% ya know? haha

Great submission either way!

I wish i didn't have to press space to cut continuously as it's the only action I can take. the hud info in the corner was very important and I wish it was more prominent as I only noticed it when it was too late. I see an idea here with power ups, different island shapes! I hope you keep going with this idea.

Not bad! Fits the jam theme well, but a little repetitive to actually play. Some progressive levels/difficulty, bomber man style power-ups to change the way you interact the grass, and more variation in the growth patterns could make this into an even cooler little arcade game experience. 

I enjoyed it a lot. i got 4:45! it could have done with upgrades or something to break the monotony of pressing space!

nice game  i got 3:43 it was a lot of fun

I like its simplicity. I would have loved the ability to hold down my space bar in order to cut weeds, though. It was pretty fun.
