This was actually super fun to play, loved that ending haha!
The only complaint i'd have is that the icons weren't the most intuitive but after buying them you can tell what they do. But that's just nit-picking atp, game is flawless!

I find it quite impressive that you didn't use an engine btw

It's almost like a clicker game, but a little more active (which, now that I think about it, a clicker game would be perfect for the theme too!). Simple but very effective, and a great concept to choose with such a short time limit. The visuals are pleasant and the music, while a bit too repetitive, is low-key and seamless. The gag of closing the window with the nuke was quite funny. Excellent entry! 🎉

Wow, great game! Love the progression and the controls and visuals also! The grass being like tiny trees is so cool, because isn't grass really just kinda like tiny trees? lol Great job!

Thanks! I’m a hobbyist that likes to push Pygame to its knees with raytracers and rasterizers. When I found out about this game jam I decided to try making games again.

I got so frustrated with my lawn that I engaged in nuclear warfare. 10 / 10

Fun gameplay! I was a bit frustrated by the endless growing grass but hey, that's reality 😂

Congrats!

Hilarious and actually fun. Cool to see pygame in the wild

The art of the game is very beautiful and the mechanic of making the grass grow again is implemented very ingeniously, if I'm not mistaken, you put a trail behind the lawnmower and the truth is that it is a very good idea with an easy and effective implementation.

(You may not have done it that way but that's the impression it gave me when playing. sorry if I'm wrong)

Thanks! Not quite with the grass regrow mechanic though. I created a grass blade class and set it to mowed if it’s in radius to the mower.
