What a creative idea! Lawnmower attached to a rope was not something I'd come up with lol but what a smart idea. Visuals are really nice too! Love all the little particles (leaves drifting in the wind) and small details around the ground, the flowers are so pretty! And small piles of leaves are nice too (the want for them to react when you walk through them is big but that's like the least important feature for a jam game to have in the world lol). The grass texture itself is nice and simple too and it's nice and seamless. The cut grass trail left by the lawnmower is very cool too, you really get to see it if you're bad at puzzles and the level has time to go on for a while, so I hardly saw it all (apart from all the times I saw it). Also the trees are very nice, I grew a lot of respect for pixel art trees recently when trying to make them myself (outside of the jam) and I just want to say they're shaded very well! The player character is nice too, being able to sit down in the chair to speed up time is a very cool diegetic way to have less UI! Also glad the game doesn't bug out when winning the level while you're sitting on a chair, the character getting up smoothly and doing the victory animation is impressive. The UI for entering a level is really clean and pretty too! Also being able to get run over by the lawnmower is crazy lol, love the Among us style one bone sticking out.
Woah that music too! I was not expecting a katamari damacy sounding ost but it's awesome lol!
Very cool simple and smart gameplay, it just made sense and made you feel smart doing it, the cap or whatever popping off the lawnmower when starting it is a cool detail, and having to pull the lawnmower multiple times is so much cooler than if you had decided to just make it a one activate button! When the rope cutters (spades I think) came in I was very impressed, first I thought they'd just be a instant death that you had to be careful and look out for but actually having to use them to move the lawnmower is so cool, I was thinking before "wow are we actually gonna do that" and then it was "oh dang that's so cool we're actually doing that :D"
I actually blasted through the levels but I had a hard time on level 10 (juggling the spade was so cool but I just always got the length of the rope wrong to cut the very edge grass lol).
Really dope game! I'm surprised everything is so well polished and the lawnmower just worked exactly as expected! The pacing of the levels and the mechanics taught were paced perfectly too. Excellent work!
(very cool to have a extra "game finished" level)
That was really original! I was having a chill time solving the puzzles and bam I got run over in one of the later levels and I gotta tell you that was quite a scare haha. Fantastic theming and puzzle designs, had a blast! Loved the end screen too!
Thanks so much! That means a lot coming from THE Cosmic Adventure Squad!! (Your team makes such good games)
P.S. sorry for the jumpscare, it turns out our game is secretly an over the top PSA on lawn safety
Very creative concept that works really well! And I love how all the in-game elements make sense in the narrative. (hedges for walls, patches of tall grass as the "collectibles".)
Also very impressive that you managed to find time to add in a level selector and volume control within the short duration of the jam.
Wow an actually unique puzzle game, and it looks really nice too! I love the satisfaction of watching the mower go around, though it would've been nice to have a speed-up button for when I miss the cycle on a long rope. Really well done!
Thanks for playing and leaving such a kind comment!! We didn’t make it too obvious I guess, but sitting in one of the chairs will actually speed up the mower. The idea was that you are sitting back relaxing, and letting the mower work, so time speeds up. Next time, we’ll make it a little bit more clear lol
Lots of fun! I really enjoyed seeing all the patterns the mower would leave in the grass, and definitely spent some extra time in levels to make the patterns all symmetrical. I really like the context for the game as well, very charming!
thanks for playing! Lawn buds!!
Hey, composer from the game Attic Requiem here! Firstly, thank you for checking out our game! I really enjoyed your game and found it fun to play, and the music was really catchy and fit the game so well! I thought the puzzles were well paced and gradually got harder to solve, but it was just right in difficulty. The ending was peak as well like watching dominoes fall over.
thanks so much for playing! Your soundtrack was so good, I’m glad you enjoyed our game, and our music made by Jhawk!!
Hey this was really neat, a very creative concept executed perfectly. Paced really well and everything was taught perfectly through just letting the lawn mower go and do its thing.
Really enjoyed seeing the different patterns get cut into the grass!
I’m glad that you enjoyed, thanks for leaving a comment and playing our silly little game!
Such a fun game, and super genius mechanics, they were introduced at the exact right time, and the length of the game was perfect, hats off!
Perfectly executed mechanics, smart and enjoyable to solve puzzles. I appreciated the bits of humor and just couldn't wait to get to the final segment of each level and just relax in the chair :D Super sweet game. Well done!
Very well done and a cool (and at least to me fresh) take on rope puzzles. I enjoyed this one a lot!
i loved the mechanics and puzzles, some of them took me a bit to figure out and it was a lot of fun!!
Love a good puzzle game
The mechanic is really intuitive, puzzles are beautifully built, lovely game! Good job!
What a great concept! The puzzles aren't particularly hard but it's really satisfying to watch the lawnmower work! There are a lot of great little things here. The risk of death is really funny but also slightly annoying since you have to do some waiting :D. The idea of sitting on the chair to speed up time is neat but the experience would probably be improved by a speedup button!
Still, great idea, great music and great execution over all :)
I am astounded by your creativity and sense of game design. The mechanics were smooth and the gameplay was enjoyable and entertaining.
