ha, great fun. Very sensitive but that's the point. Thought I was on to a winner just going backwards the whole time but it is too slow. Nice work.

Nice, really liked it although I absolutely suck. Would be great with some 8bit music to go with that style. Great job.

Hilarious. That riding mower has been souped-up. Very smooth controls and impossible to do well, but that is why it is fun.

I like how it is terrible to mow the flowers but okay to slam into the parked car at 40 mph.

Interesting concept. The controlls are just sensitive enough to make it challenging.

I laughed out loud the first time I ran into a fence and read the word "shit" like it was delivered in a totally dejected manner. Props for getting a legit "lol" out of me.

You're supposed to mow only the flowers right? That's what I did. High Score.

Control are hard to master, but fun to play ! Avoid mowing flower is so hard.

I'm about as good as mowing this lawn as my own. Fun game! Struggled with controlling it. I wished the mower was a little slower. Steering was a little awkward too, I mean it is a lawn mower and those things are hard to navigate to begin with but wanted a slightly easier thing to drive. Good submission!

This is really fun and was a nice surprise seeing the text when you ran over the flowers. Game is difficult but I think that works perfectly for this. Could see myself passing plenty of time on this when I have a spare few minutes. Great entry.

Damn, I always did horribly. Nice concept and music. And it move forward too fast or move backwards too slow. I don't know xD

Overall, I like it xD

Hi there. This is great. Took a second or two to realise can only steer while moving. Good job!
