I really like the audio in this game. Helps with the feel a lot. Also, nice colour palette and beautiful, simple UI.

If you drive fast at a certain area of the surrounding trees and time the spacebar just right, you can launch yourself into the air. The grass was entirely black for me...

Really relaxing and low poly is pretty good. But it need objectives for be attractive.

It's a..... lawnmower game! Nice graphics, but it needs something to make it more fun driving around cutting grass. Maybe enemies or something to avoid?

It's definitely got the mood and aesthetic down, but I'll also echo the lack of objectives. I think it would have been just as relaxing if it just had more patterns and an optional accuracy gauge, but I would have played it much longer.

The game is really relaxing. I did something to flip the mower and I got stuck and had to restart. I love the music and art style. If you expand upon the game, I would love to see different terrains besides the flat one like a golf field.

Very calming and relaxing, great music. I'm just wondering what it's connection to theme is. Driving + Painting?

What the... I didn't expect to enjoy this that much. From sounds to music to collars to the delightful shake on the mower, art really comes together for a very special experience. A slightly bigger playground area would be nice. I found it quite hard to control the speed and turn, often overspeeding/understeering. Might be because my machine wasn't up to spec (HiDPI, macOS, HD4000) so there was quite some latency and low frame rate. As good as it was, I found it hard to relate to the theme though. But with the pattern thing I can see a picross/puzzle game in there...
