This is a game where you control a lawn mower, here you fight with the grass. Simple touch controls allow you to control the lawnmower, you can move around the area, between trees and rocks to mow the grass and rid your backyard of those pesky weeds. Do you like the smell of freshly cut grass? Have you long dreamed of planting a lawn in the country, but you do not know how to take care of it? You don't want to pay a lawn mower for his work, because you think that mowing the grass is a pleasant activity and you want to do it yourself? You can choose from several options for lawn mowers. We have also prepared several locations for you: The first location is an empty area ready for the construction of a house. But the owners are hindered by the grass, you need to remove it. The second location - you are in the village, in the yard of old houses and of course, as happens in the village, a lot of grass. The third location is a suburb, here the houses are already better, but still, somehow, there is a lot of grass here. Write your comments on the game and suggestions for further updates.
