Your mower never stops. You only steer. lawnmower. is a top-down pixel-art puzzle game about mowing the perfect lawn. Swipe to turn and cover every blade of grass, leaving crisp stripes behind you. Sounds easy, until the gas runs low, a dog wanders across the yard and the only way out is the corner you just painted yourself into. MOW ACROSS TOWN 160 lawns across eight places: the Backyard, the Neighborhood Park, the Farm, the Golf Course, the Old Cemetery Grounds at dusk, the Grand Estate, the Stadium and the Rolling Meadows. Each zone brings something new to mow around, and each ends with a big finale lawn. UPGRADE YOUR RIDE Start with an old reel mower and work up to a push mower, a self-propelled, a lawn tractor and a zero-turn. Every mower handles differently: tractors take wide turns, the zero-turn spins in place. Spend your coins on bigger tanks, tougher frames and handy tools like a bike horn to shoo the critters. THREE STARS ON EVERY LAWN Beat par, grab every coin and take on each lawn's challenge. MORE WAYS TO MOW - The Daily Lawn: one new lawn a day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak going. - Endless runs: lawn after lawn, in the rain, in the dark, in a hedge maze, or with the sheep. - Lawn Builder: make your own lawns and send them to friends. - Paints and stripe patterns for your mowers. PLAY WITH FRIENDS (OPTIONAL) Leaderboards for every mode and a weekly lawn to top. Race a friend live, or play with up to four: mow head to head, race through a hedge maze, round up sheep or play mower soccer. Send a beat-my-time challenge, or post your own lawns for everyone to play. No sign-in, no chat. CALM AND KIND No music, just the hum of the engine and the snip of the grass. No ads. Critters are only ever shooed, never harmed. Plays offline; online play is optional. FREE TO START The first 20 lawns, the Daily Lawn, Endless runs and shared lawns are free. One purchase unlocks the full game: all 160 lawns, the Lawn Tractor, the Zero-Turn and the Fairway Mower. No ads, no subscriptions.
