A Pico-8 de/re-make of my 2017 game Mow.

Tile-based game about mowing the lawn in as few moves as possible, because you really don't want to be mowing the lawn. Annoyingly, the spaces you need to mow and the width of the lawn mower don't really line up, typical!

Thanks to Terry Burdak for the great title screen.


How to play

 Arrows to move. 

Hold down Z to pivot around the mower on the spot.

X to make selections on menus. Z to open in-game menu.

Mower can't go over concrete (but the person can)

Person can't go over water (but the mower can)

If you step on or mow over flowers, it's game over and you have to start again.

Nice relaxing short game. It's pretty satisfying mowing all the grass. I was drawn in by the Jim's Mowing inspired picture.  Been living in Germany for a few years now and haven't seen old Jim in a long whiles, nice bit of nostalgia xD.
