About Lawn Mower

Platform: NES
Developer: Shiru
Year: 2011
Genre: Action
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

Shiru's puzzle game: drive a small ride-on mower around a walled lawn and cut all the grass before the fuel runs out.

Every move burns fuel, so the route matters more than speed. Fuel cans on the lawn top up the tank, while stones and flower beds force detours.

Shiru released it on 28 May 2011 and put the game and its 6502 assembly source into the public domain, which later let others port and study it. The source can be opened in the 8bitworkshop online IDE. It is on the first Action 53 multicart, and it inspired an unofficial PC sequel, The Return of Lawn Mower.
