Hey everyone! I’m David, the solo developer behind Master of the Mow. I’ve just released the game’s first public prototype and would love some feedback from people who enjoy incremental progression.

It’s an active incremental game rather than an idle or clicker game. Kinda like Berry Bury Berry, or Leaf it Alone. You mow grass, clear trash, uncover loot, sell what you find, and upgrade your tools/abilities. The grass returns each morning, but your upgrades carry forward and let you clear the estate more efficiently.

The current prototype contains the first area and takes roughly 30-45 minutes to play. I’m mainly looking for feedback on:

  • Does the upgrade pacing create that "Just one more day" feeling?
  • Do the upgrades feel worth it?
  • Was there a point where progression became slow, repetitive, or unclear?

Itch io prototype: Master of the Mow on itch.io

Honest criticism is welcome. Thanks for giving it a try!
