The Legend of the Lawns

This is a game that I worked on over the course of a year with some friends of mine, namely gldeA, Bridget Wu, and Tarin. gldeA helped me with the programming during the summer of 2025 (when the project was first started) but eventually had to step away from development, Bridget helped me with some art and Tarin made the music for me. I greatly appreciate all of them for volunteering and helping me make this game. I did a good amount of the programming and art for the game.

The game is made with GDScript in the Godot Game Engine. Overall, the experience making this game was a lot of fun, I liked coming up with new ideas and implementing the various features one by one and watching the game grow into something that I think we all can be very proud of.

The basic idea behind this game is that you are a kid that wants to get the latest game console that released (the "Swapdeck 2.0") but your parents won't get it for you. Therefore, you must earn the cash yourself by mowing your neighbor's lawn. However, the lawns are far from safe - there are enemies and hazards that you must avoid or defeat. The game turns into a bullet hell after a while so that's a lot of fun.
