Mower Mayhem
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Race against the clock in retro time-attack style as you Mow your way to victory!
Mower Mayhem is inspired by arcade classics built for the Sega Model 2 board. Our goal was to combine the frenetic time-attack game play of Daytona USA and the job systems from Crazy Taxi...with LAWN MOWING!

After playing the game for the very first time today, I have to say that Mower Mayhem is one of the best and most unique arcade racing games that I have seen in a very long time. The game combines the thrilling time attack gameplay of DAYTONA USA with the job system from Crazy Taxi, and sets it inside of a lawnmowing theme. It is one of those 'easy to learn but hard to master' games, especially since the two lawnmowers have different handling in contrast to one another. The game perfectly captures the authenticity of the classic SEGA Model 2 era arcade games, right down to look, feel, and thrill. If you told me that this was a rediscovered SEGA Model 2 game that never saw an official release, I would've believed you. It takes place in New Zealand, and the map design authentic to what a game from the SEGA Model 2 boards would look like. And the sountrack is excellent, it really feels like a soundtrack to an old arcade racing game. This is definitely one of the most unique arcade-style racing games I have played in a long time. I literally discovered this yesterday, and I am so glad that I did. If you love arcade racers and you love Crazy Taxi, you need to give this game a try. It's so unique, and it feels like its own game entirely. Definite 9/10 from me. Really makes me wish we had more of these arcade-style racing games.
How does this not have more attention??? This is the most unique retro-style arcade game I've seen in a long time.
Must listen to Lawnmower Deth while playing
Oh man, they'd be the perfect soundtrack for when playing as Slashley, haha
