Game Review: Sunday Lawn (Mobile)

Costing the incredibly low price of 49p. Sunday Lawn is a game packed with content that puts many of the games on the mobile market to shame. Sure, it has its in-app purchases but gameplay is completely unrestricted. The content is simply to make things easier.

It’s Charlie’s job to cut the grass around his house. All while avoiding hedgehogs, dogs & other obstacles.

Swipe to make Charlie & the lawnmower move in one direction where he will only stop when he comes into with an obstacle. To complete a level, you need to cut every square of grass while earning as much points as you can. Cutting the grass in one long path will get you more points resulting in a better level rating.

The only penalisation for not making long paths of cut grass is a lower score. Not a big deal as later levels get quite complicated especially with hedgehogs & dogs running around. Should you hit one of these you’ll fail the level & need to restart or you can use a lifesaver to continue from the point you failed at. The game will gift you one of these every few hours. Though if you’re really, and I mean really impatient, you can spend some of your actual cash to buy some.

Prices start at 99p for 5 & go up to £9.99 for 100. A literal lifesaver for those who really can’t be bothered to try a level over from the start.

Sunday Lawn comes with three different modes. Challenges makes up the main bulk of the game with their being 80 levels to mow & 3 stars to earn in each.

An arcade mode is also chucked in. Where the aim is to set the highest score possible over a continuing set of levels. Finally, there is also the ‘Sweet Dreams’ bonus game. This is where you make sheep jump over fences to help Charlie sleep peacefully.

At this price & with the amount of levels available, the other two modes are a generous addition as is the in-game achievements! Incredibly good value for money & a nice surprise in regard to seeing in-app purchases that really don’t do any harm at all.
