Mower Storms is a simple yet challenging game.
It is largely inspired by chess but we added a bit of Budgie Bird flair.

You play as the purple penguins trying to push the other penguins into the castle. However, a lawnmower storm has been brewing. Can your military power hold out?

The Itch.io link will have a better description and graphics.

Windows, Mac and Linux are supported (theoretically. I didn't have time to test mac or linux but it should work.).
An UPdated version was added on the 11th of August to fix some of the common bugs. This includes changing the gains for the audio and ficing the bug where buttons don't work as they should. I'm not sure if any of these changes are not valid for Ludum Dare but I highly recommend playing the bugfixed version as it runs much better.

Tools used:
