Apparently, mowing the lawn is considerably more entertaining when it involves six friends and a questionable vehicle. One More Lawn has sold over 50,000 copies on Steam just two days after its release. That gives independent developer Superdou plenty to celebrate.
Developed and published by Superdou, this first-person lawn-mowing simulator arrived on Windows PC on November 12, 2026. However, its approach to gardening goes far beyond keeping a tidy backyard.
One More Lawn celebrates an impressive debut on Steam
On November 14, Superdou confirmed the sales milestone through a thank-you message published on Steam. The developer expressed disbelief at the game’s reception and thanked everyone who had supported the project.
In particular, Superdou acknowledged every gaming session, video, review and lawn shared with friends. Nevertheless, the developer recognizes that some bugs and technical imperfections still need attention.
Players can submit reports using a dedicated button on the title screen or within the pause menu. Additionally, the Steam forum and Discord provide alternative ways to report problems. Superdou reads every report and intends to address issues as quickly as possible.
This commercial milestone follows another impressive indie launch on Steam this week. Interestingly, both projects find entertainment in everyday situations that rarely sound exciting outside video games.
Every blade of grass makes a difference
Instead of modern gardening machinery, One More Lawn hands players a rather worn-out riding mower. Its driver is a grumpy elderly man with a fondness for cigarettes, cheap beer and immaculate lawns.
Even starting the vehicle requires some patience. Players must hold the ignition key until the engine finally starts. Meanwhile, a radio attached to the hood provides musical accompaniment during each assignment.
Grass is cut blade by blade, while mowing patterns reflect the player’s movements across the terrain. Furthermore, a timelapse shows the transformation of each lawn once the job is complete.
Areas inaccessible to the mower require a string trimmer. Consequently, players must dismount to tidy fences and work around garden decorations. Running out of fuel also means walking back to the gas can.
These small inconveniences give an otherwise straightforward activity some personality. Moreover, watching an untidy garden gradually transform provides a satisfying sense of progress.
One More Lawn takes players from backyards to an island
Gardening assignments become increasingly elaborate as players encounter new customers and environments. Each location introduces different requirements, obstacles and opportunities to take a break from mowing.
The available jobs and locations include:
- The player’s front yard: An opportunity to become familiar with the mower and practice creating neat patterns.
- Elvira’s garden: A demanding neighbor pays well but expects every blade of grass to measure five centimeters. Damaging anything is unacceptable, particularly her beloved garden gnome. She also provides a receipt containing comments about the completed work.
- Los Teros golf club: Rubén needs help restoring an old golf course. Its greens, fairways and tees require different cutting heights. Between jobs, players can enjoy some golf, retrieve balls from the pond or rake bunkers. Drifting across the wet parking lot is also possible.
- The wedding island: Marcela’s niece is getting married on Saturday, with 120 barefoot guests expected. Players must transport their mower across the lake aboard an old ferry and prepare the entire island. Driving into the water floods the engine, although the mower can be pushed back out. Additional distractions include a boat, fishing rod, hammock, coconuts and a beach bar.
As a result, maintaining a garden gradually becomes an adventure with room for experimentation. Apparently, protecting a garden gnome can be just as stressful as preparing an entire golf course.
Gardening with friends leaves plenty of room for chaos
Although every assignment can be completed alone, One More Lawn also features online cooperative multiplayer for up to six players. Each participant drives their own mower while working on the same property.
Friends can join through a Steam invitation or a six-digit code. In addition, proximity voice chat and individually positioned mower radios give multiplayer sessions a more social atmosphere.
Players can wave, point, dance and throw fruit at one another. Punching a friend is also possible, although it only causes dizziness rather than damage.
Much like this unusual multiplayer painting game, Superdou’s project finds humor in activities that initially appear quite ordinary.
Beyond its existing locations, One More Lawn includes a built-in map editor for creating custom lawns. Players can paint different surfaces, including grass, sand, dirt and paths. They can also dig ponds, raise hills, plant trees and install fences.
One More Lawn is available on Steam for $6.99 and supports numerous languages. A 30% launch discount reduces its price to $4.89.
Ultimately, its early success highlights the potential of simple simulation concepts with a playful multiplayer component. Keeping a lawn immaculate might be satisfying, but keeping six gardeners focused could prove considerably harder.
A Fortnite player since the very first storm: I jump off the Battle Bus with a plan (that rarely survives the landing), build faster than I think and never miss a live event on the island. Here I bring you every new season, collab and secret before the storm closes in.
