The gameplay of *game of grass* offers a blend of active clicking and idle mechanics, providing a casual and engaging experience for players who enjoy incremental games. However, it lacks depth and variety, with a compact skill tree and limited content leading to a sense of repetitiveness after a few hours. While the game is enjoyable and quirky, many players feel it is too short and would benefit from additional content or a lower price point.
- “Gameplay leans on a satisfying balance of active clicking and idle play.”
- “The gameplay strikes a balance between hands-on interaction and passive rewards.”
- “I walked away from the computer and let it 'cook' once or twice, but there are actually a fair amount of rewards for active play - and the gameplay is casually engaging, with the puzzle of how to most quickly cut the grass over and over again having different answers throughout the game.”
- “There’s little in the way of branching paths or deep strategy; the skill tree is compact and the primary reward for prestiging is bigger numbers rather than new features or mechanics.”
- “Once the basic upgrade paths and prestige mechanics have been explored, there is relatively little left to uncover, making the experience feel short for players accustomed to more expansive idle games.”
- “Only the first 2 hours are filled with 'gameplay'; after that, you just run it in your background so you can reach milestones to just run it further, to 'finish' the game.”
