Mow the neighborhood without getting caught

The briefing

About this game

In Hover Bovver, your mower is broken, so you take your neighbor’s mower and set out to cut your lawn—and as many as 16 lawns in total—without being caught.

Navigate around flower beds while managing several hazards. Mowing a flower bed brings the gardener to reclaim the mower, while your dog can help keep the neighbor away. Be careful, though: the dog’s tolerance for the mower’s noise falls over time, and it may eventually attack the mower.
