Gameplay

Avoid things. Touch things. Hearts heal. Mowing grass builds your Bonus, up to Maximum Bonus. Not-mowing ends the chain, and your Bonus is added to your Score. Try to get the highest score you can, and then approach the door to ring the bell.

Tech (for advanced players)

The  following techniques can be difficult and risky to perform, but success can bring greater reward.

1) Hoppin': mowing one or more islands. An island is a grass tile that does not have another uncut grass tile to its immediate north, south, east, or west. This technique boosts Bonus faster.

2) Jinxin': mowing within 1 tile vertically, or 2 tiles horizontally, of a Shadow Creature. This technique boosts Bonus faster.

3) Snatchin': touching a trident while your Bonus is at least 500. This technique recovers 10 HP and increases your Maximum Bonus by 1000.

Notes

The game loop can be ended (won) by walking up to the door at the top of the screen. Be careful of the timing; monsters like to barge in and attack you. Once you ring the bell, monsters will no longer come through the door, and the area is cleared of harmful things. This is how you "cash in" your score in competitive play. Without that ringa-ding-ding, your score don't ka-ching.
