That Damn Grass
An enormous lawn.A missing wedding ring.A company that definitely saved money on equipment.
Planned for PC on Steam · Solo and up to 4-player online co-op
A co-op lawn game from Polygon Paradise Studio
Somewhere in the overgrown grounds of a mansion is a ring that needs to be found. The company has sent its budget robots to handle it. But unfortunately, you start with a nail cutter.
That Damn Grass is a co-op lawn game for 1–4 players. Get close to the grass in first person, collect what you cut and turn tiny paydays into much more capable equipment. Work alone or bring up to three friends. There is plenty of lawn to go around.
Watch the trailer.

A closer look at the lawn, the tools and the little crew taking on a much bigger job.
Your first upgrade is scissors.
Start with one blade, one click and a tool that was definitely designed for a smaller job. The equipment gets better. The lawn gives you plenty of reasons to appreciate it.
Better tools. Better paydays.
Submit collected grass for Company Credits, then choose what would make your next trip better: a more capable cutter, a bigger robot battery or more room for the grass you gather.
3Bring in a load.
4Make the job manageable.
Cut your own path.
Snip individual blades, sweep through fuller growth and work toward machines built for much bigger patches.
Make room for more.
Gather the clippings with buckets, a rake or a vacuum. Bring the right collection tools so the grass does not pile up faster than you can move it.
Bring friends. Share the questionable equipment.
One robot cuts. Another collects. Someone takes a load back while the rest keep working—or everyone picks a different patch and calls it a plan.
Same crew. Different tools. Plenty of room for things to go wrong.
Share the equipment.
Split the work.
Help each other back up.
Work in progress: The crew rides a convoy of mowers through tall green, orange and teal grass while the lawn-cleared rewards tick up. 
Work in progress: A UFO beams a robot off the lawn, crewmates go down calling for help, and then it is your turn to get knocked flat. 
Work in progress: Snipping a wall of towering grass with the nail cutter, then switching to a pistol and finding a teammate out cold on the path.
Tools are physical objects you can drop, pick up and pass around. Hand your old equipment to a friend, switch jobs or help a powerless teammate back to a charging point. The grass is not the only thing you might have to carry.
Yes, scissors count as an upgrade.
Start with a tiny nail cutter. Move on to fuller snips, smooth scythe sweeps and powered trimming, then climb onto a mower and tackle the stretches that once looked impossible.

Nail cutter
One blade at a time. Surprisingly satisfying. Wildly underqualified for the size of the lawn.
Scissors
A few more blades per snip—and a much more meaningful upgrade than you might expect.
The nail cutter is the beginning, not a life sentence. Every better tool gives you a new reason to look back at the little patch where you started.
The final industrial mower compresses collected grass into green bales and sends them into the attached trailer. The trailer you already own becomes part of a much more capable operation.
The cleanup is half the satisfaction.
A neat cut is only the start. Scoop clippings into buckets, rake scattered grass together and guide a vacuum across the mess, watching clean ground appear beneath the nozzle. Load up your transport and bring it back to the Company Station. From a handful of clippings to a much bigger delivery, every load gives your next purchase a purpose.
Find the ring. Stay for the grass.
Open paths through the mansion grounds, investigate around the pond and use a metal detector to check promising areas. A signal tells you something is nearby—not exactly where the ring is hiding.
The lawn has layers.
Different patches need different equipment. Light blades are a starting point; tougher, more valuable growth gives you something to work toward. Bring the right tool and make a better payday from the same amount of grass.

- Medium
- Thick
- Tough
- Woody
You do not have to clear the whole estate to find and return the ring. Finish the search, then keep mowing, collecting and improving your setup for as long as you feel like tackling the remaining lawn.
Watch this little job become a game.
