The wait is over
Way back on May 31, 2005, I brought to you the first ever omarphillips.net online game. Those who were not around back then would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't go read that post, or at least spend a moment playing the game. You won't be able to fully appreciate what I'm about to announce if you don't know where it has come from.
It's been over a year, but the wait is now over. I couldn't be more excited to announce the release of LawnTerror 2.0!!
While the many game improvements will be obvious to those who played version 1.0, the omarphillips.net game development team has kept one crucial element in place: the game doesn't end. However, there are measureable results, so at least you can tell if you are improving. I feel confident in saying that it doesn't get any better than this, and that's not just because the game design team all quit.
Just as before, the Flash browser plugin is required to play. If you don't have at least version 8 of the browser plugin, the game will get very frustrating very quickly, as the crosshair will not be visible. You read that right, version 2.0 has a crosshair. You can still play the game without being able to see the crosshair, but good luck playing it well. (Try it first, and if you see no cursor when you're trying to play, then you probably need to update.)

They just keep coming. I long to see Level 100.

I want:
(1) different weapons i.e. weed whacker and/or shotgun, and
(2) shrieking sounds.
(nice work!)

Assuming Adam's screenshot isn't doctored, it's safe to say that he's the winner.

ROFL! THAT is the coolest game ever! You think you could come up with a "Stomp the ant" game for me to play? I'd really enjoy that.
MEP said:
Whew, that was fun! But it's hard to play with a laptop and touchpad. I'll have to play tomorrow at work with a mouse. I mean -- I'll have to play before or after work, when I have a mouse. . . .

As a constant winner at lawn terror 1.0, this brought back a lot of fond memories. However, I am shamed to see that my advancement to level 10 with only a pathetic 74% accuracy rating is far from admirable. I will practice through the night until I am a member of the elite class. It is my duty as a gamer. I’d say the overall improvements are nice. The advanced graphics and gaming interface are all around top notch. I would easily recommend this game to my friends.

Is it uncommon to scream, “Son of a B*TCH!!” when they get by you? I’m doing that a lot…
This is all I had in me before the carpal tunnel kicked in…
601 hits 79% level 16…

oh this SUCKS. i'm not going to get really play till the dungeon and i realized i'm training someone, so i won't get to really play for several days. i'm so jealous.
I said:
601 hits? That's dedication.
I think that in version 2.5, I'm going to include some blood. Good suggestions on new weapons, though.
Look for those changes by summer 2008. Summer in the northern hemisphere, that is.

my trial run was great. only a few got past me. and such satisfaction when you get both the fat, juicy ones and the teeny ones with the banners.
omar, you've truly outdone yourself. I went through 3 boxes of band aids playing this for about 4 minutes.
and so agreeing with RaJ. more weapons, more sounds, more insulting banners.

Finally! I was in the forums every day reading up on all the rumors... They kept pushing back the release date. Well it was worth the wait! I made it to level 4 without a single miss-- Then the excrement hit the air conditioner!
Sarah said:
FUN!
Lia said:
Truly addictive, which is why I stopped at about 150. But I only missed one, so I'm very proud.
Cate said:
Ouch! Too cutting edge for me, dude. Too cutting edge.

Me likey!
Radioactive Hairs said:
Wow. When I gave up I had almost six hundred, 89% at level 14. And all I could think was yep, I suck at this.
From which one might conclude I do very much need a life.
I said:
The underlying message here, is that the voles will win. You can kill 600+ of them, yet they just keep coming. And some of them carry "U SUCK" signs.
Welcome to my life, folks.
Nadia said:
I trumped Jon, woo. 92% accuracy at Level 10. I DO rule! Somewhat! Thank you, Omar; I see the light now.
sthomas said:
Very addicting... My first time out wasn't as good as Mr. Backstrom's, but I think did OK.

I said:
I just witnessed level 18 - 704 hits (83%).
I expect to get a kickback from any hand surgeon that benefits from LawnTerror 2.
Justin said:
I wasnt sure if there was an end, so I kept playing
at 500+ hits i decided it was time to stop
I stopped at 516 hits, 43 misses, level 13 I had 100% accuracy till level 11
Justin said:
you need a "Preview" button so I can make sure my HTML is one with the force before I post into the permanentness of the internets
Jon said:
I have a wireless mouse... I think that's what's really holding me back...
