The Broccoli harvesting season is upon us, and you (BROCOMAN) :sunglasses: are the only one who can stop your broccoli friends from dying at the hands of the farmers.

  • :tomato: Use WASD to Move
  • :carrot: Use LEFT SHIFT to Run
  • :cucumber: Use LEFT CLICK to Punch your broccoli friends and throw them away from the farmers (You can't hit the farmer, you are just a brocoli after all)
  • :potato: Use RIGHT CLICK to activate your Special Ability and stop the time
  • :corn: Use Q to EXPLODE (must be charged beforehand)
  • :sweet_potato: Every 5 broccolis you punch, another 10 will grow. They just love being punched.

:eggplant: TRY TO SAVE YOUR BROCCOLI FRIENDS FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN. :eggplant:

Yo that broccoli butt is too damn sexy. This reminds me of Saints Row honestly. Funny as hell. Good job!

The graphics are amazing and I was lmao the whole time haha but PLEASE make the camera movement like any other 3D game! The fact that the up and down controls for the camera are reversed was REALLY strange.

That intro scene alone was genius, and already perfectly representing the style of this gem!

first comment sums it up VERY PRECISELY :laughing:

Things I personally didn't like:
- Inverted controls (mouse up / down)
- Motion blur (almost made me puke :sweat_smile: )

Ok, definitely the most disturbing experience of this jam 😂

Oh my gosh this is great. I don't think it's actually that much fun to play but the whole idea of it, like this #### goes hard bro. The problems I had were what people have already said, inverted controls, motion blur might not have been that bad if the player wasn't on a different Update loop than the camera, which causes this horrible jerkiness (I've usually found that as the culprit for that problem in my own games anyway). I don't feel like my actions in the game had an important effect on anything, but it's just so damn funny. Love this. Great submission.

Excellent, had a good laugh, wish you could disable motion blur and inverted camera tho

This is insane. You definitely let your creativity go wild and it paid off.

I don't know why, but I feel like the game is really addicting, I did manage to crash the game by opening the pause menu while in time stop, also I feel like the time stop come back way too fast.

What a trip! Every punch landed on those little broccolis was so satisfying and I laughed far too hard playing this game, but that inverted y axis with the mouse movement nearly gave me a nervous breakdown!

I have no idea how much you must get drunk to make a game like this but 5/5 on humor and mood! Good job! If you would like to shred some zombies in slowmo while drifting with your tractor, be sure to check out my entry :)

This is great thematically, purely as a game though it's pretty painful to play at times, especially when it feels like you've just timed it so that you stop a farmer from slicing one of your brocobros, but then they get sliced anyways :(

But the mood is fantastic :D

Nice work!

Well this was an experience I wasn't expecting. I love the humor in this and the character design was jaw dropping. I also like how the slow motion effect looked when activated. Overall this was a great entry, nice work!

This was a lot of what. Did enjoy the overall experience but am left with massive motion sickness hahahahaha

This game was a lot. Very memey, and very addictive. The UI, animation and characters are all pretty good.

God this is memetic. Control is little awcward and I had issues with FPS, but intro made my day.

Damn bro how did you get your florrets so tight? Great art, weird experience. Whilst I like punching stuff and explosions and all that the game loop was not that compelling after a while. The juice and style was spot on. Overall this submission was tight as a Brocolli's ass.

You went for a mood and I can respect that. I recently watched a speedrun of something called 'I must east sushi or I die' (not entirely sure I got the name right). The unhingedness of that strongly reminds me of this.

All the extra stuff on top does tend to get in the way of the gameplay though. (Also in the sense that my laptops couldn't really reliably handle all the effects, making it slower.)

The farmers using a katana instead of some practical farming tool was a little too unrealistic for my taste and took me out of the immersion...the game looks great though and the slow motion effect kicks ass!
