Veggie Brawl
Welcome to the Farmers Tournament!
Step into the market, outsmart your rivals in the auction, and draft the best squad of veggies to fill your roster. Once your team is locked in, sit back and watch your produce jump into the arena and fight to the death!
May the best farmer wins!
(For the best experience, playing in full screen is recommended!)
How to Play
Veggies are about to enter the auction - press ready when you are ready to bid.
This is a Dutch Auction! the bidding starts at the max price and starts counting down (wink wink) press buy when you are ready to purchase!
First to bid gets the lot! After all 10 veggies are chosen the battle begins- watch your veggies fight to their death!
Mouse only!

3rd time won
cool concept
I didn't know the money resets on next round at first
I've found that for the most part, if you buy the first thing for just over 100 (assuming it is good) and then hit just around 150-160 on the good vegetables you can get more vegetables than the AI and take most of the good ones. I would love to see this game updated so that this strat didn't work every time and so that you can play with friends.
Oh boy, this is a tough one!
Took a number of times off camera trying to beat this, thus far I've only managed it once! I'm still not fully sure how the values interact with each other, like if speed is just for movement or also includes attack speed, but health seems to be the biggest factor in survival in the ring.Can't believe how many times these farmers have sniped my veggies at the auction. Very fun and addictive! Great work!
Fun game :) the most interesting part was figuring out the strategy. Once you got it, it's pretty straightforward to get consistent wins :)
Make a downloadable version pls
Strategy Guide
Best Units
These are units which you usually want. Depending on how far you are in the buying process, the midway value will either be lower or higher. The first round, the CPU buys at $100 every time, so buy that first round Pumpkin at $105.
Pumpkin (good damage with great health)
Red Peppers (outputs good damage)
Broccoli (balanced)
Worst Units
These are units which you would only want if you were forced to buy them at the end. Great for letting the opponent waste money on them. The first round, the CPU buys at $100 every time, so let them waste money on the first round Green Onion.
Green Onion (bad damage / health)
Carrot (bad damage / health)
Beware Speed
High speed units can charge into groups of enemies and die off to lower damage slow units that group up. Generally fine to ignore this stat. Neither good nor bad.
Your first and last buys start closer to the enemies, so they can afford to be slower than the middle buys. (But it's not that deep, just try to get some good purchases, and avoid the worst units).
Buying Guide
Below are measurements I took to better understand the buying process and price expectations. Generally as you pull ahead, the AI more aggressively buys items for more expensive prices.
The CPU always starts the first round buying at $100. If you want to unit, buy right before. If not, let the CPU waste it's money.
BASE means prices before you have bought anything.
MIDWAY means prices after you have started purchasing.
PRICES
Wow! Thank you so much for this! Super impressive!
We are working on releasing a post-jam version, and a big part of it will be updating the AI!
Stay tuned.. ;)
Great! It could use a tuneup.
If I could offer some user feedback, there are a few things I thought did not feel as good as it could have.
* The CPU buys the last item as soon as it is possible for its money. When it buys, there are $0 left. However, when I buy on the last round, I have $15-5 in my balance. If my $$$ were similar to the CPU's, the CPU will always win that last buy because it has instant reaction times.
* I found myself wishing that money carried over between rounds. Like if you have $100 leftover at the end of one round, you could keep it for the Final Four round of buying. Then the CPU (and I) could purchase stuff at value (or slightly over) instead of at 100% of the money leftover.
* Also, it would be kind of nice if there was a "Market Price" value shown for each vegetable. The only way you're going to know what other people pay is by losing a lot, but since you're playing as a farmer who would know prices of things, it might be nice to have a ballpark number for each vegetable. If not that, then maybe show values of money at points on the "Clock". Like at 6 o'clock show the price at $250 or at 9 o'clock show it is $125.
Those things would make it feel easier to improve at the game and make it less likely that I bounce off it immediately. I enjoyed the demo, thoroughly! For a jam, y'all did great!
yet to win a single game !! how is the AI so good !?
Good Game Yet it seems like every time i click the CPU buys it gets me angry
greate game, helth is overpowered metric thoe
What a fun game! I hope a multiplayer feature gets added in the future! Was able to win the tournament on my third attempt :)
such a cool mechanic!! need need need multiplayer!!
Nice game
soo good need this as a multiplayer game
Congrats my awesome friends! So well deserved! ❤️
Heck Yeah! So happy to see more people from my country win GMTK!
Huge congratulations! you made an amazing game.
(Also, love the group name 🌽)
SO GOOD
GOOD GAME!
THANK YOU! :)
very funny ，i played for morethan 5 times，and i love pumpkin
best game, played few times in a row
In my first run, I had at least 3 veggies where I clicked the buy button. Then the veggie was still given to the opponent.
nvm the ai just keeps clicking on the same exact frame I'm clicking it and winning because no reaction time. It's uncanny how often that happens. Some opponents I literally had them buy after I'd clicked, but before the game registered it, well in excess of 2/3 of the time. Probably just coincidence, but from a player experience standpoint, felt like BS.
same for m
This is by far the best jam game I’ve seen. The concept, art style, design and execution are flawless. Even if it was only the auction part it would be such a clever idea but to add the brawl was sublime!! Congrats!!
Thank you so much!
Huh! I suck at this, and I thought our game was hard 🤣very cool take on the theme
Haha yeah you need to find the best strategy to win ;) Thank you!
My god, this is so polished. Enjoyed it a lot, nice idea :)
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
