About Plants Vs Zombies

The title makes things pretty clear about what you're in for, but it doesn't always indicate what kind of experience you can expect. This game is a one-side tower defense kind of game with your house and garden on one side and the zombies trying to get in. It's all about picking a nive mixture of plants to cover as much ground as possible have strong defensive coverage. The zombies are also going to find ways to get around your defenses which is why you need to be ready to excavate plots and move plants around, so flex your repent thumbs.

How to Play

Plants Vs Zombies is a 2D side-scroller tower defense game about protecting your house from zombies using plants and the mouse. To select plants, move your cursor over to them, click the Left Mouse Button, and then move them to an open plot of land. Most plants require sunlight to to be planted which you can collect by moving the mouse over it. The goal of each level is to defeat all the waves of zombies.

When the level begins, you'll have a set plot of land to use. You'll start with limited plants but will get more as you complete levels. Sunlight will fall periodically from the sky and certain plants can generate sunlight which you'll need to collect. The plants and your sunlight amount are shown in the top left corner with how much sun they need under their picture. If you have enough, you can plant it but they'll each have a bit of cooldown before you can plant them again.

Zombies will approach from the left side of the screen. When they encounter a plant, zombies will eat it until they're defeated or the plant is eaten. If even one zombie makes it to the front of your house, it's game over. As time goes on, zombies will get tougher, wearing armor, wielding weapons, and even having different movement to get around your plants. Different plants can counter different kinds of zombies.

Tips and Tricks

As you earn more plants, you'll be able to create a varied mix that covers both offense and defense effectively. You should always have a plant that generates sun on your side and at least one defensive plant. Zombies can be packed together so always turn your attention to the fastest or biggest threats.
