Любая игра нуждается в некоторых хитростях и подсказках, чтобы помочь игрокам быстро преодолеть трудности в ней, как и в Plants vs Zombies.

Советы, чтобы играть в лучшие растения против зомби

Но теперь эта игра имеет 5 различных версий этой игры, но оригинал (оригинал) остается любимым и выбрать для установки , чтобы играть больше всего. Вы можете обратиться к содержанию и установке для всех операционных систем версий 5 Plants vs Zombies в статье « Обзор игры Plants vs Zombies ».

1. План разумных подсолнухов

Подсолнухи являются ключом к этой игре. Без разумного, точного и соответствующего плана у вас не будет достаточно «денег», чтобы делать покупки и преодолевать все трудности, с которыми сталкивается игра. Уже с первых нескольких уроков познакомьтесь с тем, как выращивать подсолнухи.

советы:

Используйте два последних ряда травы, ближайших к входной двери, чтобы вырастить цветы. Тогда купите и используйте Peashooter — растение, способное стрелять дальше, чем в 3 ящика с травой, чтобы защитить цветок и атаковать вторгающихся зомби. Этот метод будет отлично работать на первых этапах, у вас будет много времени и выработка стратегии, подходящей для этого способа.

2. Нужно знать, с каким врагом столкнуться?

Как известно, Plants vs Zombies — одна из самых разнообразных и разнообразных классов персонажей. От растений, зомби, для поддержки растений … если вы не знаете, понимаете их все, вы не сможете использовать это хорошо или даже не знаете, с каким противником вы сталкиваетесь? А какое у нас «оружие»?

советы:

Перед каждым игровым экраном нам разрешается «перечислять» врагов, из которых можно выбрать для себя наиболее подходящего и подходящего противника. Еще одна важная вещь, которую нам нужно помнить, это то, что в этой игре присутствуют особые зомби и растения. Этот зомби может быть убит или заблокирован только одним растением (зомби-банджи, сбрасывающий веревку сверху). Или дерево работает только с одним типом зомби (Umbrella Leaf), посаженным с помощью другого инструмента (например, Hypno Shroom, Cattail …).

3. Не забывайте словарь альманаха в игре

На каждом новом уровне нам придется сталкиваться с новым типом нежити, и они будут автоматически добавляться в словарь альманаха. Каждый тип зомби имеет разные уровни атаки, не забывайте, что вы использовали для его уничтожения, или вы можете посмотреть в словаре, чтобы найти способ.

советы:

Альманах расскажет вам о характеристиках, характеристиках и способах уничтожения зомби, с которыми вы столкнулись, чтобы выбрать наиболее подходящее растение.

4. «Гений» Йети

Yeti — одна из самых особенных игр Zombie of Plants против Zombies. Это не часто, непрерывно, но только когда участник входит в режим Приключения и проходит уровень 3. Причиной для вызова Йети является «гений», потому что каждый раз, побеждая этого зомби, игрок будет получать иглу Бриллианты чрезвычайно ценны. Однако встретить или уничтожить их нелегко.

советы:

• Йети-зомби появляются редко, а когда они появляются, только на очень короткое время. Игроки должны быстро воспользоваться такой помощью, как «Вишневая бомба» или «Халапеньо», чтобы победить Йети, прежде чем он убежит.
• Не пытайтесь использовать обычные растения, так как для нанесения вреда требуется 23 выстрела и 46 выстрелов.

5. Посадка деревьев в саду

В этой игре у игроков будет личное пространство для выращивания деревьев, выращивания и зарабатывания на этих деревьях. Вы можете выращивать здесь все: от наступательных и оборонительных растений до специальных растений, таких как Whack a Zombie.

6. «Last Stand» — самый быстрый режим игры «разбогатей»

«Безлимитный» — это еще один способ описания этого игрового режима. Участвуя в «Последней битве», игроки могут быстро заработать большие суммы денег от выращивания календулы и золотого магнита. В частности, нам не нужно заботиться о том, чтобы иметь возможность разыгрывать все карты или нет, потому что деньги выпадут и будут «привлечены» Золотым Магнитом во время игры.

7. Измените время для более быстрого урожая

Изменение времени — игровой прием, который применяется к большинству игр в реальном времени, таких как Candy, Asphalt … А с Plants vs Zombies мы также можем использовать этот прием для изменения времени на устройстве. оборудование, помогающее быстрее собирать урожай в саду.

Однако это работает только в том случае, если вы регулярно удобряете и поливаете растения, и совет заключается в том, что вы должны использовать его только тогда, когда в магазине Crazy Dave продается все, что вам нужно.

8. Используйте специальные деревья со специальными зомби

Как уже упоминалось выше, в PvZ любая версия имеет специальные символы с уникальными функциями. И, в частности, в этой первой версии у нас есть режим игры на крыше, где появятся Bungee Zombies. В отличие от своих «друзей», этот зомби не ходит по земле и не ныряет под воду, а падает с неба … вниз.

Они выберут свою цель (кусочки бумаги с рисунком из розового дерева), затем появятся очень быстро и «держат» отмеченный горшок.

советы:

• Umbrella Leaf — это специальное растение, которое может увеличивать размеры и автоматически накрывать полог. Это лучшее и наиболее специализированное оружие против зомби-банджи.
• На любом столе в этом режиме игрокам нужно только сажать от 3 до 4 Листьев Зонтика, чтобы полностью покрыть и защитить свои горшки (потому что каждое дерево Листа Зонтика имеет способность защищать площадь 3х3 клетки вокруг него).

9. Использование Cattail в экранах бассейнов:

Можно сказать, что Cattail является самой дорогой и самой мощной культурой в этой версии игры Plants vs Zombies. В отличие от других растений, Cattail обладает способностью наносить большой урон и автоматически стрелять по зомби на разных дорожках, а количество выстрелов «пуль» также много, быстрое и непрерывное.

советы:

• Плавательный бассейн всегда самый раздражающий игровой режим, потому что он ограничивает игрока, который может напрямую сажать другие растения. И не только с Cattail, любым видом использования, положите его на воду, вам также сначала понадобится Lily Pad (как лист лотоса).
• С помощью всего лишь нескольких деревьев Рогоза вы можете легко пройти все уровни этого игрового режима.

Это простые, но чрезвычайно практичные советы для тех, кто все еще заботится об этой привлекательной стратегической игре. Кроме того, Download.com.vn также использовал вас, чтобы подробно рассказать, как преодолеть каждый игровой экран Plants vs Zombies, первая версия, в которой вы можете увидеть предложение.

Желаю вам веселых развлечений!

Сюжет

Сюжет игры начинается с момента, когда дом Безумного Дейва подвергается атаке полчищ зомби. Поскольку Дейв, как и говорит его имя, абсолютно безумен, он не находит ничего лучше, чем использовать для защиты дома растения. Однако управлять рассадой будете вы — игрок. Ваша задача — высаживать на лужайке Дейва различные виды боевых растений и грибов, от острого и горящего перца до взрывающихся вишен или плюющихся кактусов, которые станут последней линией защиты от волн атак живых трупов.

Игровой процесс

Без всяких сомнений, сутью и главной фишкой этой игры является основная однопользовательская кампания. Именно она во многом способствовала успеху Plants vs Zombies. И инновационный, даже по сегодняшним меркам геймплей, во многом развил идеи классического жанра Tower Defense, в котором задача игрока — защищать определенное место от наступления противников. По мере прохождения игры количество противников значительно увеличивается, как и их сила, и устойчивость к повреждениям, что значительно увеличивает степень сложности.

Игрокам предстоит преодолеть до пятидесяти уровней. Они вроде бы отличаются друг от друга, но игровой механизм от начала до конца абсолютно идентичен. На экране мы видим лужайку (камера реализована в изометрической проекции), улицу и дом. Задача игрока заключается в правильном развертывании или «посадке» растений — защитных турелей, живых стен и различных ловушек, которые остановят продвижение. Арсенал доступного «оружия» чрезвычайно широк — он насчитывает около пятидесяти наименований.

В игре доступны различные типы растений с уникальными способностями и характеристиками, которые вы должны использовать, чтобы максимизировать их наступательный и защитный потенциал. Например, некоторые растения лучше всего функционируют ночью (грибы), а другие могут снимать броню с атакующих зомби.

Как следует из названия, единственный тип врагов — это масса нежити, жаждущая человеческой крови. Их невероятное разнообразие — одно из самых больших преимуществ игры. В PvsZ ровно двадцать шесть типов врагов. Подавляющее большинство из них обладают особыми навыками, которые направлены на преодоление отдельных видов вашей защиты. Поэтому вы должны расположить растения таким образом, чтобы можно было в любой момент внести тактическое изменение, если на поле вдруг появится новый тип врага.

Со временем вы также сможете улучшать способности отдельных растений, тем самым повышая их эффективность. Атакующие зомби также имеют различные характеристики (скорость, устойчивость к повреждениям и т.д.), что в сочетании с уникальными способностями отдельных растений делает игровой процесс в Plants vs Zombies очень разнообразным и тактическим. Стоит отдать разработчикам должное: разнообразие как растений, так и зомби в игре, действительно впечатляет.

Противники будут вооружены самыми разнообразными видами оружиями, обычно представляющими собой различный хлам, подобранный на улице, вроде железного ведра, конуса на голове или оторванной двери. Наконец, в финале вас будет ждать босс — огромный массивный робот, победа над которым станет кульминационным моментом всей игры. Выполняя каждую миссию, вы открываете новое растение, а вместе с этим появляются и новые типы врагов, так что наскучить игра вам не успеет.

Управление

PopCap Games создала очень удобную и интуитивно понятную систему управления. Игра отлично оптимизирована и адаптирована под смартфоны и планшеты, а управление на них ни чуть не менее удобно, чем с помощью мышки и клавиатуры. Чтобы посадить растение в интересующем вас месте, просто прикоснитесь кончиком пальца к сенсорному экрану. И все, больше ничего не нужно. Противники движутся самопроизвольно, поэтому вы никак не можете мешать их движению. Но помните, чтобы эффективно защитить вашу собственность, необходимо правильно и внимательно расставлять растения на доске и выбирать правильную тактику.

Дополнительные режимы и другие фишки

В Plants vs Zombies имеется несколько типов игровой валюты — первоначально это только солнце, которое время от времени падает с неба или производится подсолнухами в солнечные дни, а когда солнце уходит за горизонт — ночными грибами. Солнце необходимо для покупки растений и играет ключевую роль на протяжении всей игры. Нужно тщательно следить за тем, чтобы у вас в наличии всегда был запас солнечной энергии, иначе вы быстро будете разбиты и сожраны.

Со временем в игре появляется магазин, в котором можно купить различные улучшения или новое место на лужайке. Для этого магазина вам потребуются золотые, серебряные и бронзовые монеты, а также кристаллы, которые случайным образом выпадают из зомби, а также появляются в качестве поощрения по окончанию раунда. С их помощью вы сможете значительно увеличить свою огневую мощь, а некоторые уровни без таких улучшений пройти будет вообще практически невозможно.

Помимо стандартных сражений, в игре есть несколько дополнительных режимов. Среди прочего, можно поиграть в боулинг или вышибалу с зомби, причем эти дополнительные элементы никоим образом не навязываются в основной игре, это всего лишь бонусные мини-игры, которые вносят дополнительное разнообразие. Длительность же основной кампании занимает около 7 часов, и за это время игра ни разу не успевает наскучить. Также, вы можете поиграть в многопользовательском режиме или в режиме приключений, где будете получать больше монеток, которые можно потратить в игровом магазине.

Графика и звук

Аудиовизуальная сторона Plants vs Zombies, как и вся остальная игра, поддерживается на самом высоком уровне. Графика в Plants vs Zombies очень яркая и запоминающаяся. Спрайты персонажей выполнены с любовью и выглядят не страшно, как вы ожидаете от зомби, а очаровательно. Растения тоже очень милы и радуют глаз. Вскрики Безумного Дейва и мычание зомби во время «осады», останутся в вашей памяти надолго, а карикатурные и забавные зомби каждый раз заставляют рот расплыться в улыбке.

Особенности Plants vs Zombies

• Множество различных уровней и режимов. Пройдите 50 различных уровней, сложность каждого из которых возрастает по мере прохождения. Вы можете играть ночью или днем, ​​в дождь или сильный туман. А если вы готовы принять вызов и продемонстрировать свои умения, попробуйте поиграть в режиме выживания и узнайте, как долго вы сможете продержаться.
• Не дайте одурачить себя слабым и глупым зомби, которых вы встретите в начале игры. Эти зеленые пожиратели мозгов становятся умнее, хитрее, крепче и опаснее с каждым новым уровнем. Всего в игре 26 разных видов зомби, каждый со своими навыками и слабостями. Поэтому, сажая растения, которые съедают или останавливают зомби, например Стенорех или Кабачок, имейте в виду, что многие зомби достаточно умны, чтобы не лезть в ловушку. Они будут бегать, прыгать, плавать и танцевать, уворачиваясь от ваших растений или спокойно перемахивая через них по воздуху.
• Большое количество дополнительных улучшений. Всего в игре имеется 49 улучшений, увеличивающих вашу боевую мощь. Зарабатывать их вы будете по мере прохождения уровней, хотя можете и просто купить за монеты.
• Различные трофеи и экстра-контент. Plants vs Zombies славится не только занимательным игровым процессом, но и множеством дополнительного контента, включающего в себя разнообразные трофеи и награды за достижения, бонусные уровни и многое другое.

Другие игры серии

Серия Plants vs Zombies насчитывает более шести официальных игр, однако только три из них доступны на мобильных платформах. Помимо оригинальной игры, вы можете бесплатно скачать из Play Store прямое продолжение «Plants vs Zombies 2: It’s About Time», в котором получите еще больше новых уровней, улучшений, растений и противников, но игра при этом полностью сохранит оригинальную механику.

А также карточный спин-офф эксклюзивно для мобильных устройств «Plants vs. Zombies Heroes», в котором вас ожидает совершенно новая игровая механика, основанная на коллекционировании карточек с персонажами, каждый из которых обладает уникальными характеристиками. Как и основные игры серии, PvZ Heroes распространяется совершенно бесплатно.

What This Guide Does
========================================
[1WTGD]

This FAQ is not a walkthrough nor is it intended as a general game guide. For
an excellent general guide, please see curby’s FAQ/walkthrough on
gameFAQs.com:
www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/959255/565..

This guide deals specifically with one of the final challenges in the game:
Survival: Endless. This challenge is unlocked after completing all other
Survival games (and beating the adventure mode). The purpose is quite simple:
survive for as many flags as possible during a never-ending onslaught of
zombies. It is set on the «pool» level during the day, and almost every
zombie in the game may attack at some point (including normally roof-specific
and night-specific zombies). It is incredibly challenging and can take hours
to play.

This guide has been heavily influenced by curby’s guide and it should be noted
that all credit for the core strategy goes to that guide. curby’s strategy of
using garlic to steer zombies into multiple gloom-shrooms is what inspired me
to create this guide and expand upon these strategies for the special
considerations that happen in Survival: Endless.

Note that this guide will not talk about the basics of the game. It assumes
you have completed the game’s adventure mode, unlocked Survival: Endless, and
purchased all possible plants and seed slots from the game’s store.

========================================
The Theory
========================================
[2THRY]

When it comes to Survival: Endless, many of the well-crafted strategies
presented in curby’s excellent walkthrough just don’t hold up over 20+ flags.
Part of the problem is that just about any kind of zombie can attack (I’ve
even seen yeti zombies), especially bungee zombies, and part of the problem is
that the massive number of gargantuars — and thusly, imps — eventually becomes
a tremendous problem.

Overall, the main strategy theory — which could be called «funnel zombies into
gloom-shroom kill zones with garlic» — is still very sound, thanks to the
area-of-effect and rapid-fire nature of gloom-shrooms and how useful they are
against groups. Add to this the «spikerock row» and using winter melons for
slowing and splash damage and cob cannon to cover everything else, and you
have a very solid base strategy. However, a few new ideas need to be added to
tackle the long-term problems of Survival: Endless.

Basic Principles:
— 6 gloom-shrooms. This is a core part of curby’s strategy and it is here as
well.
— 6 winter melons. These are simply too powerful to use less than 1 per row;
their slowing effect is absolutely critical to survival, even on rows where
garlic is quickly moving zombies to other rows.
— 6 cob cannon. This is really the minimum number needed for a long term
strategy; in later stages, even this won’t be enough, but the space
requirements really preclude any additional cannon.
— 6 magnet-shrooms. You need at least this many: three for the northern two
strips of land and three for the southern two. More would be better, but
space limitations are just too great. (*See below for a way to get more.)
— 6 twinned sunflowers. Six should be running at all times, but again this is
riding the ragged edge: more sunflowers for a longer period of time is
better, so filling in gaps earlier with extra sunflowers helps, even if they
are to be replaced later. Building up a bank of several thousand sun helps
buffer against very bad levels where lots of plants will be destroyed.
— 6 spikerocks. This causes the overall expense to go up, but four are needed
to help stop vehicles and slow gargantuars AND you’ll want one more in each
«kill zone» to help kill zombies faster — and as a bit of insurance for the
most important land rows you have: the ones with your offensive units. If
these rows are breached, it becomes much more difficult to recover, so the
secondary spikerocks are there for extra protection.
— 4 umbrella leaves, 2 empty spaces. No strategy would be well-suited without
taking in some of the slightly rarer but extremely problematic zombies, such
as bungees and flyers. In my own experiments, I have come to the conclusion
that 4 well-placed umbrella plants covering 2/3rds of the field along with an
«emergency umbrella» system generally gives the best possible protection for
the space available. Additionally, leaving at least 2 spaces open on the
field not only allows for quick blover placement (and jalapenos/cherry bombs),
but it also gives you just a little more time to react before your defenses
are compromised. You don’t want to leave much more space than this, however —
you need the plants!

*One trick that can really help on some levels — but costs a decent amount of
sun and seed space — is to swap out two magnet-shrooms for the front line of
umbrella leaves, and vice-versa. Essentially, when you know no bungee zombies
are coming, rebuild magnets; when bungees visit again, replace them with
umbrellas. This can really help on levels with no bungees but that have both
football zombies AND diggers. However, again the cost associated with this is
high, and it can leave you vulnerable.

However, the main difference between this strategy and previous versions is
the placement of flowers. Most specifically, during late-game flags the imp
is actually the most dangerous zombie of them all: its ability to attack
rear-guard plants and destroy them so quickly means that all land-based rows
are extremely vulnerable. So how do we counter this threat? Move the bulk of
our offensive power to the pool. Since cob cannon in particular are one of
the only plants it is impossible to guard with pumpkins, getting them away
from the paths of the imps is absolutely essential. Granted, this leaves some
of our production and threat-reduction plants more exposed, but these are
cheaper and faster to replace, and without a powerful offense clearing the
way, it really isn’t possible to rebuild. Clearing zombies is the most
critical task.

There are a few other key placement differences as well. First, while digger
zombies pose a high threat, they are still slower and easier to defeat than
imps. This means that the first (leftmost) row is actually safer than the
second and third rows. It also means that since imps are so dangerous and
since they can come so quickly, unless you have an attacking plant on the
first row, you are more vulnerable. Thus, winter melons are moved to the
rear, or left-most rows (except for pool lanes).

Here is a general summary of these points along with the basic strategy from
curby’s original FAQ.

Basic assumptions:
— all plants unlocked/purchased; ten seed slots available; rake purchased
— garlic directs zombies into gloom-shroom «kill zones»
— spikerock row gives the best first defense possible
— pumpkins protect all possible plants (except garlic, spikerock, and cannon)
— winter melons on each row
— minimum of 6 cob cannon, twinflowers, and magnets
— need umbrella leaf defenses built into the strategy

Key differences from previous strategy:
— winter melons on back rows (on land) make them vulnerable to miners but they
help so much against imps it’s worth it
— move as many critical plants into the pool as possible to avoid imps
— twin flowers, while bad to lose, are still not as critical as offensive
plants
— extra sunflowers early help build a decent sun bank that can be used on bad
levels

========================================
The Setup
========================================
[3STUP]

The following is a step-by-step setup of how to go about setting up the best
defense. It is organized into «phases» or «levels», which correspond to the
period of time between which you can select new plants. Each phase covers 2
flags at first, then later 3, and so on. It is recommended to read through
the entire plan before starting.

=======
Phase 1
=======
[3PHS1]

Initially, pick the following flowers: sunflower, garlic, pumpkin, lily pad,
coffee bean, puff-shroom, gloom-shroom, kernel-pult, spikeweed, and finally,
potato mine. Be sure you have purchased a rake.

Your goal for the first «level» (this involves several flags or waves) is to
make sure you get several tasks done and plant all you need of certain plants
so you won’t have to select them again. Seed selection becomes the most
important part of the game, so starting early and getting things out of the
way is important. By the end of this level, you shouldn’t need to select the
sunflower, lily pad, puff-shroom, or gloom-shroom again. Also worth noting:
potato mines are the absolute best single-kill plants at the beginning of the
game due to their low cost. However, once you get past the first few zombies,
you’ll never use them again.

I have borrowed curby’s map design and symbols because they are excellent.
Here is a picture of the final look of your yard by the time you can choose
seeds again:

S S S S . . [.] g + Symbol Legend

S S c o o [G][G] _ _ S sunflower + spikeweed
S S c c S [G] + . + c kernel-pult o lily pad
S S S S . . [.] g + [ ] pumpkin

Notes:
— Start with sunflowers on land, garlic in rows 1 and 6, and kernel-pults in
rows 2 and 5. Use the rake off the bat and potato mine any cone-wearing
zombies to help get your economy (sunflowers) off the ground. You should have
a full 8 sunflowers on land as fast as possible. Save the water sunflowers
for last.
— Once you get that far, move to gloom-shrooms on the land rows. Be sure to
pumpkin first, then puff-shroom. Throw a kernel-pult or two in the pool to
counter pool zombies as soon as you can, but once you get the first two gloom-
shrooms going and they are backed up by kernel-pults, you shouldn’t have a
problem with anyone getting through.
— Continue to place gloom-shrooms as quickly as the upgrade seed recharges.
In the mean time, build a few more sunflowers and kernel-pults, and be sure
you are laying down pumpkins as fast as they recharge as well. Once you start
getting enough sun to cover everything, put spikeweed down in your «kill» zone
to help protect your gloom-shroom there, and then create the first spikeweed
row on the far column.
— You should make it easily to this point without losing any plants or
mower/cleaners. If you lose any of those, go ahead and start over.
— If you find yourself with plenty of sun left over, go ahead and finish
placing kernel-pults and pumpkins from the next phase. Extra sunflowers never
hurt, either: as long as you collect 3 sun from a sunflower, it was worth
your time.

=======
Phase 2
=======
[3PHS2]

Pick twinflower, garlic, pumpkin, coffee bean, magnet-shroom, kernel-pult (if
necessary), melon-pult, spikerock, and jalapeno. For your last slot, you can
grab squash, or you may want to pick up lily pad, sunflower, or anything else
you still need from phase 1. Alternately, you can skip ahead and grab winter
melon.

Your goal for this level is to upgrade your defenses significantly while
boosting your sun production a tremendous amount. After this level, you
shouldn’t need coffee beans or magnet shrooms (for a while).

Notes:
— You probably didn’t need to replace your garlic in the first phase; get
ready to keep a constant eye on it from now on.
— Pumpkin placement becomes important as you want to make sure no zombies get
past your front line.
— Start with magnet-shrooms and get them up as quickly as possible. Place a
twinflower and spikerock immediately and then you’ll pretty much spend the
entire rest of the level waiting for those two to recharge so you can have 6
total of each.
— Melon-pults will help finalize the pool defense, but they can wait until
other goals are accomplished.
— Squash are a decent, relatively quickly charging one-shot defense.
Jalapenos are much better but are more expensive and take longer to recharge.
Pick your favorite.
— The sunflowers marked with an * are ones you can try to twin if you get a
chance, but it’s not a big deal.

=======
Phase 3
=======
[3PHS3]

Pick garlic, pumpkin, melon-pult, winter melon, kernel-pult, cob cannon,
imitater->pumpkin, jalapeno, and either pick two things you didn’t finish
before OR load up on cherry bomb and squash. Alternately, you can bring
twinflower again and go for a couple of the sunflowers on the pool.

This level is going to be expensive, but you should have the sun to back it
up. After this level you shouldn’t need melons or winter melons again.

Notes:
— Start by winter-meloning your existing melon-pults and then hit another one
each time it recharges. Dig up the back sunflowers and put winter melons
there as well.
— Pumpkin EVERYTHING! Use the imitater->pumpkin** to help you get the back
rows while you use the regular pumpkin to replace defenses. Go ahead and hit
the twinflowers on the top and bottom rows if you get a chance. Don’t neglect
your garlic — the magnets are counting on you!
— Try to save up for cob cannon — you should be able to get two at least. If
you have enough sun, go ahead and hit the other two pairs of kernel-pults.
— If you think it will be cost effective, go ahead and twin the * sunflowers.
Just note that you’ll be digging these up part of the way through the next
phase, so don’t push it. If you can replace them early then it’s probably
still worth it; if the level is about to end it’s probably not.

** Note about the imitater: while the versatility of this plant is amazing,
it sadly has about a half-second delay in deploy time: making it juuuust
barely useless for instants and other plants you need to lay down while
zombies are attacking. It’d be GREAT as a backup cherry bomb; sadly, it will
die before it can explode unless nothing is near it. This, plus the fact that
it cannot duplicate other purchased plants, makes it best used for adding to
defenses.

=======
Phase 4
=======
[3PHS4]

Pick garlic, pumpkin, umbrella leaf, kernel-pult, cob cannon, spikeroot,
spikerock, imitater->pumpkin, jalapeno, and another instant like cherry bomb.
Or, something you left out before, or a blover if balloon zombies are present.

Finally, phase 4, where we see our hard plans come to fruition. This is the
final step in the base strategy. At this point you should have an obscene
amount of sun saved up. Also, since we passed 10 flags, bungee zombies and
loads of vehicles should start coming into the picture. At this point the
types of zombies you face each level is fairly random, but there are a few
more defenses we need to set up first.

Notes:
— Go ahead and pluck those sunflowers and plant umbrellas. That will cover
2/3rds of the field, and your remaining pieces of land are now your «special»
spots. If you see a bungee zombie targeting anything in the last three
columns, quickly throw an umbrella plant into the appropriate spot to cover it
(it will get eaten immediately but that’s ok). If they target something both
above and below: well, I’m sorry. It’s not a perfect defense.
— Once you have 4 cob cannon, start digging up the remaining sunflowers in the
pool lanes and replacing them with kernel-pults and then cob cannon as well.
Try to wait until the cob cannon has recharged and you have enough sun before
you dig up the sunflowers: the idea is to squeeze as much sun out of them as
possible before they go.

=======
Phase 5
=======
[3PHS5]

Generally, you’ll want:
— garlic, pumpkin, spikeweed, spikerock, jalapeno (all levels)
— imitater->pumpkin, cherry bomb (when you have room)
— umbrella leaf, blover (when facing bungee and balloon zombies, respectively)
— coffee bean, magnet (as necessary; good to take if you have the room and are
facing gargantuars or zombonis as they will likely get a magnet or two)
— kernel-pult, cob cannon (when imps kill your row 2 and 5 cannon)
— whatever else gets killed

At this point, the game is about damage control and wise cob cannon usage (and
to some extent, luck of the draw based on which zombies are attacking each
phase). Your twinflowers are at the top and bottom of the screen (helpful so
you don’t accidentally click a cob cannon and launch it), and they will keep
you afloat — but hopefully you have several thousand sun banked up, because
you’ll need it. (Just wait until you randomly get two gargantuars and a
zomboni on the same level! WHEE!) This almost goes without saying but ALWAYS
go for sun over collecting coins — however, the maximum amount of sun you can
collect is 9990, so once you get that far, just watch your defenses. Keep
your spikerocks as healthy as possible. Eventually, the game will become all
about the spikerock recharge timer, as you’ll be blowing through them
incredibly fast. Try to use cob cannon to ease their load when you can, but
save up enough blasts to both fend off imps, the occasional digger that still
gets through, and kill gargantuars. Ideally, if you fire two cob cannon in
rapid succession at a gargantuar, it won’t get to throw its imp — but zombies
never make things easy. Sometimes you’ll miss, and sometimes you’ll barely
get another gargantuar in the second blast, causing him to throw. Just accept
that it will happen and try to defend as best you can. Jalapenos help a great
deal since they can take out imps and hit things still coming — although they
work best on your «special» spots on rows 2 and 5 — but don’t be shy about
digging up a garlic and using one there if you can do it quickly enough.
Also, don’t be afraid to dig up an umbrella plant and throw a cherry bomb down
if you need to — those are cheap to replace, and if you need one you probably
brought them on this level.

Keep an eye on your pumpkins and on your garlic, especially the pumpkins on
the magnets just behind the garlic. Later levels with dozens of pole-vaulters
or dolphin zombies are merciless on your 2nd-line pumpkins; keep them as
healthy as possible, too. Keep blovers handy for flyers, but note that you
can often wait until the last moment and catch two waves of flyers at the same
time. The nice thing is that you can plant it anywhere and it will clear the
whole field.

============
Final Phases
============
[3FINL]

Once you get past about the 30th flag, the game becomes less about strategy
and more about reflexes. Feel free to pause (space bar) as often as you can
and take a quick look around: see what’s coming, see where your recharge
timers are, and see if anything is conspicuously missing from your lines.
It’s also a matter of how much sun you can throw at a problem: storing up to
9990 sun early isn’t a bad idea, because you will easily use all of it and
still die with no sun left. Try to be more conservative with how you spend
after this point: you are going to run out soon.

Zombonis and gargantuars are your worst nightmares; eventually the spikerock
timer just won’t be able to keep up with them and you’ll be using every trick
you have just to keep them at bay. Fortunately, this strategy does a pretty
decent job at fighting while losing; you can often keep the zombies off for a
good couple of flags past the point where your field is no longer viable,
especially since the worst types of zombies can’t hurt your pool plants.
However, scores of dolphins will seriously mess you up if you start losing
gloom-shrooms, so keep those pumpkins healthy. Sadly, gloom-shrooms end up
being the most difficult plant to replace due to the 3-seed slot cost, so do
what you can to keep them running, as their defeat will signal your impending
loss.

And lastly, just remember that you’re always fighting a losing battle: so
don’t sweat it. Oh, and one good game can last HOURS, but you can pause
as much as you’d like.

This concludes the primary Survival: Endless strategy — however, this remains
a process under development. My current best is 37 flags using this strategy.
(This typically nets about 30,000 in coins, a couple of plants for the zen
garden, and maxes out my chocolate. You could probably get much more money if
you tried, but it can also take over 3 hours to get that far, so it’s not a
great gold-farming method.) As I can reach phase 4 easily and bank the
maximum amount of sun, any new strategy ideally needs to deal with the massive
numbers of zombies and constant zomboni/gargantuar threat faced once you’ve
reached a flag count in the early 30s. More ideas — new placements, better
plant usage, more efficient builds, etc. — are always welcome.

========================================
Variations
========================================
[4VARI]

Several variations exist on the main strategy, and unfortunately since it
takes roughly 3 hours to test one, not all of these have been tested. Any
data on any of these methods is appreciated.

===========
Variation 1: Melon-pults vs. land-based cob cannon
===========
[4VAR1]

One variation on this strategy that I invariably end up using is replacing my
two land-based cob cannon with pumpkined melon-pults. Imps become a constant
nuisance toward the 30s and two or three at a time can take out a very
expensive cob cannon before I can really react. So, once that happens, I’ll
replace the cannon with two melons and pumpkin them; these hold up MUCH better
against the imps and help your offense to some degree as well. Sadly, the
loss of the cob cannon is felt, but it still seems to work better than
constantly burning the sun to replace them.

This leads me to wonder if planning this idea from the start wouldn’t help. A
setup based around this idea would spread the melons out a bit more so that
they cover all land rows. There’s also the winter melon vs. normal melon
thought, but since a single winter melon does a decent job of keeping
everything slowed and purportedly shoots half as fast, a normal melon-pult
seems the best way to go. Here’s a final strategy based on this variation:

[W][m][t][t][M][M][M] g # Symbol Legend
[W][u][m][t][u][G] # . # . land G gloom-shroom
CCCC CCCC [W][G][G] _ _ _ water g garlic

[W][u][m][t][u][G] # . # u umbrella leaf M magnet-shroom
[W][m][t][t][M][M][M] g # [ ] pumpkin t twinflower
CC cob cannon m melon-pult

===========
Variation 2: Cacti vs. open spaces
===========
[4VAR2]

Another idea is to try to squeeze cacti into the group to deal with balloon
zombies. The advantages are that you aren’t required to leave an open space
to throw down a blover, and you’ll obtain a slight increase in overall
firepower. The disadvantages are that I am not entirely sure if one cactus
per row can handle the sheer number of balloon zombies that appear in later
waves, nor am I sure that the paltry extra firepower is worth the precious
space (especially since you can’t do this AND have 4 extra melon-pults).
Additionally, since the extra spaces also double as emergency umbrella deploy
spots, it leaves a full third of your field exposed to bungee zombies —
although, since they happen so rarely, this is potentially something that can
be recovered from — and you may be able to dig up your garlic to handle it
most of the time. However, they’re also your emergency jalapeno and cherry
bomb deploy spots as well, which can be another issue. The final disadvantage
is that it also impedes your total reaction time to deal with zombonis and
gargantuars before they can destroy things, although having two spikerocks
should help. I’ve never explored this option completely but it remains a
possibility.

Building on Variation 1 (sacking two cob cannon for space) I would guess it
would look something like this:

[W][f][t][t][M][M][M] g # Symbol Legend
[W][u][f][m][u][t][G] # # . land G gloom-shroom
f CCCC CCCC [W][G][G] _ _ water g garlic
f CCCC CCCC [W][G][G] _ W winter melon # spikerock
[W][u][f][m][u][t][G] # # u umbrella leaf M magnet-shroom
[W][f][t][t][M][M][M] g # [ ] pumpkin t twinflower
CC cob cannon m melon-pult
f cactus

The cacti are intentionally near the back so they have the most time to fire
against balloons. It may also be necessary to dig up an umbrella leaf for
emergency blover/jalapeno placement in extreme waves of balloons (or use your
cob cannon), but honestly if you have to throw down a blover then this
variation is flawed from the get-go.

===========
Variation 3: Garlic vs. double the gloom-shrooms
===========
[4VAR3]

Since a double-row of gloom-shrooms are so effective, and since gloom-shrooms
only get more powerful as they are placed near each other, another variation
is to forget the garlic and just gloom-shroom like crazy. Another benefit of
losing garlic is that gives you more space to plant spikerocks, which means
you have double your chances of getting through a level with vehicles intact
and double the chance to slow a gargantuar. On the other hand, it also means
it will take twice as long to recover when they do get through, and you have
less reaction time to deal with them before they get to something vital.

This effectively also reduces the need for magnets, since you should be able
to kill most of the toughest zombies more easily. It still leaves ladder
zombies and diggers as a threat, however — one not easily dealt with. And, as
with variation 2, we still lose the verisimilitude of an open spot on the
field for blovers, although it might be something we could compensate for by
digging up umbrella leaves and replanting them as needed — so long as the
field was well-covered already. But the only spot that can completely cover
the field is in the middle of our offense… So how do we compensate?

[W][m][t][t][t][G][G] # # Symbol Legend
[W][u][m][M][u][G][G] # # . land G gloom-shroom
CCCC CCCC [W][G][u][G] _ _ water g garlic
CCCC CCCC [W][G][u][G] _ W winter melon # spikerock
[W][u][m][M][u][G][G] # # u umbrella leaf M magnet-shroom
[W][m][t][t][t][G][G] # # [ ] pumpkin t twinflower
CC cob cannon m melon-pult

This strategy uses 2 magnets simply as digger defenses and to maybe grab a
ladder once in a while. Cob cannon end up being backup defenses against both
of these, which isn’t good as this keeps the already short number of cannon
busy. (Later digger zombies start coming 4 or 8 at a time, so many will get
through.) Additionally, due to practical requirements, umbrella plants cannot
actually cover the entire field. This leaves your top and bottom rows
particularly exposed, and worse yet, the only plants exposed are the hardest
to replace! Plus, your only defense against flyers is to dig up an umbrella —
but at least the field is covered as well as it can be so you shouldn’t have
much trouble replacing it. This can get particularly troublesome if you need
to lay down a jalapeno, however. Lastly, I am unsure as to how effective the
front-line pool plants will be against normal waves, as pretty much every
zombie will be getting into the pool and chomping on those first pumpkins.
However, it does grant a tremendous defense against vehicles (if you can
replace the spikerock fast enough) and gargantuars, especially as any of these
that appear on rows 2 or 5 may get killed even without a cob cannon (although
without instant kills they will throw their imps). More testing is needed.

Линейка tower defence игр пополнилась пару лет назад очередным шедевром. Игра заняла награду и хорошо себя зарекомендовала. Отличная анимация, качественная озвучка, хорошо продуманная игровая модель. Все в целом позволило игре выйти на высокий уровень. Сутки удовольствия обеспечены. Хоть и игра проходится на одном дыхании – в ней есть некоторые моменты, которые можно использовать в игре, зная ключевые опорные тактические советы.

Игра относится к разряду tower defence игр. К вашему дому медленно тянутся зомби, вы сажаете пушки, чтобы защитить свое жилище. Все проще простого. Игровое поле постепенно расширяется, зомби постепенно приближаются и приближаются. В итоге – получается 5 почти не связанных между собой отдельных дорожек. Чем больше дорожек – тем также больше и растений можно посадить.

Изначально в игре доступны 2 вида растений – дающее деньги – подсолнух и наносящее урон – стручок гороха. Монстры медленно подползают. По этому Главный тактический совет – в начале игры стройте как можно больше подсолнухов. Даже если появилось зомби. Зомби может подойти на пол экрана, после чего можно успеть сажать горох.

Чуть позже – игроку становится доступна дешевая картофельная мина. Отличная возможность убить 1ю и 2ю одиночную зомби. Стройте только подсолнухи и как можно дольше оттягивайте с посадкой атакующих растений – минимум 3 ряда. Ставьте мину за 3-4 клетки от зомби, чтобы она успела созреть.

Дальше – разновидности растений становится больше. Хорошо себя рекомендуют поедающие растения в сочетании с ореховой стеной. Используйте на одной линии либо поедающие растения, либо стреляющие. Между собой они сочетаются крайне неэффективно. Замораживающий горох следует сажать 1 на линии, не более. В большой волне – помогут быстро всех взорвать – вишни.

Под бегущего с шестом зомби можете быстренько посадить мину. Зомби в любом случае ее перепрыгнет и останется безоружной.

Наступает ночь. Солнце больше не светит, и помочь могут только грибы. Берите с собой мелкий бесплатный гриб. И сажайте его как можно больше и даже в самых уязвимых местах карты. Он – живая мишень. Его не жалко, можно посадить, чтобы сберечь более ценные растения.

Светящиеся грибы позволяют быстро стартовать, сажая их помногу. К середине раунда — они вырастают и начинают приносить большие солнца. К этому времени вы можете заняться обороной.

В игре появились монеты. Это отличная новость. Вскоре мы сможем купить дополнительную ячейку и еще много разных хороших вещей. Чтобы собрать больше денег – нужно собирать больше монет, выкорчевывать могилы, сберегать газонокосилки у дома.

Игра устроена таким образом, что вновь появившаяся разновидность растения нужна будет именно в ближайшей миссии, как раз против новой разновидности зомби. Впоследствии – разновидностей зомби будет больше и нужно будет обходится каким-то образом меньшим набором растений.

Всегда изучайте будущую волну зомби, чтобы подобрать нужные разновидности растений.

Сразу делим зомби на сильных и слабых. Те, что сильные – уничтожаем поедающими растениями, минами, кабачками, гипно-грибами, то есть разовыми бьющими цель инструментами. Против скопища, или редких похождений обычных зомби – подойдут и стандартные гороховые-грибные стручки.

Как только количества собранных солнц будет достаточно – вы можете сажать на место подсолнухов – атакующие растения – возможности для обороны будет больше.

Волна с бассейном используется в целом менее активно, по этому ей можно уделять меньше внимания, но лучше всегда страховать стреляющими на 3 ряда горошенами и вишнями. Даже, если оборона прорвана — можно быстренько поставить орех с кувшинкой и дождаться появления вишни, либо атаковать их сзади при помощи сиамских горошин.

Хорошо сочетаются между собой следующие последовательности – стреляющие, солнечные, огонь, поедающие, орехи, шипы. Каждый вид помогает другому. Не подпускайте зомби на катке близко. Взрывайте ее, ставьте шипы. На образующемся льду – обязательно появятся зомби на бобслее, с которыми трудно что-либо поделать

Под самый конец сюжетной линии – у Вас появляются чеснок, с помощью которого можно выстроить зомби с 5 полос на 2. А также на этих двух полосах построить арбузные растения, которые наносят урон группе зомби.

В финальной борьбе с боссом – берегите перец и замораживающие грибы. Они необходимы для защиты от огненных и ледяных шаров. Также, оставляйте пру горшков про запас.

В остальном игра проходится легко и красиво. Открывающиеся дополнительные мини-игры и головоломки помогут быстро набрать тыс . 10-20 дополнительных денег. Желаю приятной игры. Игра действительно стоит того, чтобы пройти ее и не один раз

This page is a guide with tips on how to complete the levels in Adventure Mode, with help from other users.

Number of flags per level

Number of flags (first time):

• Zero flags: 1-1, 2-5, 4-5, 5-10

• One flag: 1-2 to 1-6, 1-8, 2-1, 2-3, 2-6, 2-8, 3-1, 4-1, 4-3, 4-6, 4-8, 5-1

• Two flags: 1-7, 1-9, 1-10, 2-2, 2-4, 2-7, 2-9, 2-10, 3-2, 3-3, 3-5, 3-6, 3-8, 4-2, 4-4, 4-7, 4-9, 4-10, 5-2, 5-3, 5-5, 5-6, 5-8

• Three flags: 3-4, 3-7, 3-9, 3-10, 5-4, 5-7, 5-9

Number of flags (subsequently):

• Two flags: 1-1 to 1-6, 1-8, 1-10, 2-1, 2-3, 2-6, 2-8, 2-10, 3-1, 4-1, 4-3, 4-6, 4-8, 5-1

• 1-10, 2-5, 2-10, 3-10, 4-5, and 5-10 remain the same length.

Stage layout

The first and third levels are simplistic. The second and fourth levels expand upon this, with the new zombie and multiple waves, as well as the past zombies to deal with.
The fifth level is always a bonus level, most of which later reappear as mini-games.
The sixth through ninth levels work similarly to the first through fourth. The tenth level is the final level in the stage, and is a conveyor-belt level. In these levels, you do not need to worry about sun. The seed packets come on the conveyor-belt at the top, and stop once they reach the end. You can grab them off of any part of it and plant them. Make sure to keep at least some space on the conveyor-belt clear, though, or there will be no room for new packets to come in.

Stage One: Day

Overview

The levels here are simple. It is daytime, so sun will come from the sky. This is the basic layout. At the beginning of the first few levels, strips of grass will roll out, eventually creating five rows. This acts as a tutorial level, and the first three levels cannot be replayed when completed.

Level 1-1

For the full article, see Level 1-1

Here, there is only one strip of grass. So, plant as many Peashooters as possible. There are only five zombies during this level, and there is not even a «massive» wave of zombies at the end, so two Peashooters are sufficient, although three would be great. This level is, fittingly, the easiest level in the whole game. It is so easy that you can’t even lose the level. No zombies will come until you plant your second Peashooter.

Plants earned: Peashooter, Sunflower

New Zombie: Zombie

Note: When you play this level for the first time, it is impossible to fail. Even if you plant two Peashooters on the extreme right side of the lawn, they would get eaten but the zombies are too slow, so by the time the final wave arrives, the zombies wouldn’t have reached the Lawnmower, which would kill them all and complete the level.

Level 1-2

For the full article, see Level 1-2

Two more strips of grass will roll out here. One on the top, another on the bottom, each above and below the «mid-strip.» Plant three, six or nine Sunflowers in the back, then plant more Peashooters until you get a solid defense. This level is a good candidate for the achievement Sunny Days as no zombies will come until you plant your third Sunflower, making it possible to get maximum sun with only two Sunflowers.

Plant earned: Cherry Bomb

New Zombie: Flag Zombie

Level 1-3

For the full article, see Level 1-3

Same tactic as Level 2. However, if anything gets bad, use a Cherry Bomb. You may want to use it at the final wave. This level is the first to feature Conehead Zombies, which are tougher than the normal variety. If you do not have enough Peashooters, save some Sun so you can bomb them. Also, note that from this point onward, every single level will contain Coneheads, with the exception of Level 2-1. Their inclusion in the level will be omitted from this guide.

Plant earned: Wall-nut

New Zombie: Conehead Zombie

Level 1-4

For the full article, see Level 1-4

Here, you finally get all five lanes of grass, so use them well by planting either five, ten or fifteen Sunflowers. Apply the same tactics here from the previous levels. You may want to add a row of Wall-nuts as well. Again, use a Cherry Bomb if things get tough.

Item earned: Shovel

Level 1-5

For the full article, see Level 1-5

Wall-nut Bowling time!
First, using your trusty new shovel, dig up the three Peashooters, as told by Crazy Dave. Next, when the first zombie comes, place a Wall-nut in its lane and watch. Repeat as necessary. Attempt to achieve as many ricochets as possible, and keep in mind that the Coneheads take two hits, and Zombies take one. Wall-nuts do not roll off the screen when they reach the end of the conveyor-belt. Explode-o-nuts (the red Wall-nuts) are essentially a Cherry Bomb. Save them for emergencies, or use them for groups of zombies.

Plant earned: Potato Mine

Level 1-6

For the full article, see Level 1-6

This is the first actual level you will come up against, featuring the new Pole Vaulting Zombie. Although it is not quite as tough as a Conehead, it does move significantly faster. Stick anything cheap and easily rechargeable e.g. a Sunflower in front of it to slow it down, but if you have at least one Peashooter firing at it, it will go down easily. Other than that, there really is not anything else remarkable about this level.

Plant earned: Snow Pea

New Zombie: Pole Vaulting Zombie

Level 1-7

For the full article, see Level 1-7

This level is the first of many to have multiple waves of zombies (only two), so save some Sun for Cherry Bombs for both waves. You can check your progress at the top or the bottom of the screen. Use the new Snow Peas to defeat the Coneheads and Pole Vaulters with ease. A single one is enough to stop both. Because of their higher Sun cost, though, you may want to use more Sunflowers than normal. Note that there is no added benefit to using multiple Snow Peas in the same row. Once you have a Snow Pea base, the game basically plays itself.

Plant earned: Chomper

Level 1-8

For the full article, see Level 1-8

This level introduces Bucketheads, which are tougher than Coneheads and Vaulters. Fortunately, very few appear. A Snow Pea/Peashooter combo is enough to take them out, but feel free to use Cherry Bombs, Potato Mines, or the new Chompers if conventional methods fail. Note that all levels, starting with this one, will limit the plants you can use. Later on, you can get more seed slots, but for now, you’re restricted to six.

Plant earned: Repeater

New Zombie: Buckethead Zombie

Level 1-9

For the full article, see Level 1-9

Pole Vaulters and a lot more Bucketheads appear frequently in this two-wave stage. Use a Snow Pea/Repeater combo to take them out, and pack your instant kill items if you need to take someone out in a pinch. A Wall-nut is also handy if the onslaught gets too unbearable.

Item earned: note

Level 1-10

For the full article, see Level 1-10

This is your second conveyor-belt level, the first being Wall-nut Bowling. Plant your Peashooters as soon as possible, and try to distribute them evenly between the rows. Set up a Wall-nut shield in a later column, with Potato Mines directly behind it. Try to spread out your Snow Peas so you have at least one in every row. Save your Cherry Bombs for clusters of Bucketheads and during any waves. Plant any plants you do not intend to use and dig them up immediately so you can leave space for new seeds on the conveyor-belt. This should be a fairly easy level.

Plant earned: Puff-shroom

Stage Two: Night

Overview

The main difference between Day and Night is that sun does not fall from the sky. This is reflected in that many mushrooms have low sun costs to plant, but it is still recommended that you bring Sun-shrooms (when they are unlocked), planting a column of each in the back. Overkill is not enough on the Night levels. The graves on every level spawn zombies on the final wave, so pay attention and use Grave Busters (again, when unlocked).

Strategy

One strategy to the night levels is that you can use the Sun-shroom instead of a Sunflower. Another one is that you plant a Puff-shroom anywhere, and collect sun. After you have enough sun you can take the Puff-shroom away with the shovel and plant what you want there.

Level 2-1

For the full article, see Level 2-1

Okay, bring your spanking-new Puff-shrooms for no-cost zombie win and some other low cost plants, such as Potato Mines or Peashooters. It takes only one Puff-shroom to bring down a normal Zombie, though it kills it barely before the Zombie is in range. Newspaper Zombies also appear here, but Bucketheads and Pole Vaulters do not. They speed up when you destroy their newspaper, so plant extra Puff-shrooms when you see them come. This is not difficult in the slightest. It is actually possible to defeat this level with only Puff-shrooms. This is also the first level you get money.

Plant earned: Sun-shroom

New Zombie: Newspaper Zombie

Present: Versus Mode unlocked (if playing the Xbox Live Arcade, DS, or PS3 versions)

Level 2-2

For the full article, see Level 2-2

At this point, Crazy Dave will tell you how much money you have saved. If you have $750, he will attempt to sell you an extra seed slot, which you should definitely accept if you can afford it.

This level, despite being so early in the game, is actually one of the harder levels in the game and could catch you off guard if unprepared. The level itself brings back Bucketheads, so bring Sunflowers or Sun-shrooms to rack up the sun, as well as Wall-nuts, Repeaters, and Snow Peas, and, of course, your Puff-shrooms. Focus on Sun-shrooms in the beginning, planting Sunflowers later on. Snow Peas are very important or else the Bucketheads will plow through your Puff-shrooms. After the first wave, Bucketheads start coming, so make sure you have up Snow Peas, Repeaters, and Wall-nuts to defend against them. Sun production is not an issue with a combo of 1 row of Sunflowers and Sun-shrooms, but the key is continuing to build your defenses until the final wave or it will catch you off guard.

Plant earned: Fume-shroom

This level has the new Screen Door Zombies, which carry around screen doors to protect themselves with. These are about as tough as Bucketheads, so use your new Fume-shrooms to pass through the doors. This level is pretty easy. There’s only one wave, so don’t knock yourself out if you need to use a Lawn Mower.

Plant earned: Grave Buster

New Zombie: Screen Door Zombie

Level 2-4

For the full article, see Level 2-4

Nothing too hard about this. Coneheads, Screen Doors, and Pole Vaulters. Nothing you have not seen before. This level has a lot of graves, so bring Grave Busters to eat them… before they spawn zombies to EAT YOUR BRAINS! Plus, there’s a 90% chance to earn a silver coin. There’s another wave this time, so beef up your Fume-shrooms and Snow Peas. Um… That’s all, I guess.

Item earned: Suburban Almanac

Level 2-5

For the full article, see Level 2-5

It is time to play Whack a Zombie! Click/tap whatever the zombies to kill them as soon as they come out of the graves. Coneheads need to be hit twice, Bucketheads three times. Use your Sun to plant Grave Busters on graves that are closer to your house. The zombies move fairly fast, so, uh, click/tap/whatever faster. Yeah. Just like hunting squirbos. Plant as many Grave-Busters as you can. At the final wave, after all the zombies have emerged from their graves, plant a Cherry Bomb in a group of zombies to make it easier to kill the rest.

Plant earned: Hypno-shroom

Level 2-6

For the full article, see Level 2-6

This is where it gets tough. Football Zombies are as fast as Pole Vaulters and a bit tougher than Bucketheads, so use your new Hypno-shrooms make them fight for you. Fortunately, there’s only one wave and about two Football Zombies.

Plant earned: Scaredy-shroom

New Zombie: Football Zombie

Level 2-7

For the full article, see Level 2-7

Many graves here. Many, many graves. Bust them up and count your money. Use Scaredy-shrooms like you would use them like Peashooters. Put them near the back, or the Scaredy-shrooms will duck and get eaten. Very few Football Zombies, but Screen Doors make a return, so double up on the Fume-shrooms. Nothing too spectacular here.

Plant earned: Ice-shroom

Level 2-8

For the full article, see Level 2-8

Dancing Zombies appear here. Dancing Zombies are not so bad themselves, but Hypno-shroom or Cherry Bomb them as soon as you see them to make them do your bidding. Only one wave here and very few Dancing Zombies.

Plant earned: Doom-shroom

New Zombies: Dancing Zombies, Backup Dancer

Level 2-9

For the full article, see Level 2-9

More graves and Dancing Zombies this time around. Whatever you have been using before should work here, as well. Screen Door Zombies return, so Fume them to death. If you beat the last level, you can beat this one. If necessary, use your new-found Doom-shroom to end the last wave quickly.

Item earned: note

Level 2-10

For the full article, see Level 2-10

All Night encountered zombies (except Newspaper), as well as those encountered on day (except Buckethead and Pole Vaulting), appear in this level. You get Ice-shrooms, Doom-shrooms, Puff-shrooms, Fume-shrooms, Hypno-shrooms, Scaredy-shrooms and Grave Busters here, so hypnotize the Football Zombies, use Fume-shrooms for Screen Door Zombies, and use Doom-shrooms for Dancing Zombies. Freeze zombies when huge waves come and use the Doom-shroom to destroy zombies that you cannot kill with your projectiles. Spread your Puff-shrooms, Fume-shrooms, and Scaredy-shrooms evenly throughout. Remember to put Scaredy-shrooms at the back so that they won’t be scared. There are a LOT of graves here, so use your Grave Busters wisely.

Plant earned: Lily Pad

Stage Three: Pool

Overview

Pool levels have six rows of zombies to invade, the middle two being the pool. The pool has special plants and zombies that can only be planted/appear there. Your mushrooms from the previous levels will fall asleep here (but that does not mean they are pointless — zombies will still stop to eat them, so Puff-shrooms are actually quite helpful at the beginning), but sun falls from the sky again, and graves do not appear here. Also, Lawn Mowers will sink in the water rows, killing only a single zombie, but you can buy Pool Cleaners. Not too different from the Day Levels, overall.

Level 3-1

For the full article, see Level 3-1

Aside from the occasional Conehead, nothing remotely smacking of toughness appears here. Ducky Tubers, the pool-only zombies, appear only during or directly before the wave, giving you plenty of time to prepare. Note that you can use Cherry Bombs to kill the zombies that pop out of the pool during the final wave, somewhat like graves. This level is so easy, you can try to win.

Plant earned: Squash
New Zombie: Ducky Tube Zombie

Level 3-2

For the full article, see Level 3-2

The zombies here have some variety to them, so apply your skills and strategies from earlier levels. Bring Snow Peas as well as your instants, including the new Squash (which is arguably the best instant in the game). Bucketheads appear frequently after the first wave, and both Coneheads and Bucketheads now appear as Ducky Tubers. A single Football Zombie appears at the very end, and Newspaper Zombies are spread throughout. This level isn’t a cakewalk.

Plant earned: Threepeater

Present: Mini-games unlocked

Level 3-3

For the full article, see Level 3-3

This level simplifies things a bit from the previous one, cutting out the Newspaper, Buckethead, and Football Zombies. Instead, this level introduces Snorkel Zombies directly following the first wave. These zombies stay underwater, out of pea’s range, surfacing only to eat your plants. Wall-nuts are practically a necessity on this level. Without Wall-nuts guarding them, Snorkel Zombies will likely eat much of your pool defenses. Given their large numbers, relying on instants is not a valid strategy. Other than that major threat, this level shouldn’t be much of a hassle.

Plant earned: Tangle Kelp

New Zombie: Snorkel Zombie

Level 3-4

For the full article, see Level 3-4

Around this time, if you have been diligent in collecting dropped coins and saving Lawn Mowers, Crazy Dave will ask you if you would like another seed slot (bringing you up to eight) for $5000. Take this deal whenever you can — there is nothing else you can spend money on at this point, and seed slots are always helpful. Anyway, Pole Vaulters reappear here early on, and Snorkel varieties crop up past the first wave. Generous amounts of Bucketheads come at you, so prepare accordingly. There are three flags in this level, so beware. Also, if you are using the free PC version, this will be the last level.

Item earned: Crazy Dave’s Car Key

Level 3-5

For the full article, see Level 3-5

Defend your skins! Peashooters, Wall-nuts, Lily Pads, and Cherry Bombs appear through the conveyor-belt. Use Wall-nuts against Snorkels and Footballs. Use Cherry Bombs liberally, and spread your Wall-nuts evenly throughout. Peashooters will be of some help, but the mass of zombies that you fight will force dependency on Wall-nuts and Cherry Bombs.

Plant earned: Jalapeno

Level 3-6

For the full article, see Level 3-6

This level, aside from simple Coneheads and Ducky Tubers, has only one other variant of Zombie, the new Zomboni. The Zomboni has high health, the ability to instantly crush plants, and it leaves behind an ice trail as it drives. Even worse is that they are not slowed down by Snow Peas. As such, try to destroy them with an instant kill as soon as they appear and prevent a Zombie Bobsled Team from appearing. Two waves here, and a Zomboni will appear directly after the first one and during the second one. The new Jalapenos are notable, as they can destroy ice trails left by the Zomboni, as well as the Zomboni itself.

Plant earned: Spikeweed

New Zombies: Zomboni, Zombie Bobsled Team

Level 3-7

For the full article, see Level 3-7

Buckethead Zombies, Snorkel Zombies and the Zomboni come back again. This level has three waves. Zombonis do not appear until during the second wave. Spikeweeds, although they can kill Zombonis when they are run over, are somewhat expensive, and die when run over. As such, it should not be relied upon to kill Zombonis. Snorkel Zombies and Bucketheads are nothing new.

Plant earned: Torchwood

Level 3-8

For the full article, see Level 3-8

The new Zombie on this level is the Dolphin Rider Zombie, who carries a dolphin into the water, jumps in, and rides it very quickly. Think of it as an aquatic Pole Vaulting Zombie. These zombies appear frequently after the first wave, so plant a Lily Pad in front of them to make them jump. Tangle Kelp is a useful emergency plant for this, as it cannot be vaulted over, but do not rely entirely on it.

Plant earned: Tall-nut

New Zombie: Dolphin Rider Zombie

Level 3-9

For the full article, see Level 3-9

Pole Vaulters, Zombonis, Bucketheads, and Dolphin Riders all assault you in this grueling level. The new Tall-nut is a wonderful counter to Pole Vaulters and Dolphin Riders, as they cannot jump over it. The presence of Zombonis necessitates instant kills (or the Spikeweed), and Bucketheads are… Bucketheads. Zombonis do not appear until after the second wave, so stack your Spikeweeds on land and Tall-nuts in the pool, and you’ll be set. You may want to use a few more Sunflowers than usual for this.

Item earned: note

Level 3-10

For the full article, see Level 3-10

Conveyor-belt time! This level is very Threepeater-centric, and you will have collected tons of them by the third (and last) wave. Jalapenos, Squashes, Lily Pads, Tall-nuts, Spikeweeds, and a few Torchwoods and Tangle Kelps also appear to help beat back the Bucketheads, Dolphin Riders, Snorkelers, and Zombonis. Spikeweed is an instant kill to Zombonis and should be stacked at least two deep in each land row, Tall-nuts should be concentrated in the pool to combat Snorkelers and Dolphin Riders, and Torchwood should be set behind Tall-nuts to make room for your Threepeaters. Easy peasy.

Plant earned: Sea-shroom

Stage Four: Fog

Overview

The Fog levels, basically, are what you get when you combine Night with the Pool. Sun does not fall from the sky, and you need to bring Lily Pads so you do not get invaded through the Pool. Graves do not appear, so the final wave «extras» will pop out of the water in fifth to ninth column. The new thing, if it was not evident by the title of the levels or the fog you see on your screen, is fog. With each level, the Fog gets a little further in. You can kinda see through the Fog to find the zombies, but you may find it a little tricky. Use Scaredy-shrooms in one of the columns closest to you to find the zombies — if the Scaredies are shooting, you have got zombies, though it is a bit tough to tell which kind of zombie it is unless a special sound (such as the sound of a bucket being hit) is present. Good night and good luck — you will need it.

Note that on the DS and iOS versions of the game, a plant dragged onto the lawn will automatically highlight spots where it can be planted, and will remain full color if it cannot be planted on the spot it is dragged over. This works on every level, and will show these highlighted spots over the fog and when it is pitch-black on level 4-10.

The fog line in iPhone version covers one tile less in other versions.

Level 4-1

For the full article, see Level 4-1

Easy intro level. The new Jack-in-the-Box Zombie appears here, and carries the item of his namesake to destroy your plants when he dies, so try to kill him quickly. HE COULD KILL YOUR SHINS! Play with the volume on so you can hear his jingle when he appears. Other than that, just simple Coneheads and Zombies, and, of course, Ducky Tubers. What were you expecting? Note that you will still need Lily Pads as Sea-shrooms are not enough to hold off all of the Ducky Tubers.

Plant earned: Plantern

New Zombie: Jack-in-the-Box Zombie

Level 4-2

For the full article, see Level 4-2

Football Zombies join the Jack-in-the-Box Zombies this time around, though neither of them will appear at all except directly before and during the final wave. Two waves here, so bring Hypno-shrooms for the Football Zombies, and, um… that is it? If you beat the last level, you have no excuse if you cannot beat this one.

Plant earned: Cactus

Level 4-3

For the full article, see Level 4-3

The new Zombie here is the Balloon Zombie, which can only be killed (at this point, anyway) with the new Cactus (or the explosive plants), so take those along. Nothing else noteworthy here. One wave and about two Balloon Zombies, so you can afford to just use a Lawn Mower/Pool Cleaner to take them out (though doing so reduces your money earned).

Plant earned: Blover

New Zombie: Balloon Zombie

Level 4-4

For the full article, see Level 4-4

Dolphin Riders show up again, with the Balloon Zombies making a return. Similar to before, although you can now use Blovers instead of Cacti if you wish to take out Balloon Zombies. They also clear the fog, which is always nice. Two waves here, but try to do something about the fog (at least in the Pool lanes) so that you can tell where a Dolphin Rider is.

Item earned: Taco

Level 4-5

For the full article, see Level 4-5

Note: it is a Night level instead of Fog.

Before the level starts, Crazy Dave will appear and buy your Magic Taco for $1000. He will also update his shop to include Gloom-shroom and Cattails, which are useful plants, but too expensive sun-wise to be useful right now.

Anyway, this is Vasebreaker, where breaking vases can yield plants or zombies. Do this three times, each time with another column of vases. Green vases always yield plants. Break vases in rows, planting only the plants you’ll need to kill the zombies in that row, and saving the other plants for other rows. Football Zombies, Buckethead Zombies, and Dancing Zombies appear here. You can get Peashooters, Snow Peas, Squashes, and Hypno-shrooms. Counter the zombies as best you can.

Plant earned: Split Pea

Level 4-6

For the full article, see Level 4-6

No old Zombies (save Zombies, Ducky Tubers, and Coneheads) and a single wave, but there is a new zombie, the Digger Zombie, two of which appear, one directly before and one during the wave. The new Split Pea is one way to beat them, but instant kills can also work if you can build up enough sun production. Ultimately, not too difficult.

Plant earned: Starfruit

New Zombie: Digger Zombie

Present: Puzzle Mode unlocked

Level 4-7

For the full article, see Level 4-7

Bucketheads, Diggers, and Jack-in-the-Boxes appear here in this two-wave stage, and they appear in larger amounts than usual, making this a very tricky level. Try to conserve your Lawn Mowers and Pool Cleaners, and use instant kills on Diggers and Bucketheads when you can get away with it.

Plant earned: Pumpkin

Level 4-8

For the full article, see Level 4-8

Another easy, one-wave level. The new Pogo Zombie is incapable of jumping over a Tall-nut, so you can use those to stall. However, it should fall fairly easily, so it is not really needed. Not much explanation, but there is not much to explain.

Plant earned: Magnet-shroom

New Zombie: Pogo Zombie

Level 4-9

For the full article, see Level 4-9

Pogo Zombies return, alongside Bucketheads and Balloon Zombies. The new Magnet-shroom is a miracle plant — it takes away metal objects, including the Buckets and Pogos of the zombies that you encounter on this level. Bring something for the Balloon Zombies, and you are set. Instant kills can be used if your Magnet-shrooms are overwhelmed, though they shouldn’t be.

Item earned: note

Level 4-10

For the full article, see Level 4-10

Yep, another conveyor-belt level. Two waves, and it is pitch-black. You get Cactus, Starfruit, Pumpkins, Lily Pads, Blovers, Sea-shrooms, Split Peas, and Magnet-shrooms. Diggers, Bucketheads, Pogos, Jacks and Ballooners appear. Use Magnet-shrooms to deal with the Diggers and Bucketheads, and spread your plants out as evenly as possible, Pumpkining the ones in front. You know the drill by now.

Plant earned: Cabbage-pult

New Zombie: Zombie Yeti (when replaying Adventure Mode)

Stage Five: Roof

Overview

The Roof is drastically different from any of the levels you have played so far. It consists of five rows, with the five columns closest to your house being sloped. Only plants beyond the three closest columns can fire over the slope. However, lobbed-shot plants can circumvent this. Furthermore, Flower Pots are required to plant anywhere on the roof. Fortunately, some are already planted at the beginning of each level. Lawn Mowers cannot be used at all, and the only last line of defense item usable is the Roof Cleaner, but only once you buy it from Crazy Dave. Finally, as it is day, sun will fall from the sky, and mushrooms will fall asleep.

Stage 5-1

For the full article, see Level 5-1

You start with five columns of Flower Pots here, and although it is recommended that you bring Cabbage-pults, they are unnecessary if you are planting in the fourth or fifth columns from the house. Try not to let any Flower Pots get eaten, as they are irreplaceable at this point. It is possible that the new Bungee Zombie will come from above and attempt to steal a Flower Pot, so plant a Potato Mine or something cheap in that spot to avoid losing it. In the final wave, Zombies dropped by Bungee Zombies arrive. This occurs on every Roof level. Still, only one wave here, so this should be a fairly easy level.

Plant earned: Flower Pot

New Zombie: Bungee Zombie

Stage 5-2

For the full article, see Level 5-2

Before the level begins, Crazy Dave will appear with new items in the shop. If you have $3000, buy the Roof Cleaner (the leftmost object at the top on the first page) — it gives you a last line of defense, akin to Lawn Mowers, and will give you money at the end of a level if unused. Anyhow, Bucketheads and Pole Vaulters strike again on this level. You will notice you have one less column of free Flower Pots, so consider bringing extras — there is not much you can do with the seed slot, anyway. Two flags and not much to worry about, and a Snow Pea in the frontmost Potted column with a Cabbage-pult or two behind is enough to deal with the Bucketheads.

This level is also a good way to earn the Grounded achievement. Do not bring any catapults, but instead, focus on using Chompers, Tall-nuts, and Pumpkins. Use Tall-nuts on the front column and plant two lines of Chompers just in case a zombie gets through. Plant Pumpkins on the first line of Chompers and/or the Tall-nuts and you should be all set for the whole level. Use a Cherry Bomb or Jalapeno if things get a little chaotic. Some people struggle to defeat the Buckethead Zombies with the Cabbage-pults so this method is a good alternative.

Plant earned: Kernel-pult

Stage 5-3

For the full article, see Level 5-3

Ladder Zombie is this level’s new zombie. It is fast, and carries a ladder to climb over (and let other zombies climb over) the first defensive plant in the row. You now only have three rows with Flower Pots to work with, so if you have been avoiding using lobbed-shot plants, you would better start. It is recommended that you plant Cabbage-pults before Kernel-pults, as the former deals damage more reliably than the latter. Two waves here, but do note that the ladder counts as a shield, so planting an extra Flower Pot and Snow Pea will not let you freeze the Ladder Zombie.

Plant earned: Coffee Bean

New Zombie: Ladder Zombie

Stage 5-4

For the full article, see Level 5-4

Football Zombies, Pogo Zombies, and Ladder Zombies appear here. Although you may be tempted to bring both the Coffee Bean and the Magnet-shroom to deal with them, instant kills will work better, as they take up one less seed slot, and all of them are cheaper to use, sun-wise. There are three waves to this level, and large amounts of Ladder Zombies come at you after the second, so prepare accordingly. The final wave is a little tricky, but nothing too difficult. Using Chompers as another strategy could also work because of the high number of high-health zombies. Plant two lines of Cabbage-pults and a line of Chompers and then a line of Tall-nuts. The Cabbage-pults could take care of the weaker zombies while the Chompers would take care of the stronger zombies.

Item earned: Watering Can

Stage 5-5

For the full article, see Level 5-5

At the start of this level, Crazy Dave appears and tells it is time for Bungee Blitz with Bungee Zombies. Every zombie on this level gets lowered onto the stage via Bungee Zombie. Two waves of this, and the only plants you get are Chompers, Flower Pots, Pumpkins, and Cherry Bombs.

Plant earned: Garlic

Stage 5-6

For the full article, see Level 5-6

The new zombie for this level is the Catapult Zombie, which drives a machine partway onto the roof, stops, and begins slinging basketballs at the furthest plant in the row (from the zombies). A Jalapeno is a good way to stop it before it destroys your Sunflowers, though other instant kills work as well. Or, you could just let your other plants handle it and replace the Sunflower afterward, as Sunflowers are cheaper than most instant kills (save the Squash and the Potato Mine, the latter of which can’t be used effectively against the Catapult Zombie). Two waves here, and no other notable zombies appear, so it’s a fairly easy level.

This level is another good opportunity to earn the Grounded achievement by using only Chompers, Pumpkins, and plenty of instant kills.

Plant earned: Umbrella Leaf

New Zombie: Catapult Zombie

Stage 5-7

For the full article, see Level 5-7

Bungee Zombies, Catapult Zombies, and Ladder Zombies come at you in this three-wave level. Umbrella Leaves are recommended, as they prevent both Bungee Zombies and Catapult Zombies from killing your plants within a 3×3 range. However, they are not necessary to complete the level. Save some sun and instant kills for the final wave, though, as one of each of the above types of zombies appears.

Plant earned: Marigold

Stage 5-8

For the full article, see Level 5-8

Simple level, real easy, two waves, except for… the Gargantuars! These zombies have a gargantuan amount of health, requiring two instant kills to kill. Bring your Jalapeno and Squash to take it out, although with a Cabbage-pult, Kernel-pult, and Snow Pea, one Jalapeno will do fine — it has the added bonus of destroying the Imp the Gargantuar throws. Fairly easy level, as there are only two Gargantuars.

Plant earned: Melon-pult

New Zombies: Gargantuar, Imp

Stage 5-9

For the full article, see Level 5-9

Bucketheads, Ladders, Catapults, Bungees, Jacks and Gargantuars appear here, making this the most diverse level you have seen so far. With three waves, you will get a chance to see all of these. This is by far the most difficult level in the game… so far. Your instants will see lots of use here, so take your Jalapenos and Squashes. If whatever you have been using so far is working, keep it up. Gargantuars only show up around the last wave, so save your Sun and instants for then. You should be able to make it through.

Item earned: note

Stage 5-10 — Dr. Zomboss (Night Roof)

For the full article, see Level 5-10

Nighttime conveyor-belt level on the roof, with Cabbage-pults, Kernel-pults, Melon-pults, Flower Pots, Jalapenos, Ice-shrooms on your side, and everything but Flag Zombies, Dancing Zombies, Backup Dancers, Digger Zombies, Balloon Zombies, aquatic zombies, and Zombie Bobsled Teams on his side. Spread your plants out evenly, and keep your Melon-pults in the middle rows — keep them out of zombie range and Catapult Zombie range. Plant an Ice-shroom when he fireballs, and put a Jalapeno in rows with iceballs. Keep spare Flower Pots and plants on hand to counter his camper and Bungee Zombie attacks. Try to avoid planting on the flat part of the roof, as the Zombot will crush any plant planted there. When the Zombot leans its head in, use a chain of Ice-shrooms to give your plants a chance to kill it. Finish it with a Jalapeno or two. You should know how to do a conveyor-belt level, and you know how to deal with the zombies. Once the final blow is done to Dr. Zomboss, he will be defeated, and you will have successfully completed Adventure Mode for the first time.

New Zombie: Dr. Zomboss with his Zombot

Item earned: Silver Sunflower Trophy

New mode: Survival Mode

Other times

If you beat Adventure Mode once, you can play it again. This time, Crazy Dave will chose three seed slots for you. Mushrooms are never chosen for daytime levels, and any plants that would not be wise to use are also not available. Also, an extra wave will be added to most levels, making them a little harder. On Level 4-10, the Zombie Yeti will also appear for the first time.
