You will be given seed packets during the game, each one with a
price in sun, the game's main currency which falls from the
sky, you can also get them with the sunflower of course! You can't just bring all the plants with you tho
there's a slot limit for now.
Many plants have different abilities and stats that will
help you through the 5 game areas. Zombies aren't left behind, the hordes will include tougher zombies with
other abilities, but that's what makes it an strategy game.
Zombies will appear in different lanes on your
yard, if they get you... you still have your
lawnmower to run them over but from then... start planting.
PvZ also includes minigames, Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies (aka Dave's shop) and game
modes, but those come while you are playing.
Game areas
You are introduced to each one during adventure mode, with a conveyor belt
level at the end of it, in which you will not be able to choose your own plants.
Front yard / day
You start here! This area has the easiest levels.
Minigames
- Wall-nut bowling
Night
Sun don't fall from the sky anymore and sunflowers don't produce as much sun, also there's
graves where zombies can spawn! So know you will be given fungi with cheaper prices instead, and for the
graves? A log of some sorts.
Here you are also introduced to coins!
Pool
You can't no longer use your fungi since they sleep in daytime. You now use lily pads to plant on top
of
the pool water, pool levels also give you an extra row.
After the fourth level (3-4) you are finally introduced to Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies, you can buy pool
cleaners here which are the equivalent to lawnmowers but in water.
Minigames
Big Trouble Little Zombie
Fog
Back to night again and it's pretty foggy, so you can't really see the zombies coming but you are given
plants to clear the area.
I personally consider this area the most difficult, it's also my
favorite.
You can replay the last level of this area to meet the zombie yeti and get the
Zombologist achievement
Minigames
- Vase-breaker
- practically night level but you get introduced to it here
Roof
How in the hell these fuckass zombies got in the damn roof bro.
You are given pots and
catapult plants in here, since you are on the roof and it's of course uneven.
At the final
level you fight Dr Zomboss, leader of the zombies in a conveyor belt level at night.
