Android Game Review

In Plants vs. Zombies, players make different kinds of plants and fungi, each with their own unique offensive or defensive capabilities, around the house to stop a horde of zombies from reaching the house residents. The playing field is divided into 5 to 6 horizontal stripes, and with rare exceptions, a zombie will only move towards the house on the strip (the main exception to this is if there will be taking a bite of garlic). Planting costs "Sun", which can be collected free (albeit slowly) during daytime levels and some planting plants or fungi. Most plants can only attack or defense against zombies in the lane they are planted. In later levels, players can purchase upgrades with different offensive and defensive abilities.
The game uses several different types of levels and layouts. The game begins in the front yard, and progresses to the level of temporary night where the gameplay is more complex. Other levels have backyard with pool added. The final levels of nocturnal pool (where the fog fills the right half of the screen unless specific plants are used), the level of a thunderstorm in the pitch dark (unless random flashes of lightning lit), and the level of the roof (the final level, the player must face a huge robot, driven by zombies known as Dr. Zomboss). In the control points throughout the game, the player is warned in a letter by crazy Dave to get ready for an ambush, where the game takes on the style of bowling, with the help of wall-nuts in a bowl down zombies, or a modified version of the regular levels, where the random plants come in a small choice, and the player can use plants without spending Sun

Gameplay

The player starts with a limited amount of seed package types and seed pack slots that they can use during most levels. The number of slots can be increased by purchasing with in-game money. At the beginning of the level, the player showed different types of zombies to expect and given the opportunity to select which seed packs take into level. Some plants are nocturnal, like mushrooms, which have a lower cost of sunshine and ideal for night-time levels. Some plants are very effective against certain types of zombies, such as magnetic-Shroom, which can remove the metal elements of zombies, such as helmets, buckets, ladders, and pogosticks.
Zombie also among the types that have different attributes, such as speed, resistance to damage and abilities. Zombie include those wearing makeshift armor, those who are able to jump or fly over plants, and dancing zombies, which has a different structure depending on the version, which can summon other zombies from the ground. At various points, the player will be swamped with huge waves of zombies.
If a zombie reaches the end of the lane for the first time, the lawnmower at the end of this band will shoot forward and destroy all the zombies in this line. However, if the zombie reaches the end of the same line in the second time it reaches the home. When this occurs, the music changes and other zombies stop moving while the zombies come into the house. Crunching sounds will be heard, accompanied by shouts and a message saying "Zombies ate your brains!" The game will end, and the player can decide whether or not they try again.
