An early loading screen, presumably a placeholder.

Another early loading screen, also probably a placeholder.

An early version of the main menu. There are differences here, such as Zen Garden having its own button, a mode called «Challenges» and a vase tipped over in the background. The grave and buttons also have a different color. Dated August 21, 2008.

Another early version of the main menu. Dated October 8, 2008.

An early screenshot of Level 1-2. Notice the different plant selects, money counter, the different «Menu» button, and the Lawn Mowers.

Gameplay of the game (Flag Zombie’s flag is placed differently and Wall-nut was possibly going to be unlocked before Cherry Bomb), as well as the different designs for the level progress bar and shovel button. This level also has 3 flags.

An early screenshot of the beginning of Level 1-5.

Another early gameplay screenshot. Note the larger sized Potato Mine.

Trivia

In the game files, the «Mini-games», «Puzzles» and «Survival» buttons are named «Survival», «Challenges» and «Vasebreak».

Trivia

The three Pool ambush zombies together. Note the seaweed around them.

• In the new iOS version, the player will receive the bacon at Level 3-4 instead of the car keys because they already had the keys in 2-2 for the Bonus Games.
• Dancing Zombies will only be able to summon three Backup Dancers, as a fourth would be impossible to summon inside the Pool.

In the Xbox Live Arcade version, there are no ladders leading to the Pool area, but instead, the zombies destroy the fence.

• If a Ducky Tube Zombie

  At this point, it loses its ducky tube.

  is killed before it enters the pool, it will fall onto the surface of the pool just as a normal zombie will do on the lawn.

• The pool music is remixed for the music video Zombies on Your Lawn.
• If a Balloon Zombie is shot down by a Cactus or Cattail above the Pool, the zombie will simply disappear, as it has nothing to stay afloat.

If an Ice-shroom is timed right when the final flag of a level starts, the ambush zombies will not emerge.

• If the player tries to plant a non-aquatic plant in the water without a Lily Pad, a message will come up, saying: «Plant a Lily Pad first». The same thing happens with Cattail.
• The pool is the only area in the game with no canceled mini-games.
• There is a track in Bloons Tower Defense 4 iOS named Monkeys vs. Bloons, a parody of Plants vs. Zombies. This track is based on the Pool levels.
• Like Day, all of the Pool plants reappear in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
• Snorkel Zombie is the only Zombie from this area to return in Plants vs. Zombies 2.

Trivia

• In an interview with The Verge, Executive Producer Curt Bererton said that «Figuring out a core combat that would allow players to defend their towns in interesting ways, while also being a truly fun standalone experience, took a lot of iteration. We prototyped 11 different variants of combat: some were very traditional path-based tower defenses where the zombies did not attack the plants, but we felt this lost some of the appeal of the original game.»  
• Even though Plants vs. Zombies 2 is considered to be the sequel to Plants vs. Zombies, this was the second Plants vs. Zombies game released.
• During the time when the game was first released starting on June 10, 2013, users that play Zuma Blitz (another Facebook game created by PopCap) who try Plants vs. Zombies Adventures will recieve a pack of 25 Zuma Blitz Candy Leis for free.
• PopCap gave the users 100,000 gems as a gift for the game shutting down.
• This is the first game that introduced human characters other than Crazy Dave on-screen.
  • Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is currently the only other game to introduce human NPCs other than Dave
  • However, the Plants vs. Zombies Comics do feature other human characters.
• This is the first, and so far only game, to not have Flag Zombie in it.
• This is the first game not to have Dr. Zomboss in it. He would have most likely appeared had the game not been shut down.
• An art style similar to this game’s was used in an early stage of Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
• One of the Zombie Groans used for this game was used for the Pirate Seas zombies.

About

For more information about this character, see Chomper.

Chomper is obtained by completing Level 1-7. Chomper can devour most types of zombies, instantly killing them in the process. However, after eating an enemy, Chomper will require 42 seconds before he can eat another, making him vulnerable, exposing itself to other zombies’ attacks in the process

When faced with inedible targets such as a Gargantuar or its tougher variant, Chomper will instead attempt to damage them with his bites, dealing 40 damage per shot worth of damage for each bite.

Completing a level using only Sunflower, Wall-nut, and Chomper will grant the player the Nom Nom Nom achievement.

Gameplay

Plants vs. Zombies 2 is a free-to-play game, unlike its predecessor, supporting in-app purchasing of coins in order to utilize certain power up abilities: Plant Food, a new power-up, allows plants to power up for varying amounts of time. Each plant has its own ability when given Plant Food. Players can complete the whole game without purchasing these abilities, some of which can be earned throughout the game instead of being purchased. Additionally, users can level up their plants using Seed Packets (found in-game or bought with real money) to allow them to permanently enhance their abilities.

Players can start an optional tutorial which takes place in front of the player’s house. Afterward, the player travels to Ancient Egypt and can win in-game World Keys by completing Day 6 to unlock a series of additional period settings («worlds»); this required a certain number of stars in earlier updates. As players go through levels, they unlock new plants each with advantages and unique boosts.

Trivia

Art style of Plants vs. Zombies Adventures

• It appears that the art style for this game was originally going to be the one in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, as shown on a beta gameplay photo shown on the right, but ultimately took on a more cartoonish art style resembling the one in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
• The icon of the 1.0.11 update marked the first time where a plant (Green Shadow) was featured on the game’s icon instead of a zombie (Super Brainz).
• The sound effect for gems being added is the same as some sound effects from the Bejeweled series, another game from PopCap.
• As noted by the official website and game description game wise, this is the first mobile game where you can play as both the plants and the zombies.
• Whenever a legendary card is played, the opposing hero will have a shocked or surprised expression different from their hurt or low health expression.
• All of the new playable characters in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 appear in this game as heroes, with the exception of Kernel Corn and Captain Deadbeard, who appear as a legendary fighter and token fighter respectively.
• If your Hero obtains one of his/her superpowers at the beginning, the Super-Blocks later won’t give him/her that superpower again. This means that each superpower can only be used once per game without Thinking Cap, Quazar Wizard, or Bird of Paradise. Interestingly, there are three Super-Blocks available, and one superpower is awarded at the beginning, it means that you can get all four superpowers in a game via a different way.
• When your Hero is low on health (5 or less health), the current theme changes to a suspenseful, drastic one, still keeping the same melody.
  • Similarly, when the battle progresses, as well as when one hero takes some damage, the music will slightly change, usually becoming more suspenseful as the match goes on.
  • If the player has 5 more health than your opponent, then the music will be high pitched. It will be pitched even more higher if the player has 10 more health than your opponent. It will be more dramatic if the player has 10 less health than your opponent.
• When it comes to the cards, most of the plants will be facing right, and all of the zombies will be facing left. This makes sense as plants would look right to shoot at zombies coming in from the right in many of their games.
• In this game, the zombies don’t target brains. Instead, it is used as currency to play zombie cards and tricks, similarly to how brains are used as the zombies’ currency in Versus Mode in Plants vs. Zombies.
• A few classes and a hero have a code name different from their original name:
  • Crazy is mentioned as Madcap.
  • Mega-Grow is mentioned as MegaGro.
  • The Smash is mentioned as Gargantuar.
• If you scroll up in the Collections menu, there is a Wall-Nut hanging upside-down.

Reception

We need more gems and sprouts.
This section is currently under construction. You can help expand it; it’s your choice.

The game received mostly positive feedback from users and critics, despite the use of in-app purchases. Critics mostly praised the gameplay and graphics. It has a Metacritic score of 86/100 based on 36 reviews. PopCap Games announced at Gamescom on August 20, 2013, that the game had been downloaded 15 million times, making it the most successful EA mobile game launch.

Ten days later it was announced that the game had been downloaded 25 million times, exceeding the lifetime downloads of the first game. Apple chose Plants vs. Zombies 2 as a runner-up for 2013 iPhone game of the year. However, many people complain about the several microtransactions the game has, as well as having strange difficulty spikes throughout the adventure mode.

Earlier gameplay

As seen in earlier screenshots of the game, Snow Pea was going to cost 200 sun, Tangle Kelp was going to be a ground plant, and plants were given via conveyor style, but the player still needed sun to plant them. Possibly, players were going to select the rating of getting plants on the conveyor belt.

Also, in October 2007 when the name was «Lawn of the Dead», the progress bar was shorter, the Sunflower costed 100 sun, the sun amount was near the right side of the screen, the lawn was zoomed in more, the lawnmowers were closer to the grass, and Potato Mine cost 50 sun instead of 25 sun and was bigger, as wide as a grass tile. Like the Snow Pea, Chomper originally costed 200 sun, and in an Ice World, the Wall-nut costs 75 sun.

The player can select rarity of plants
