Foggin' hell

Gillan believes that darkness and rooftops can be even more severe, but progress can be simplified by using certain plants. He explains that in foggy conditions, it is possible to use night plants. "Pumpkin-protected planters are your best friend because they definitely help you see." Use this, for example. The blower will get you out of the fog, but it takes 100 suns to buy one plant. "

In the levels with roofs, most of the plants you've used so far will no longer be needed. That's why you'll need to build your strategy around control plants, such as remote cabbages, remote cores, and remote melons.

Level 5 on the roofs is one of the hardest in the game, because the zombies bite off two rows. Protect them with pumpkins and hit them with some cherry bombs. It's very effective when you're like, "Damn, I need to destroy some zombies quickly!"

Additional pursuits

Adventure mode is considered the flagship mission of Plants vs Zombies, but there are things to light up and Zomboss Medic to defeat, as well as your flora. The iPad has an unlimited survival mode, and Gillan's writing advocates "stocking up on plants before you start the game," adding that the plants you can buy from Crazy Dave are pretty useful here.

He also recommends three mini-games in the "Other Game Modes" section.

I, Zombie: A puzzle mode where you plant zombies instead of plants. Aim for the sunflowers first and watch out for mushroom magnets and trippers. If the plants get in the way and don't go as planned, use zombies on the bungee.

Vase Smasher: Smash the vases here and each one will produce a plant or a zombie. But you'll need some luck. Victory still comes down to a balanced defense - don't place plants in the middle and don't break too many vases at once. Don't forget that the pumpkin is a great defender, as it has the ability to kill several zombies and Gargantuars! Get exciting news, reviews, insights, tech deals and more.

Slot Machine: Another mini-game is somewhat more luck focused. In the "Slot Machine" you are given a task in the shape of a sun, but you need 25 suns for one spin. In the Slot Machine you can get a pair (or more) of plants. Plant a sunflower and a pea sprout at the back and protect them with nuts hanging on the wall. Then stop the rotation and start collecting sunflowers.
