5 Star But: Awesome In (Almost) All Ways…

I love this game and I’ve been playing it for a number of years. Changes over the years with the inclusion of Arena competitions that change every few days and daily challenges, along with the continuous addition of new plants helps to keep things fresh, fun and engaging. I rarely leave reviews anywhere, but a relatively recent glitch has me writing one now. It has to do with playing Arena challenges. Every so often (but often enough that this is really becoming an issue), right in the middle of the game, the app just shuts down and kicks me off of the platform. And what ends up happening then is I lose the gauntlet required to play that game, and also the satisfaction of knowing whether or not I was actually going to win or not. This isn’t a huge issue overall, but it does mean I end up forfeiting a gauntlet when I may not have actually lost, and I also then don’t receive whatever prize I would have received for that game’s win. And as there’s no way to recoup that particular game or gauntlet, it just kind of feels like a rip off, tiny though it is. Over time, those small rip offs add up, you know? And the overall effect is….irritating, to say the least. I wish the developers would address this bug. I’m sure enough money is being made by them without having to nickel and dime loyal players here and there. Then this game would have my full-throated endorsement of a true 5 star game without the caveat in the title.

Sugarcane update

Would you mind making Sugar Cane? Sugar cane is exceptionally tall allowing it to block low flying zombies, dynamite zombie, imp cannon imp, etc. it blows spear-like canes from it’s top dealing 30 damage with a 20% chance to explode with sugar into 3 tiles into 3 lanes in front of where the cane landed, the sugar doing 70 damage and making a crackling sound when a zombie steps on it (sugar doesn’t spawn when a plant is on where the sugar’s supposed to be). Sugar Cane looks like a straight upright bamboo with black eyes and a mouth filled up with air, ready to blow a projectile. His defense is 2,500 and it increases by 200 when leveled up. Base damage of spear-like cane is 30 and upgrades by +5 when leveled up. Sugar damage is 70 and also goes up by +5 whenever leveled up. Recharge is 25 seconds and decreased by -1 when leveled up. Initial sun cost is 250 and goes down by -20 when leveled up to 5, and then 10. You can pick the type but I’d say it’s an Arma-mint type. Description: He likes watching low flying and jumping zombies go head first into his body. Special: exploding sugar goes into 3 tiles into 3 lanes in front of it. Special: blocks jumping zombies, flying zombies, etc. Plant food effect: blows sugar onto every zombie on the lawn, dealing 150 damage and also makes a crackling sound. Seedium plant needing 250 seed packets to get or able to get with money. Thank you for reading this Popcap and all of you.

Amazing game, but..

I love this game. It is super entertaining and I’m kind of addicted. But.. there has been a little bit of problems. 1. Whenever you update the game and add a plant, there is a load data part that takes 10 minutes, which can result in devices overheating and losing battery. 2nd. The game has too much adds, can you make it every 5 levels you get one add? And lastly, the game doesn’t get any new maps added in it. This is making me sad because I wanted plants like scarcely shroom and umbrella leaf to return. But alas, the game is very fun. Also, why is Chomper a premium plant that costs money, but torch wood and hot date are not? That’s kind of weird. Also, can you make snow pea a non- premium? I would say you could put it in the castle map. Also, Star fruit should cost gems, and squash should be buffed. Also, why is laser beam doing more damage than bloomerang when 1. Laser beam can hit every zombie in the game, but bloomerang cant hit the jester or shovel zombie. 2. Laser beam can hit every zombie in one lane, and bloomerang can’t. 3. Laser beam shoots faster than bloomerang. And 4. Laser beam only costs 200 sun for what it does? Why doesn’t bloomerand cost 150, and why doesn’t lazar beam cost 250? Also, Why does tile turnip go all the way up to 10K when I don’t even have it up to one lane yet? And a suggestion: can you make Twin sunflower 100 sun?

Suggestions

So I’m suggesting some updates,plants and zombies for the next update so hope you add them. The first plant I want to be added is called “pea-berg” so it’s a mix of iceberg lettuce and peashooter and it shoots peas and if a zombie steps on it it gets stunned then it explodes and peas go flying in different lanes and make it where there’s a 50% chance of the pea of catching on fire when the zombie explodes and make the pea-burg a apease mint family plant and worth 25 sun The next plant is called “blower” and it blows zombies like hurrikale but after it blows it flings a random zombie off the board and it cost 100 sun and a contain mint family plant So this update I want in the future is called “garden and plantz” and it contains some new zombies. New zombies in the update I want is gardener zombies and cashiers the gardener zombie has a hose that can damage plants but after it reaches 5 tiles it drops it hose because the hose reaches it’s max distance. And the cashier zombies can have a cash register that they can smash the plants with and it has a 50% chance to drop coins and there can be customer zombies that appear only if the cashier zombie appears and a new plant is called “potato cannon. and it takes a random zombies after 10 seconds after eating it and uses the zombies head as a cannon ball. A zombie that I want to return is pogo zombie and zomboni.

BEST game ever!!

This is the best game I’ve ever played.😄 I’m pretty picking when it comes to mobile games but, this game is a great strategy game that takes some thinking to strategize a good win. Now I’ve read some reviews about the game being to hard but, this game has ways around the...for example fishermen zombie just use the infi-nut power up and it covers all the lanes from the fisherman hooks from killing the plants. If you like fun games that you never get bored of, or a games with tons of plants to collect and zombies to kill, and 12 whole maps to beat, with and tons of game modes and daily activity than this game is for you. Now if you are a giver upper and get upset because you can’t beat a level the first try and are losing because of the fisherman zombies than this game isn’t for you. This game takes a good amount of time to complete but when is over you just want to play it all over again but don’t worry there’s still penny’s pursuit, and the arena which are super fun and you can still collect plants from. I don’t usually write reviews but this game deserves it and I’ve been enjoying this game ever since this game came out, I just love it . So download the game and you won’t be sorry, and thanks to the people who made this amazing game. God bless.🥳

game is great, only writing this review for one thing.

Fisherman zombies. The worst zombie in the game. PvZ is supposed to be a fun tower defense game and having a strategy to deal with zombies with mechanics. Most zombies are bearable, the torch zombie and shovel zombie can sometimes be annoying but have their weaknesses. Gargantuars are easy enough. But the fisherman. It doesn’t make the game any more fun, and it doesn’t even feel good to beat the level with the horrid amount of fisherman zombies because you’re so stressed out by their stupid mechanics. They’re just so dumb, literally. It’s so hard to defeat them, because in beach there are tons of zombies blocking your plants from attacking them, and tangled kelp helps a bit but there are sometimes more than 5 all the time, and the kelp can’t take them all. And you always use your single use plants to defend your plants with the zombies upfront, but you end up losing because you didn’t defeat those stupid fisherman zombies. If I waste my cherrybomb to attack a group of fisherman in the back, the bucket head swarm gets my plants and I lose. I don’t have the jalapeño, and it wouldn’t even work because it only gets a single lane of fisherman zombies. I don’t expect you to remove the zombie, maybe not change it at all, but I just want to voice my opinion on how it ruins the game experience for me. But I still have arena so I guess this is alright 😔

PvZ 2 you are the best game over the past years I’ve been playing

Make a new Map please also I played this game for five years after money after money after money spent on that hard work y’all say let’s make this update. We just delete everybody’s progress like you don’t understand how much work I put try to get that make P and all those paid ones I did my best to get them all. I love this game with all my heart love of God. You did not have to do everybody that dirty. If your account was also deleted please tell please tell the pop cat cause they need to give everybody their account back cause I had to start again I’m already in frostbite caves cause I’m a Mr. stay up all night play the game all night so I kind of just had there in one day but still I want my camera back for the love of God, get us a new map. It’s been modern day forever now like come on bro. How about you bring back the PvZ one apps thousand that’s pretty good. I’ll take it or the Chinese PvZ bring those maps and the English PvZ, the USA. can we also stop adding all the original plants no, I’m not talking about. Don’t add them but stop making them 250 leets to get or you have to pay $20 for it because my kid always wants it and I can’t keep buying him every single time it’s hard to do

My progress got deleted (it’s not your fault)

I was playing pirate seas and finally beat the boss battle, but the game crashed and my progress was ALL GONE. It’s not your fault though popcap, my ipad crashes all the time. I’m really angry that my progress is gone though. Also, I’d really like a new Cold War themed world. Basically, it’s a lot like the fog levels from pvz 1, having toxic gases on 1 half of the screen. The gases can’t be planted on, but there could be some sort of plant that gets rid of it (blover also only gets rid of 1 row of gas) there could also be some mutant plants (like the primal plants from Jurassic marsh) there could also be a gas mask zombie, who can’t be damaged unless eating a plant. Also I’d like you to bring back doom shroom (in the new world or as an arena plant)or a gas shroom, which makes one tile of insta-killing gas for a few seconds. Also I’m still salty about my progress so I’m giving you 3 stars. Edit:I found out that since Id unlocked all the worlds already, the new update made my progress get deleted, since now to unlock a world, I need to beat the previous world. Also I gave you back 1 star :) +cool plant idea: weeping willow, makes one water tile where it’s planted and slaughter lily, who can eat 3 zombies before chewing, must be planted on water too. could maybe come in an Ancient Rome world
