Plants vs Zombies Tips
Check out our walkthrough for
Plants vs Zombies.
Walkthrough notes
The key to help with this game, is not a straight-forward go here, go
there, like with Hidden Object-games or Adventure-games. Instead, I'll
give you some helpful strategy basics, the pros and cons of of your
plants, a strategy against the different zombies, and tips on the extra
puzzles and mini-games.
The times in this walkthrough are given in patches, which stand for the
amount of patches an average zombie walks; this comes down to about 5
seconds per patch.
Besides Gamezebo wisdom, at the end of the walkthrough, you will find tips and tricks from the Tree of Wisdom.
Easter Eggs – funny extras
Type in the following codes during gameplay to activate them. Type them
in again, to de-activate them. For some of the Easter eggs, your tree of
wisdom needs to be a certain height, but often (not always, sorry if
you are unlucky), you will be able to turn the Easter eggs on at any
point.
-
”future” - the zombies wear retro sunglasses
-
”mustache” - the zombies get a mustache
-
”trickedout” - a visual upgrade of the lawnmowers
- "sukhbir" - toggles the zombie's call for brains sound
-
”pinata” - a shower of candy when a zombie dies (tree of wisdom at 500 feet)
-
”daisies” - flowers sprout from fallen zombies (tree of wisdom at 100 feet)
- "dance" - makes the zombies dance (tree of wisdom at 1,000 feet)
Basic strategy – sun production
From the go, you will want to start planting as many Sunflowers (or
Sun-shrooms at night) as you can. In general, your aim should be to
plant around 10 to 12 sunflowers total.
Situation: A zombie approaches, and I must choose to plant an attack plant, or another sunflower.
Your choice depends on how far away the zombie is, and your current amount of suns. The image below shows you an example.
In the pool-level, you will be rewarded with a Twin Sunflower, which will produce two suns at once.
Do not plant this untill you have planted all the sunflowers you are going to, since the extra costs can be better used.
While you can use sunflowers at night, their extra costs don't weigh up
to the initial extra sun production, so it's best to use just sunflowers
during the day, and just sun-shrooms during the night.
Basic strategy – deciding upon your arsenal
At the start of each new level, you can choose which plants you want to choose.
On the right side of the screen, you will see which zombies you will encounter in this level.
