Zombies Approaching: PvZ Review and Survival Endless Tips

A tower defense game made by Popcap Games that hit the computer on May 2009. It's highly addictive and won a lot of awards. Its concept of using plants to fight against zombies is cute and unique. It has been released in a number of consoles like the XBox and the iPhone. The theme is really cute and catchy. When you finish the adventure part, you can watch the video sung by a Sunflower. Playing the game is really fun. I had a hard time getting off the game.

I enjoyed playing the Mini Games, Puzzle Mode, and the Survival Mode. In the Puzzle Mode, you can play as the zombies. In the Mini Games, you can play PvZ versions of Insaniquarium and Bejeweled. You can also play bowling PvZ style. The Survival Mode's Survival Endless is the most difficult(obviously). There are different ways players use to have a high number of flags. I admit that the way I played the game I got from the internet.

What I did was at the first and 2nd flag, I used 2 Sunflowers (1 was the Imitator), Twin Sunflower, Coffee Bean, Fumeshroom, Gloomshroom, Lilypad, Cattail, Pumpkin, and Potato Mine. I filled the 6 spaces with Sunflowers but only upgraded 2nd and 5th row, 3rd and 4th column, and also the 3rd row 5th and 6th column, and the 4th row 5th column Sunflowers to Twin Sunflowers. I used the Potato Mine to beat the zombies early in the level. Once I placed half the Sunflowers, except in the 3rd and 4th row 1st column, I placed Cattails in those places.
Now when I have enough money, I place, in order, Fumeshrooms, then Pumpkin, then Coffee Bean, and then the Gloomshrooms. Keep in mind that I placed them in the water. The first ones I placed in the 2nd to the last column then, I placed them in the last column. then the 3rd to the last. You should now have only 1 space in the water. Then you can put Pumpkins in the Twinflowers and the open space(put a Lilypad in the open space)....

OK, even I'm getting a hard time to understand this. hahahaha
How about if I show it to you this way:
S- Sunflowers T- Twin Sunflowers F-Fumeshrooms G- Gloomshrooms [ ]- Pumpkin
L- Lilypad C- Cattail _- open space

At the first flag, it should more or less look like this:
S S S S S _ _ __  __
S S S S S _ _ __ __
C C L L _ _ F [G] [G]
L L L L _ _ F [G] [G]
S S S S S _ _ __ __
S S S S S _ _ __ __
At the second flag, it should look like this:
S F S S S S __ __ __
S F [T] [T] S S __ __ __
C C S S [T] [T] [G] [G] [G]
S S S S [T] [L] [G] [G] [G]
S F [T] [T] S S __ __ __
S F S S S S __ __ __
*Notice I only placed the Pumpkin on the upgraded plants and the Lilypad. Look at the next step.
At the next round, you need M- Melonpult, W- Wintermelon, _- Spikeweed,= Spikerock, Magnetshroom, g- Gold Magnet, [ ]- 2 Pumpkin, Gloomshrooms, Cherrybomb

At the third flag, it should look like this:
[W] F M M M [S] == __
[W] G [T] [T] S S == __
C C S S [T] [T] [G] [G] [G]
S S S S [T] [g] [G] [G] [G]
[W] G [T] [T] S S == __
[W] F M M M [S] == __
At the fourth flag, it should look like this:
[W] G [W] [W] [M] [M] == ==
[W] G [T] [T] S S == ==
C C S S [T] [T] [G] [G] [G]
S S S S [T] [g] [G] [G] [G]
[W] G [T] [T] S S == ==
[W] G [W] [W] [M] [M] == ==
At the next round, you need K- Kernelpult, CCCC- Cob Cannon, Lilypad, 2 Pumpkin, Spikeweed, Spikerock, Wintermelon, Cherrybomb, Jalapeno

At the fifth flag, it should look like this:
[W] [G] [W] [W] [W] [M] == ==
[W] [G] [T] [T] CCCC == ==
C C K K [T] [T] [G] [G] [G]
S S S S [T] [g] [G] [G] [G]
[W] [G] [T] [T] CCCC == ==
[W] [G] [W] [W] [W] [M] == ==
*Notice that I didn't place the Cob Cannon at the 2 Kernelpults, it's because either I ran out of Sun or it's cooling down.

At the sixth flag, it should look like this:
[W] [G] [W] [W] [W] [W] == ==
[W] [G] [T] [T] CCCC == ==
C C CCCC [T] [T] [G] [G] [G]
K K CCCC [T] [g] [G] [G] [G]
[W] [G] [T] [T] CCCC == ==
[W] [G] [W] [W] [W] [W] == ==

In the end it basically should look like this:
[W] [G] [W] [W] [W] [W] == ==
[W] [G] [T] [T] CCCC == ==
CCCC CCCC [T] [T] [G] [G] [G]
CCCC CCCC [T] [g] [G] [G] [G]
[W] [G] [T] [T] CCCC == ==
[W] [G] [W] [W] [W] [W] == ==

To maintain this, you need: Spikeweed, Spikerock, 2 Pumpkins, Cherrybomb, Jalapeno, Squash, Coffee Bean, Iceshroom, and Blover.

That's all the zombies I can take. Til next time... :]
