PSA: Plants vs Zombies 2 is now released for Android today!

Again, whenever you spend sun, the timer resets, yes? (you don't disqualify)

Oh, for some reason I was under the impression that you couldn't spend from the start of the round. Heh, well, I got through the 30 and 60 second ones just waiting it out at the begining.

I was wrong about the sun production challenge. It's when it's produced, not collected or used. Having the double flowers is the key to getting stars.

i tell you what. the pirate level starts to get challenging about half way through. lots of tense rounds and all around much better than Egypt. The wild west looks like its going to be interesting too.

Lot more micro in those levels, having to move the carts. Also the tracks take up tiles, so you get flexibility with the carts but lose tiles.

For me, this game was immensely fun in the first 5 hours I played it.

1. Awesome plant seed mechanic that supercharge your plant.

2. You can spend it on DPS OR on sunflower that gives you massive gold early = massive snowballing economy later. Interesting choices (actually getting more sun is 10x better).

3. Awesome endless level arena.

But then I stopped lot of the urge to play today because...

1. Game is just too easy, even all the way to Act III. As long as you do seed on sunflower asap + maintain about 5-8 double sunflowers, it's too easy.

2. After playing endless level arena which is VERY fun (I'm at level 15 now, insane), the regular 'adventure' levels became very very disappointingly easy.

3. The earning extra star repeat levels were still fun early. But now they're just tedious, repetitive, and gotten easy.

I see people getting to level 20, even 30+ on endless arena. That's INSANE. That's the only challenge I have left now.

I have about 25,000 coins that I earned naturally. I still feel like using it is cheating.

I really liked the first game and when I heard they were going with the free to play, with in-app purchase model I thought the game was going to really suck. However, I have to say I think they found a pretty good balance.

I am going to revise my statement. I have been playing off and on for awhile now. The Egypt level went pretty well. Some grinding to get the required keys to open up the area fully but not too bad.

However, in the pirate level, it has become extremely monotonous. Keys have been very slow in coming and I find myself playing levels multiple times hoping a key will pop up. As has been mentioned, some of spots are rather tough as well.

I can't decide if/how much money I want to spend on the game. But if you try to keep it free, its gets boring pretty fast.

They was a big patch last week and they changed a few things. Biggest changes:

1. changed the map. One long string now. No keys.
2. Each sun has a value of 50 instead of 25.
3. Introduced boss units that take multiple plant food (leaves) to defeat.

I noticed the patch. Immediately I did not like the change in the map. I liked the original path better. Never paid attention to the change in value of 50 vs 25. Still a lot of fun for me, pretty much the only game that holds my interest long that I play on the tablet.

I know I recently got it on my android

New content added. Not the 4th level but a boss fight at the end of each level.

Did EA do something with the lawnmowers in the endless matches?

Did EA do something with the lawnmowers in the endless matches?

From what I read they made it so that lawnmowers were 1 time use and you'd have to buy them again. I don't know all the details as I just avoided this game from the start since it was F2P. I would have purchased it day one if it was a normal game

Wtf with the boss battles, I beat the one on the 1st world and the other 2 are showing 24/25 but the boss levels aren't showing a boss. I beat the boss day 1 of the update. Since then I've checked every few days. Only thing that's changed was I was able to fight the 1st world boss a 2nd time.

This is the first real game I've played on a smart phone, and I don't get the love.

I did love the first game on PC, but on a phone it is hard to see anything while both my thumbs are running all over the screen grabbing sun and coins (4.5" screen). Probably just me, but I also can't consistently hit the plants on the left side of the screen, so I'm wasting 2 seconds every time I want to place a plant.

Would much rather have it on the PC and use a mouse; and while I'm dreaming - as a paid game with no micro transactions.

 

[amanoai]

I've never played PvZ or PvZ2 on a smart phone. PvZ on a NDS and that was easy due to the fine pointing stylus pen. PvZ2 on a tablet and that is easy due to the larger display. On a smartphone with fingers, it really isn't an ideal situation.

I agree, the way PvZ2 came out one at a time on different systems is a pain. I'm guessing it's how they want to milk the maximum amount of money from each roll out.

im not seeing boss fights for the 2nd or 3rd worlds either. assuming just not coded/released yet.

playing on a tablet, enjoyable experience
