Capture The Flag Zombie | Plants VS. Zombies Challenge

[@saladbucket2528]

I think the coolest thing about this "keep the zombie alive" challenge series is that it effectively extends the horde theme. I'm tired of the music ramping up and getting to the good parts only to immediately die back down once a few zombies are picked off.

[@Xenorvya]

And the worst thing about the "keep the zombie alive" challenge series is the darned crunching noise of the Zombies.

[@zekedia2223]

To be perfectly fair to the zombie here, he is constantly shoving more plant matter into his mouth, so he’s cursed to eat with his mouth open

I love how kind you were to those flag zombies! Not only did you let them live in the middle of your defenses but also you gave them a nice snack consisting of nuts and pumpkins with a hint of sunflower and potato! And then you left them to die an excruciating death...

Challenge: Every time you want to plant, have a random number generator give you the row and column of a tile. Either plant in that tile, or roll again in hopes of getting a better one. Just be careful not to reroll too much, since the zombies won't wait for you to get the perfect spot.

Challenge ideas - Do a challenge where you trap a football zombie (survival day) - use only insta-kill plants (survival fog) - don’t kill the first 1 - 5 zombie(s) that come in (survival pool, depending how hard u want to make it) - put all plants in pumpkins (survival day, As long as all plants are the pumpkin at some point, it’s aloud) - peashooter as the only attacking plant (survival roof, insta kills aloud or not depending how hard u want it)

Challenge: The amount of offensive/defensive plants you have on the field has to be the same amount of sunflowers/twin sunflowers you have planted. So, 1 sunflower/twin sunflower = 1 other plant (pumpkins and lillypads count as one plant, along with coffee beans and other one-time use plants) Complete this on survival pool-hard. If you want to add to it, count upgraded plants as two, or just don't use them.

Hey can you make a video about the cool details of pvz2 like the special death animations or about how a zombie can die mid garlic and die middle or get frozen middle of lane or that when you place a squash on a pot the zombie starts eating the squash and when the squash is going up the zombie starts eating the pot for a little bit before the squash comes down and squishes the zombie(or even how the coffee bean activates after the coffee bean's animation finishes not when placed or how a newspaper zombie's glasses fall off when killed and the head is a normal zombie but for pogo's the glasses fall off but the hair stays or when screen door zombies are killed by something that doesn't hit the door like a fume shroom the screen door still looks like it's damaged form on death, or how water zombies thaw out faster from ice shrooms or how torchwoods clear away a bit of fog or how jack in the box zombies when they lose their box they still rotate their hands or how when magnet shrooms take buckethead buckets they stay damaged or even more obvious things like unique sounds(bucketheads, balloons, etc) and how some plants have different looks on their stages of how much has been eaten and how imitated plants have a tinge to them and how fire plants and torchwood thaw out frozen zombies.

WARNING THIS IS A SERIES CHALLENGE ! Day 27 of my idea: you can only use the plants that you get from the zen garden! The concept: u can only use 16 plant pots (in the zen garden) to plant in and whatever u get in those 16 plant pots are the only plants u can use in ur deck! (u are allowed to use lily pads). If this happens: if u get multiple of the same plants (in the zen garden) you can shovel it up and replant it with new plant's. Plus: No lawnmowers or shovel can be used and u have to get a new set of plants from the zen garden each week . THE SERIES BIT: If u decide to do this challenge then every week u have to post this challenge until u complete it. What I mean is: u have to make a video on this once a week, and play the game Survival hard in order. The order: 1: Survival day hard. 2: Survival night hard. 3: Survival pool hard. 4: Survival fog hard. 5: Survival roof hard.

One quick question, Is there a reason you chose to use a sunflower over a sunshroom? I've always found it more useful to plant two sunshrooms at the start considering you have the option to.

Do this challenge: Covid rules, a zombie can't be on the same tile as plants nor can any plant receive direct contact objects thatcame from the zombies. That means no plants can get damaged, no plant can be beside the digger, no plant can instakill a zombie if they are together, and no plant can touch the bungee zombie. Digging with the shovel is required if this is to work I think.
