Memory Lane Level 9 (Hard) Season 13 - Horrible Level Design Ep. 10

[@taghreedali1948]

I’m convinced that the PvZC team is just fans of the game that don’t know game design works

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

Funny that the PvZ equivalent of SMM “Little Timmy” levels are made by the devs unironically.

[@BunnyJolf]

So like mod creators

[@miimiiandco]

I honestly think that statement might have some truth to it!

[@UlyssesK402]

You'd convince me Earth is flat before you disprove this statement beyond a shadow of the doubt. (Edit: To clarify, I'm strongly inclined to agree with the original statement.)

Hey Flag Zombie, I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate your content, like every other one of your subscribers. You earned them all. PVZ2 stands pretty near my heart as a 2006 kid, I remember watching people like Zackscott play the game and listening to the old UB and demonstration minigame music gleefully. Nowadays, it's much more stale, but your content has sort of reignited the spark of which started to become snuffed out with the content being released for the game. I'm really grateful for your content.

[@otienat9974]

8:10 Here is the little fun fact: Jack-in-the-box Zombie when first-released has glitch that if you hypnotize him he will crash the game when he encounter non-hypnotized zombie.

[@bbboi9127]

I feel like the main problem with all these levels are the objectives. You have really specific ones like the kill zombies with melon pult while you’re facing a level that’s already hard to survive on its own. Plus there’s a timer so better no waste to much time!

[@UlyssesK402]

And the fabric of reality apparently becomes less stable as the timer ticks down. Wormholes relocate your plants, portals spawn more zombies, and a black hole relocates and possibly even kills your plants. ...do we really need that?

[@Rito20]

I've got this sneaking suspicion that memory lane might not be very good

[@carljohnson7582]

it's funny how they brought back Jack in The Box Zombie, even though the game already has TWO counterparts to him (Exploding Zombie and Furnace Zombie) but ig nostalgia over making sense amirite?

[@angvunguyen3662]

What is even more funny is that the new jack in the box doesn't have the "Huh" sound when about to explode, while exploding zombie has it

[@randomgapper]

Amazing Content as always

[@Ermonacodimontagna]

In this season there is also a level that spams Gargantuas (i believe it's the third) and another one where you have to kill zombies with boom balloon which were really awful and would make for some cool episodes

[@64Bullseye]

I KNEW this level was going to show up in this series. Explode-o-nuts are pretty decent as they can damage the tents and stall for the jack in the boxes. Paired with vase-pult the tents don’t last long. (But the melon-pult objective is flat out stupid tho) Besides this (and level 8) This was probably one of the easier hard mode seasons, as I managed to get the glory days, extreme challenge and crazy trip achievements from this one season. (Also magnet shrooms DO NOT work on Jack in the boxes anymore)

[@hovinhhao5235]

Well Jack-in-a-box Zombies r lvl 3 and 4 while Magnet-shroom is lvl 1, and u know what happens right?

[@64Bullseye]

​@@hovinhhao5235Yeah. I completely forgot that was a thing. However, knowing the devs, they probably made them immune to magnet. Is there a level in normal mode where jack in the boxes are level 1?

[@hovinhhao5235]

8:30 The game didn't registered the existence of that zombie when he had just come out of the tent, hence Jalapeno did nothing to him. This one is related to coding , as the object didn't appear despite having showing up animation. Edit: I realized that he talked about the one got stuck in Gumnut's gum. Then I have no clue.

I guess If there's one silver lining, the level with the Boom Balloon Flowers was actually a dope puzzle stage. I wonder If that was a level yoinked from the Creative Courtyard, and given objectives in here, because I'm pretty sure a requirement to be a Hard Memory Lane level is to be bullshit. Oh well, at least there was *a* good level.

Couldn't have you used Hurrikale instead of Blover since Hurrikale kills bug zombies in one lane and also pushes zombies back?

I think the hypnotized Jack in the box dont take damage because of gumnut

This is probably the most brainf**k level I have ever seen on your channel so far. And no, not even the one with tants spawning Gargs. I doubt that Turkey Pult could have been useful here because of the Melon-Pult objective.

Turkey-pult specializes in dealing with gargs (regardless of their level) as it can spawn another turkey by the time the previous one is destroyed, but high level regular zombies? I don't think that'll go well, especially when the said zombies are faster than usual. sup Lightbolt :p

[@MrMariosonicman]

At this point. It might as well be called "horrible memory lane hard design" this shows up so frequently.

[@wronger-wrongest]

Correct me if I am wrong, but this one looks kind of nitpicky. Zombies were plentiful and had high health so that you are forced to use instas, they were small and fast so that you are forced to use stalling, and there is melon kills objective so you are forced to use attackers - seems like balanced challenge to me. And it looked like there were several moments, when using plant food on melon instead of using insta plant would net many kills. Also, to the points of "you have to do something specific", "you have to use something specific", "it's too hard", - isn't that literally how challenging strategy game is supposed to be?

[@forcedexcess26]

How is something like this allowed in a video game?

[@giftedphotonbee5220]

At this rate, just put all of hard memory lane’s levels on this series. Every single one on here looks like they didn’t test it AT ALL.

[@jessetime159]

This is why I prefer the Penny's Pursuit and Arena in PVZ2 Vanilla because at least it doesn't force the player to complete the objectives to beat the levels and it makes them optional.
