Not only that, once you watch the ad it immediately activates and rides onto the lawn even if there’s no zombies

For some reason, the HD iPad version DOES have all 5 lawnmowers, so they are strictly targeting mobile phones

That’s because HD stopped getting support, which means it’s safe from crappy updates.

[@EduardoFerreira-yi4qc]

people always seem to forget about these details: they made survival endless be more unfair in only 8 flags and make gargantuars be stupid aggresive, almost to the point that 30+ flags would be one of the most brutal achievements if it existed. the lucky spin achievement, i don't need to say more because it's the worst designed achievement that i've seen in a game designed for everyone. they randomly removed ultimate battle songs at some point in 2023 for no reason other than "memory". horde variations and zombies in your lawn have been missing for years now. they're now making players be bombarded with "cRaZy DaVe No AdS pAcK". can't quit a single time on a level or zen garden without getting ads.

Remember that George Fan has NOTHING to do with Popcap as EA fired him for disagreeing with extra purchases and decisions like THIS. He predicted the downfall of his own games 3 years before it started happening.

[@fedpostah]

Fun fact: one of PvZ's latest games made $18,772,990.25 in gross revenue, so if you're not pirating the game to "help the developers", you can start pirating it now.

As a person with OCD those missing lawnmowers are pissing me off

[@fatedreal]

This is why I only play the console editions (xbox and ds) they don't get updated to be worse

[@dobichngoc3386]

Fact: On PC, the Achievement are super easy, because you can play minigames and puzzles for free, even have the "infinite money glitch" to doing "Towering Wisdom" achievement. All cost nearly 300 000 coins (count the "buy all the plants" achievement too) But on Mobile we have to buy every SINGLE MINIGAMES to PLAY IT!! Each game cost nearly 15000 COINS. And the puzzle? We have to spend 300000 GOLD/coins for BOTH I, Zombie and Vase Breaker. And we also have an extra PUZZLE, Lastand, cost 100 000 COINS. WE also have some EXTRA ACHIEVEMENT for *almost* EVERY MINIGAMES. Like: beat "Columm like you see 'em" without using Jalapeno😳 OR: get 3 DIAMONDS on "Slot Machine"💀 AND EVEN: Get all Day, Night, Aquatic plants🙄... IN ZENGARDEN💀💀💀

[@Everett-Ev]

[@Owen-sh4jj]

I think the worse part is that it's an ad rather than locking it behind an upgrade (like roof and pool cleaners) Obviously that would've been scummy too, but it would've been permanent after purchasing. They really expect you to watch Ads EVERY SINGLE level for a basic feature

[@yoshi_wa_yoshiyuki217]

The game came first out for PC and was designed for PC what you mean is that he wanted to bring up to the DS after the PC version but couldn't you mixing up something go on the PVZ Wikipedia page read it yourself if you don't believe me

[@TNT_Golem]

​@Grtghjeojegii wrong, George Fan whanted to create a version of Insanaquarium for the Nintendo DS, and that eventually became the PC version of PvZ, wich eventually got ported to both the DS (cartredge) and the DSi Eshop (no longer exists :( ...)

[@UnknownBoiOrUB]

The worst part is that it doesn’t have the tree of wisdom

[@Imslandar]

Plus when you start out, that LITTLE bit of money from unlaunched lawnmowers is used to buy extra seed slots, which will now likely make you have to play a few extra levels, which are now a bit harder thanks to having less plants.

[@Johnlino_YT]

Sweats: we dont need extra Lawnmower 💀

[@epiccomiccomedy]

ngl I see this as an extra lil challenge. turning off mobile data and wifi prevent those extra ad lawnmowers from even showing up, so you gotta mix up your plant layout a bit to protect those empty areas a bit more.

So I bought No Ads from the shop for PVZ 1 mobile a while back, and I booted it up recently just to play a quick game only to be met with an ad. I already thought that was odd, then I saw the advertisement for Crazy Dave’s No Ads pack. I clicked on the store, select restore purchases because I knew I purchased no ads a while ago, yet it found nothing, my purchase apparently didn’t mean anything and I needed to buy no ads again, lovely

I just started replaying PvZ mobile after a year or two of not playing. This happened a couple days before I started again. However, you don't need lawnmowers if the zombies never get to the end of the lawn. I haven't failed a level ever so I'm good, but new players might struggle.

[@Short_Snake24]

I play The free mobile version of plants versus zombies and yeah, it has a lot of problems. In order to unlock the mini games you need to watch an ad. And on top of that if you wanna play the two puzzle modes, iZombie, or Vase Breaker, then you need 150,000 coins. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
