When an April Fools' Event goes too far | PvZ Reflourished

In this video, I play every level of the 2024 N3xt G3n Collab thymed event from the Plants vs. Zombies Reflourished mod. This event includes a massive 30 levels and a massive amount of trolling...

This video was actual hell to put out because of all the copyrighted songs used in the event. Since I didn't want to render the video for a third time, from 27:36 to 31:24, I had to replace the song in the KZbin Studio and, since I can't adjust the volume there, it's a bit louder than the rest of the audio, so be aware of that. So enjoy "Don't Fret" by Quincas Moreira for that small section instead. EDIT: Got some more strikes for you, so if there's some random small moments without any audio, that's why. Thanks KZbin, very cool.

Penny was right to get out of there at level 17, because then the quality just dies.

[@LVNo13]

Explain some of the quiz (i guess) V1: - 2+3=5: basic math - LTE = Limited Thyme Event (maybe). Answer = the level (13) - Palendromic Number: Numbers which remain the same when it digits are reversed (ex: 12321) so first two number thats are not 1 digit is 11,22. Sum = 33 - Coordinate: use last 2 hint (first 2 i have no idea :v). Count the number of tiles from left to right, start from the upmost lane = 10. V2 - x+y-22: count the number placement on x and y (not Y) tiles, we got x = 12, y = 29. Sum = 19 - 2Y + great blablabla: just like the previous one but this time is Y tile and the "idk shape" tile. Y = 9 and Shape = 18. Sum = 36 (which is the 3x tile since x = 12 :v) - Circle: circumference = 2πr (r is radius, = 0.5 diameter) = πd. Circumference divided by diameter = πd/d = π = 3.14, round down to 3 - What Douglas said: just remember what he said at lv3: answer to number 10 is 17 :)

[@dweibox0073]

About the circumference one: There was no need to round down 3.14 (pi), as on the tile marked 3 there was a small image of a pie (which is supposed to mean the number pi). Anyways nice comment, I literally didn't understand most of the x + y stuff lol

The Bloomerang costume is based on Vi from Bug Fables, a Paper Mario-inspired RPG. It's also the bee that carried various zombies. In Bug Fables her main attack is boomerang, that explains the plant costume.

[@mememan7180]

I personally find this event humorous mostly because of how out of pocket it is. And it really stretches the game to it's limits with the amount of characters who speak to you for example. And don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying that the squidward house fight was created entirely in the level! There's no file for the zombot! Obviously it's humor is pretty bad and the levels can also be pretty bad but I'm alright with that. At the end of the day it's just a goofy April fools joke.

For those unaware, the costume at the end is a reference to Vi from Bug Fables who's a bee that uses a boomerang.

[@IncoisaRadio87]

This strikes me as one of those things where it was intended to end a lot earlier than it did, but the devs just continued having terrible ideas they wanted to add and they just started piling up... Honestly if there is one thing they could've done that would've made the entire boss fight 10x funnier is if for the final phase they brought Unexpectancy Part 3 after 7 different phases of other final boss themes.

I mean, I'm a guy who can enjoy something made to be bad, but like, there's a limit. I feel like if they removed even just 5 of the levels in the second half of the event, including one of the quiz ones, it would be the perfect amount of shenanigans. The way it is is just a bit too much.

[@anglecringe6917]

Yeah I think they were trying way too hard for just some jokes and giggles they overstayed their welcome real bad

I think the boomerang costume is Vi from Bug Fables, brown boomerangs and whatnot Either way, even with the Gen Z humor that I have, even WATCHING this is a slog, I can’t imagine playing it!

I'd like to see the FNAF part of the Event as its own April Fools Event. But yeah, they should've stuck with the PVZ 3 jokes and saved stuff like Breaking Bad and FNAF for other April Fools Events, like they did with Spongebob last year.

[@Autumnityyyy]

1:51:00 The costume is a reference to Vi from Bug Fables, the reason shes on Bloomerang is because in the BF, her weapon is a boomerang dubbed the "Beemerang" She's the bee you see carrying zombies in day 26!

[@adrianalban7212]

I initially thought this event was just a collaboration with pvz3 and the level was normal but when I got to level 11 onwards it turned out this was an April Fools event and the level was really absurd Levels 13 and 21 are the levels that I hate the most because I have to answer questions that suck. The problem is I can't answer them and I always get the answer wrong so I have to keep repeating the level until it's finished.

[@tombraiserzombie2581]

This is basically the equivalent of memes vs machines for pvz2

[@QuiteDemistrious]

[@longfork4177]

Two things: 1) If you hear the music of the third phase of the final level, you can hear Unexpectancy 2) The fifth phase is likely a reference to Dogma from The Binding of Isaac. Dogma is one of the final bosses of the game. It is “the embodiment of christian broadcasts” and in the game it spawns with a TV, which explains why the boss became a TV version of itself and why computerheads were summoned

[@KraylebStudios]

The PvZ3 collab would have been enough but they did indeed take it too far. Good job on sticking it out!

[@AnonChuck.ObjectShowViewer]

9:24 Totally disagree, because PvZ 3 cannot hold more than 5 seed packets at time, and here is 6 seed packets. P.S. Also, Reflourished devs, if they will notice this (they won't, but still): please, don't listen to what Flag Zombie tell about this event. He didn't knew April Fools supposed to be unfunny, so I expect longer and unfunnier April Fools Event at 2025.

[@Mamuttean]

In my own thinking, I believe the joke is that all of these 30 levels are well, a joke of a level. The "funny" is how your sanity and determination to keep going forward prevails just for these horrible levels. If you laugh at the jokes, good but that's not what this was going for. (But that's just a theory, a Reflourished theory)

They should have just stuck to one thing for this, honestly. If you want to end on a ridiculous boss fight, that's fine, but it'd be a lot funnier if every other part of it was taken seriously. And if they just focused on doing one thing, rather than just doing several things at once... and it was way too long for its own good in any case.

As a person who has played April Fools PvZ2 AltverZ levels, I will say this - the levels there are more difficult and worse than in Reflourished. And it's only by the middle of this event that the levels are already beginning to approach April Fools. So the levels of Reflourished April Fools are not so difficult yet. But the crazy ones are for sure.

[@Nar31]

I wish they did more with some of their things; the FNAF stuff was like 3 total levels and 2 dudes. The PVZ3 stuff was amazing at first then became dry. I did notice they made this event a lot easier than last year’s SpongeBob Age, at least. The breaking bad stuff felt like a side story they never finished, and the fact some levels were just big loud funny unlike last year where every level was actually coherent was disappointing. I always love Reflourished’s April fools, and this year had some decent jokes and some great music, but last year’s gameplay was far superior. The quiz stages were definitely buzz kills for the whole event, and I wish piano zombies didn’t exist on stage 29 since it kinda just ruins the banger. Stage 30 was the worst level by far though from personal experience; an hp pool so large even level 10 plants took forever to kill, not to mention that the picture was just more and more intrusive as time went on

[@Enby_Mess]

I actually had a lot of fun playing this event (exept the first fnaf level, the quizzes and level 29), but i also understand that this is basically torture for people who dislike brainrot type humor

[@cat_eater9]

Honestly, what made this event such a pain to go through was the amount of "haha look guys there's 2070 zombies on the screen at once" levels, the first 10 levels just felt really bland, the riddle levels were interesting but were too long, the only thing I liked from the level design part was level 29 and the SpongeBob bossfight, the songs like SpongeBob's radical anthem and some exclusive songs for the SpongeBob fight were the best part of the entire event, overall I would never play this again
