### 1/5 — taken down when?

*2025-02-11*

so on instagram its promoting that there zombies and plants from pvz when will popcap or ea sue yall and take yalls game down not only for false advertising and using other companies characters and using it as your own but also profiting off of it when do you think that will happen cause that will be on big lawsuit lol 1 star didnt even play the game just installed it then came to make a review because your using stolen content and making it yours.

### 2/5 — Fun game, lots of bugs

*2024-07-30*

Love the game play but the bugs are annoying. Claiming your prizes or winnings doesn’t work half the time.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the issue you encountered, please contact us by cs center, we need more info to help you~

### 3/5 — Bugs Need to be Fixed

*2024-06-19*

The game is fun but there are some bugs in it. I noticed that when fishing some of the fish aren’t selling. I could be using those funds to upgrade. The game is fun otherwise

It isn’t certain fish that can’t be sold. It’s random. It is when it only gives you the option to sell and then after selecting sell it doesn’t pay anything. Usually, when you sell fish there is a number above sell. Sometimes there’s not a number present and no money is added.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Which fish cannot be sold?

### 1/5 — Just Ads Now

*2024-06-06, version 1.1.7*

Loved it then now since new update it’s just endless ads to even play so sadly had to delete my favourite game. You guys ruining your business.

### 1/5 — Bro, literally PvZ👎🏻👎🏻😡😡😡😡

*2024-05-25*

The game is literally plants versus zombies. That makes me mad. really mad. literally took plants from plants versus zombies and you just made them your style😡😡😡😡👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 3/5 — Not a bad game, just bad marketing

*2024-05-23*

This game is good for what it is. I think it is pretty fun - the only thing I had against it was how it was being marketed through the ads. I feel like a lot more people would download this game if they knew what real gameplay was like, instead of showing this 8 bit plants vs zombies stuff….

**Developer response:** Thanks for your suggestions, we will improve ad review and make games and ads more consistent.

### 4/5 — Addictive gameplay loop but a LOT of clicking

*2024-05-18*

I’ve played this for a few weeks now and thought I should give a more complete review. I’ll try to be brief. 

In short, it’s a great alternative to PvZ. The gameplay loop is pretty addictive, and while there are TONS of opportunities to pay real money (and prompts to do so) I haven’t felt any need to yet. This is very well done, and I’ll likely spend a little money soon just to show appreciation to the devs. 

Visually it’s beautiful, with quirky interesting characters and lots of addictive action during the battles. It runs perfectly smoothly even when there is utter carnage on screen. 

As I said, I haven’t found a P2W wall yet, so that’s very good too. 

The main downside to me is that there are just so many different menus to click into, to gather the seemingly endless rewards and badges etc. People who like a lot of collecting and feedback will love it, but if you’re a bit triggered by constant notifications to clear then it’ll likely stress you out. 

Overall it’s a great free game, for short bursts and also longer sessions. Definitely worth a go.

**Developer response:** Dear player, what hints are bothering you?

### 5/5 — I like it. Plain and simple.

*2024-05-06*

The game is def different from the others that i have played. So far I am really enjoying it as its a nice break from the games I am playing. While levels seem to take forever at times, it is something that I can step away from and finish later. I’m curious and excited to the strats that are required down the road and the fun plant combos I will get to create.

### 2/5 — It’s a good idea but

*2024-05-03*

It’s exactly like slime legion which is fine they’re both great games only problem is grind you have to grind your life away just to get a s character who may be cool or may not also everybody locked behind events which would be ok if you didn’t have to pay for everything that involves the events if you want an as character spend 100 dollars and maybe you have a shot not worth the time nor the money

**Developer response:** Dear player, you can accumulate hero shards through some events, and you don’t necessarily need to recharge.

### 2/5 — Nothing like the ads but still okay

*2024-04-29*

A plant vs zombie rip off with matching

**Developer response:** This game is different from ours~
