One day, terrible zombies try to invade your home. You need to form a powerful animals team to defeat them. You have a variety of animals with different capabilities. You have to place animals in areas in front of the house for defeating zombies before they reach your door. The animals have their own unique offensive or defensive capabilities. You’ll use your strategy to arrange the combination of animals and the fighting positions to stop the zombies. There are also 5 mini-games, each mini-game has 8 unlocked levels with different difficulty. [Game Play] The playing area has 5 horizontal lanes, zombies will only move towards along one lane. Placing animals costs coins, which can be gathered for free during daytime levels, or be generated by Piggies. Therefore, the most important strategy is to place as many piggies as possible at the beginning. Then, you will have enough coins to place other animals. You starts with two animals and two slots (how many animals you can pick in the level). The animals and the slots will be increased through completing levels. There are 30 different animals and up to 10 animals slots. At the beginning of each level, you can pick which animals you’d like to take into the level. If a zombie reaches the end of a lane, a boar will attack forward and destroy all the zombies in that lane. However, if a zombie reaches the end of that same lane for a second time, the game will end. If you like tower defense games, you’ll enjoy this casual animals defense game. Animals Battle is an easy-to-play but challenging game. All levels are unlocked. Download now and hope you can enjoy it.

In recent times, the Garden Kingdom has evolved to be a haven for the plants, since all the cold and gruesome wars with the Goblins, it had regenerated an air of harmony, flourishing the gardening art and culture. They had festivals and competitions, and the youthful saplings sang the melodies and listened to accounts of war veterans. The great number of lives laid forth by the heroic plants raised a field full of blooming red strawberries after the Battle of Peasburg, and as a tribute to the fallen heroes and to pick up their insight and power, the young green warriors sow strawberries, to grow other plants and to gain flower-like points. The Kingdom had established good relations with the neighboring pumpkin and ginseng fields. The tremendous corn fields likewise trained their cobs with the green warriors. They welcomed the bordering forest beasty carnivorous plants into civilization. They had all pledged allegiance to the garden realm, in time of peace and war, to secure each knoll and turf, garden and nursery alike. Who knew the war wouldn't be that long to come? The archenemy vile goblins had donned on their facade of conceit. The goblins devised the biggest artillery with the help of the shrewdest of ghouls, elves, gnomes, pixies, and ghosts. They have been plotting ever since and gathered the biggest force the world has ever seen. They hadnít left but were biding their time until they destroy all the plants from the face of the earth. With the standing army of millions of destructive armored goblins, the thick billows of war were encompassing the Garden Kingdom and the air of dread and death was stirring. One fine morning, an immense tremor shook the grounds of the Garden Kingdom. The sky turned gloomy. The plants saw a rising tsunami and off came a Goblin Cyclop, pulverizing everything in its way. The war was declared, sirens aloud, the green warriors ready to protect. The Goblin army was something unseen before, covering every inch of sky, land, and water, with the goblin flying bombers, archers, warriors, and goblin riders. The flying goblin was back with the dynamite, which could kill all the plants within seconds. Nonetheless, the sons of the Garden Kingdom, with chlorophyll running in their veins fought with all their might, entangling and the goblins, the pumpkin cannonballs crushed the flying goblins, joined by ginseng, corn, and carnivorous plants in the onslaught. Planting strawberries helped increment the plant power yet remained the question of the dynamite. Plants are devising ways to take and dismantle the dynamite, with every 21 plants against 17 goblins, with much more surprises and 46 new levels. Who will win? Let's play and find out. Here's Tip: Grow more strawberries to get more rewards!
