The goblins have invaded Mars. Now it’s your fight. Goblins have taken over seven secret Mars stations, each home to powerful plant biolabs. Without your help, the last line of green defense will be crushed. Can you lead the plants in a daring counterattack and reclaim Mars, station by station? * Seven epic missions Battle across red dunes, frozen domes, and alien labs in a campaign packed with surprises. Each mission unlocks new enemies, new challenges - and new chances to prove you're the best. * Real-time strategy meets chaos Choose your plants wisely. Place them smartly. Watch as laser blasts, chili lane wipes, mushroom mega-explosions, and triple pea shots rain down on waves of goblins. Every decision counts - and every second matters. * Meet the Goblin Empire From basic grunts to shielded bulldozers, grenade-throwers, UFO goblins, and elite tech monsters - the goblin army is smarter, faster, and more dangerous than ever. You’ll need more than sunflowers to stop them now. * Unlock the ultimate Martian squad Build sun with Twin Flowers Freeze time with Martian Ice Clear lanes with Chilli and Wave Defend skies with Anti-Air Plants Strike hard with Sharpshooters, Lasers, and more * Climb the Leaderboard Your speed, skill, and strategy are rewarded. The faster you complete levels - and the fewer levels you fail or restart - the higher your score. Play smart, plan your defense, and fight back to free the Martian stations. Good luck in your battle against the goblins, and congratulations to all players who make it to the top of the Leaderboard.
