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.
