Technical Difficulties - Level 5 is the fifth level of the Technical Difficulties event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

Difficulty

This level starts out very slow in the first few waves, however this is augmented by having fast flying zombies. Due to Blover not being banned, the player should always plant him as soon as his seed packet finishes recharging.

Difficulty Swaps

In Penny's Pursuit, the zombies in a level can swap depending on the difficulty chosen.
