User blog:IMCR8Z/Plants vs. Zombies 2 World Idea: Garden of Darkness

Howdy, neighbors! Today I will be sharing another one of my ideas for Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time worlds.

World Features

Based on: Garden of Darkness is a world based on the beta version of the original Plants vs. Zombies, and as such, updated versions of zombies from the beta appear.

World-specific mechanic: The player must use dirt pads, which are like Flower Pots, in order to plant on the ground in Garden of Darkness.

Surprise attack: Garden of Darkness has 2 surprise attacks. The first one is "DOGHOUSE!" which causes a group of Zombie Dogs to rush onto the lawn. The second is "BUNGEES!" I'm sure you can guess what that does.

World description: "It's 2007. The battle between plants and zombies as we know it today is about to be started by a man known only as 'George'. Can you defend yourself from a hoard of the undead of 2009's closest relatives?"

Other info: Unlike other worlds, the first level of Garden of Darkness is -29, and the number goes up for each level, until the Zomboss battle, which is Day 0.
