What a great puzzle game ...

The game has now made it to the world's largest game fair as one of the best demakes of the last 12 months! We showed it to an enthusiastic audience on the Retro Stage of the Retro Area at Gamescom 2023 in Cologne. You can watch the video here starting at 00:32:12. English subtitles should be available here. 🙂

Music is top notch, plays very well, and the whole thing is extremely addicting. I lost an hour and half without even realizing it. Very nice!

did you name it "plants vs zombies" on csdb only, because of copyright lol?

(meaning, it's good. here, have one of my "covers" i make exclusively for myself. i was to share these on lemon, alas, they banned me for being a "troll". their loss, your gain. this stays up for 1 week before it gets auto-deleted so grab it now or never. more covers incoming...)

Extremely good demake that doesn't lack any features of the original. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:02:46. Automatic subtitles should be available soon (switch on, if necessary). Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Congratulations! :)

Any chance to port this to the Amiga as well...?

Unlikely from my hand, but I will release the source code in some weeks

This is one awesome example of modern C64 game! Great to play and addicting.

May I ask about the sourcecode? Did you published it somewhere? I am interested in modding the game. :-)

Source code is now available

Great one! Nicely balanced and as addictive as the OG!

I remember having the PC game back in the early 2000s. It was fun and addictive. To see this game ported to the Commodore 64 is absolutely amazing. A  very good port it is also. Well done.

looking forward to test it. I have a mini c64
and it needs an atari port :)

This is a awesome game. My son is a massive plants vs zombies fan and the game got his seal of approval. Fantastic achievement and the music is 👌

aaaaaaaay thank you

Knowing how character sets and sprites work on the C64, this is quite the achievement! Very impressed with the content too, including the pole vaulting zombies and the night levels. Just well done all around!

Streamed this earlier, was quite fun!  Couple oddities in comparison to the original but all in all, very solid, enoyable.
