  • Tower defense
  • Strategy
  • Classic

Plant sunflowers to generate sun and place peashooters, wall-nuts and cherry bombs in your garden to stop waves of increasingly weird zombies. A tower defense that's easy to learn, full of humour and with dozens of plants to combine.

Why play it now

Who it's for

For anyone who wants light strategy, and for those looking for a classic played by all ages.

When not to pick it
