Chapter 34

Its final limit, Chen Mo could place 22 Cob Cannons or more, but he wasn't gonna show this because it was quite easy to play it and it wasn't good if a negative example formed.

Moreover, all the formations using Cob Cannons must need to master its tempo, you can't clear it just by randomly throwing instant-kill plants everywhere, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of the emergence of the zombies in order to respond in advance.

Moreover, this formation wasn't the only formation, in fact, the various formations of Plants vs Zombies was also a knowledge. There were 20 or 30 pages of excellent posts of various formations in his previous world. There were even many unimaginable formations, such as only planting in 1 half of the map, or planting plants in an arrowhead formation, hearts, or other shapes. There were also formations without Cob Cannon and there were even formations with 22 or more Cob Cannons with extreme manual controls and so on…

Chen Mo slightly knows them, but he is unable to do it without practicing for a while.

Especially the timing when releasing the Cob Cannons and various instant-kill plants were very important, and the players in his previous world have even developed various unimaginable formulas and record their gameplay for each formation.

In addition, there were many other tricks, such as ice-killing coral, which meant that freezing the water surface at a specific time point through the use of Ice-shroom in the Survival:Endless pool area, so that the Coral Zombie Trio in the pool could not get out of the water.

There are many other tricks like these, but Chen Mo doesn't intend to spoil them and just let the players to slowly explore.

Wen Lingwei's enthusiasm was once again ignited, and she tried to copy Chen Mo in endless mode.

"Oh, sure enough, I did it!"

"How is it? Is it easy to use?"

"It's easy to use! I feel that it is better than my previous formation!"

"Be careful, protect the Cob Cannon."

These people have gone to study endless mode, and they have forgotten about the game release, just as soon as they turned around.

'You all agreed to come and cheer me on right? ?'

Chen Mo was speechless, he then opened the App Store and continued to pay attention to 《Plants vs Zombies》 data.

From the afternoon till evening, it was basically the golden period of game downloads, The data was getting refreshed every hour, the downloads of 《Plants vs Zombies》 were all rising, adding 500 from the previous hour and now about 800 downloads in this hour!

Moreover, 《Plants vs Zombies》, while firmly occupying the top spot in the New Game Ranking, also began to attack the other Ranking.

Puzzle Game Ranking, Strategy Game Ranking, Casual Game Ranking, 《Plants vs Zombies》 began to show up on multiple lists, and even manage to reached the top 500 of the Paid Game Ranking!

You know, that this was just less than 24 hours since its release. It's like riding a rocket to get this result.

At the same time, the topic of 《Plants vs Zombies》 rapidly fermented, and Chen Mo's weibo post was constantly being forwarded.

The major game media were downloading 《Plants vs Zombies》 and they wanted to give a good introduction of the game in their report.

And some game designers have also noticed the game, with a shock look while they download it, and they wanted to see why this game had such a great magic!

Now, everyone is waiting for the 24-hour data of 《Plants vs Zombies》!

At this time, 《Plants vs Zombies》 scored 9.2 points and was still maintaining a high score and the player's review were basically praising it.

"A very innovative puzzle game!"

"I feel that the game content is very rich, after playing for a few hours, there is new content, the money spent is worth it."

"I very much like the graphics and music!"

"Before I felt that the plants and the zombies were incompatible, but now it turns out that they mysteriously fit."

"I downloaded this game at noon and have been playing it for several hours, why can't I stop playing this game?"

"I originally thought that a game that was developed for only 3 months would be crude, But I was totally wrong, this is an incomparable top-quality game!"

"I am a professional Internet troll, but I don't know how to troll this game at all. What should I do next, will I lose my job soon?"

"Upstairs, I'll teach you, what kind of junk game is this? the zombies aren't scary at all! (pretending to be a troll)"

"Does anyone that came from Weibo like me? Do you feel bad for teacher s.h.i.+ Huazhe?"

"Oh, who still felt bad about that outdated game designer? He always lived off his past gains and criticized other people. What's the result? How could his game be compared with 《Plants vs Zombies》?"

Chen Mo read through all the comments.

There were also some bad reviews here, or some opinions, Chen Mo also looked at them, but they were mostly without using their brain , and he didn't know whether they got paid or intentionally doing it.

Anyway, Chen Mo does not care about this little group and it also won't affect the score of 《Plants vs Zombies》. If they want to spam bad reviews, they still have to pay and buy the game.

You guys can troll after you pay and buy my game. I'll lose if I get mad about your behavior.

Chen Mo's mentality was quite good and it's impossible for him to get angry on those few people .

Now Chen Mo was looking forward to 《Plants vs Zombies》 which was popular in his previous world and wanted to see how big of a wave it could make in the parallel world!

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next day at 12 o'clock.

There were only 3-4 people in the experience shop, yesterday Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng, and the others had been playing till the experience shop closed at 8 pm and when they returned to their dormitory it was estimated that they had use their phones for a long time and as a result, they still had not come till noon.

Jia Peng yawned. "Manager, I tried your formation last night and still couldn't clear it! Why do I always feel that the Cob Cannon is not enough!"

Chen Mo laughed and said nothing.

Jia Peng said, "…Manager, if you continue being like this, I will hit you. I'm really annoyed, why can you pa.s.s the 2000th level without pressure and I can only reach 109?"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes, "You climbed more than 20 level at one night and you are still not satisfied?"

Jia Peng thought for a moment, as if that was the case, and so he continued studying about it.

Chen Mo opened the App Store and look at the data of 《Plants vs Zombies》.

At the same time, many of the game media's ma.n.u.script have been ready, just short of the final data.

At 12 pm the data got refres.h.!.+

《Plants vs Zombies》: 23187 downloads, Rating: 9.1 points!

It broke through 20,000 in 24 hours!

Originally, according to Chen Mo's estimate within 24 hours it would break through 10,000, as for whether it can reach 20,000, Chen Mo does not dare to be too optimistic, however, when Chen Mo got up in the morning to look at the data, the download had already broken through 20,000, and by 12 pm, it had reached more than 23,000.

This showed that 《Plants vs Zombies》 ushered in a huge wave of downloads at night!

Not only that, 《Plants vs Zombies》 directly climbed on the top ten of the Puzzle Game Ranking, Strategy Game Ranking, Casual Game Ranking and other categories, but it also entered the top 100 of the Paid Game Ranking!

As for the recommended position, it is even more exaggerated, The official App Store directly gave the 《Plants vs Zombies》 a home page recommendation at【Must Play Today】 page!

The Official App Store's home page recommendation is basically divided into four grades, the best is 【Super Cla.s.sic Game】 recommendation at the top, which will give a scrolling placement, and at the same time, only five or six games can get this recommendation.

Followed by 【Hottest Today】 recommendation, will show a few big icons, the recommended number of games is about ten.

The following is 【Must Play Today】 recommendation, the same will show an icon, but will recommend more than a dozen games.

The worst is the 【Featured Today】 recommendation, there are about 30 of them.

However, the worst home page recommendation is much better than the recommendation under other secondary pages.

《Plants vs Zombies》 won 【Must Play Today】 recommendation, which was already very good, since only few new games could get this recommendation in a day since its release. This showed that the App Store's system rating of 《Plants vs Zombies》 was very, very high!
