Plants vs Zombies DS [v0.1 BETA]

Description

NOTICE [2023/10/07] Unfortunately, I don't really have any current plans to update this project. My focus right now is on learning C++ for game modding and eventually Unreal Engine, but I hope that this project can inspire others to try making their own Scratch TDs! If I ever do come back to making a Plants vs Zombies game, it'll probably: - Be a "sequel" or an original game entirely (not PvZ) - Use TurboWarp or another game engine, like Unreal - Be posted to sites like Game Jolt and itch.io If I do do one of these though, I'll make sure to say so here! ---- ~ Welcome to a Scratch remake of the original Plants vs Zombies DS game ~ Look inside the 'thumb' sprite to play on Game Jolt and view more game info. You can also search for it using the ID "747366" on Game Jolt. This game is far from finished, but I plan to update it frequently - assuming I don't get distracted hehe Note that I'm not creating a 1-for-1 recreation of the game. Although levels, plants, etc. will be similar/the same, some animations, stats, etc. will be changed if I think it benefits the enjoyment of the game. | LATEST UPDATE [31/10/22] - v0.1 | - ADDED ZOMBIE: Conehead - Added level: 1-1 - Most is set up for easy adding of future levels - Added reward to end of levels - Clicking on MORE now enters an endless sandbox mode - Zombies previews are now true to their corresponding levels - Added Huge Waves and FINAL WAVES - Updated Flag Zombie - Walk speed buff - Now only appears in Huge Waves (excluding 1-1) - Nerfed Peashooter pea projectile speed (to match original game) - Zombies spread out across all lanes each wave - Replaced some sound effects with ones from the PC version; planning to replace most/all soon - Sun now floats to the cursor in controller mode, similar to the PvZ console editions - Added 4 new Game Jolt trophies: - SPUDOW! - THE ZOMBIES ATE YOUR BRAINS! - Smooth Criminal - Early Bloomer For a full changelog, look inside this project's 'thumb' sprite. | CREDITS | A lot of the sprites and costumes come from the Spriters Resource, although I've also ripped some stuff from my own emulated copy of the game. Audio comes from the Sounds Resource, believe it or not, although the music just comes from YouTube. | COMING EVENTUALLY | If you're curious as to what the finished game will include... - All plants and zombies from PvZ1 that I can get the sprites for - All story-mode levels, recreated 1-for-1 - A few, if not all, minigames (probs just a few) - VERSUS MODE (this is a biggie focus of mine) - Co-op mode And more! If you've played PvZ1, you'll know what's in store. My goal is to make this the best PvZ-style game on Scratch thus far, as I work out how to program everything so that it actually works as intended - as close to the original game as possible. | TAGS | PvZ Nintendo DS emulation emulator 2DS 3DS Tower Defense Defence TD mobile pc computer mac console

Instructions

Controllers are supported with Scratch Addons. For those unfamiliar with the gameplay of Plants vs Zombies: | PC CONTROLLER CONTROLS | This game is controller compatible! Connecting a controller requires either Scratch Addons or opening this game in TurboWarp. Press the controller's home button in the Main Menu to activate. Alternatively, you can just press "\" in the Main Menu and use the controls for fun. If you do, here are the keyboard controls: - Z: Click/Plant/Shovel - X: Select/Deselect - C: Pick-up shovel - [ & ] : Navigate seeds left & right | PLANTS | WARNING: Do not drag. It probably won't work. To place plants, click on their 'seed packet' and then where you want to put the plant down. You'll notice that a preview sprite will show you where the plant will go before you click down. > Peashooter - Shoots peas that damage zombies periodically. > Sunflower - Produces 25 sun periodically. > Cherry Bomb - Explodes, killing zombies within a 3x3 tile area. > Wall-nut - Tanks against many zombie bites. > Potato Mine - Charges for 15 seconds, and then explodes on contact. Use the shovel to remove unwanted plants. | ZOMBIES | Zombies will start spawning after 20 seconds, then spawning every 35 seconds, or after another zombie dies (depending on what happens first). They can eat your plants, so don't let them get too close! > Basic - Simply walks forwards and eats anything in its path. > Flag - Spawns every "Huge Wave" with a faster speed than Basic zombies. > Conehead - A Basic zombie with more health. | OBJECTIVE | So far, level 1-1 is the only playable level. Defeat all the waves of zombies to win. Also, by clicking on "MORE", you can play an endless mode with all the available plants unlocked, although as the name suggests, 'winning' is impossible. For more info on updates, I suggest you check out the Notes and Credits. If you find any bugs, please let me know in the comments! | CHEAT CODES | To enter them, simply type them out in the Main Menu. clear alpha apocalypse frenzy recharge sun jazz heehee medic
