The concept of the game is fairly simple. You plant plants in order to protect your house from the zombies. Each time you complete a level you either get money or another plant. Soon your plant collection will start getting bigger and bigger. But the zombies will start getting stronger too. You will start encountering more powerful zombies and zombies with different abilities.
Once you have completed adventure mode there are a variety of other things you can do, such as make your own zen garden or play in different modes like wall-nut bowling and survival mode. All of this will get you money where you can buy more things and enable you to play better.
Adventure mode starts getting harder and harder and you progress from front yard day to front yard night and then backyard day and then backyard with fog. Then you go on the roof with harder zombies to defeat. Finally you come to the boss... Dr Zomboss. He comes to battle in a huge metal battle suit but there are some very simple strategies to defeat him.
Every now and then Dr Zomboss bends his mechanical robot at you. Then it opens its mout and shoots a missile at you. The missile can be either blue or red. If the missile is blue place a jalapeno in the path of the missile.
The jalapeno will destroy the blue missile which is actually made out of ice. If Dr Zomboss shoots a red missile (made out of fire) at you then use the ice shroom to counter the missile. Also when he bends down quickly use the ice shroom to freeze his progress. While he is frozen all your other plants can then attack him. This is a great stategy and I was failing so much untill I asked my friend and then he told me this stategy.
