Plants vs. Zombies 1 is a tower defense and strategy game developed by PopCap Games and originally released on May 5, 2009 for PC and Mac. It quickly became a classic thanks to its addictive gameplay, charming visuals, and lighthearted humor.
🧠 Game Concept
You’re a suburban homeowner who must defend their house from waves of zombies… using combat plants! 🌻🌽💣
Goal:
Stop the zombies from reaching your house by strategically placing plants that attack, block, or slow down enemies.
🕹️ How It Works

The battlefield is a backyard divided into horizontal lanes.

Each plant has a different function:

Sunflower: generates more sun ☀️
