542. I made it all by myself (Chapter 2)(1/2)
In order to pass the review, Bomi Company has transformed the entire game style and some unharmonious elements. For example, the zombies are more cute and the effect of death is more comedic, and there is no bloody feeling throughout the whole process, and it is more like giving you a feeling of [victory magic].
Moreover, there are many types of plants and zombies, which are very close to reality, so they have been loved by a wide range of users, whether in terms of painting style, gameplay, or brains.
"Plant vs. Zombies" is only sold for 18 yuan in the mobile app store.
Because the development cost itself is not high, the employees of Bomi Company's project, from planning to art to programs to soundtracks... in total, there is only a team of 10 people, with investment costs and subsequent promotional costs less than 10 million.
Since its release in August, "Plant vs. Zombies" has firmly ranked first in the sales rankings.
In just two days, sales volume exceeded 1 million.
And this growth rate is still increasing.
According to the judgment of the market analyst—
After the release of Plants vs. Zombies, it will bring an unprecedented mobile game revolution. Many people who do not play the game will also start downloading this game because of the existence of Plants vs. Zombies.
Judging from the current growth rate and future trends, Plants vs. Zombies are likely to become the first mobile game product in history to exceed 5 million sales.
How popular is this game?
Almost as long as you have a smartphone, as long as you like to play games, as long as you feel bored, as long as you are not a traitor, you can play this game.
So many have downloaded this game.
And because many people, especially office workers, are busy working during the day and drag their tired bodies home at night, basically there is nothing to do during the fragmented period of time, and the biggest way to relax is to play games.
Plants vs. Zombies just meet these people's needs for spending time.
So Plants vs. Zombies have become the most popular mobile game product at the moment.
In addition, the market is really eager for mobile games. The gap in this area is very huge. The main reason is the contradiction between supply and demand between a large number of mobile phone users and a small number of products.
Many people have smartphones, and the number of people who own smartphones worldwide has exceeded 380 million.
Most of them are Bomi smartphone users.
These mobile phone users actually need games very much, or, to be precise, because users' time is now more fragmented-
For example, during work, during the toilet, or while waiting for tasks, or waiting for customers...
All this time was wasted. Before the mobile game appeared, it was either used to daze or use other things to waste it.
So their desire for mobile games has reached a very high level.
The games on the market cannot meet their needs, which is why Plants vs. Zombies are now extremely successful as soon as they are released.
...
As the game "Plant vs. Zombies" continues to rise, more and more reports and discussions are being reported and discussed in major forum sections and news media.
After entering September, the game successfully topped the hot search list:
"How to evaluate Bomi's newly released mobile game Plants vs. Zombies?"
"Plant vs. Zombies" is a very strategic little game.
The terrifying zombies are about to invade, and each type of zombie has different characteristics. For example, the iron barrel zombie has extremely strong resistance to hitting, and the miner zombies can dig tunnels to bypass plants planted on the soil surface. The way players defend against zombies is to plant plants.
Each of the 49 plants has different functions, such as a cherry bomb that can die with all zombies within a certain range around it, while a man-eating flower can eat the zombie that is closest to you.
Players can reasonably plant plants based on the weaknesses of different zombies, which is also the trick to victory. The game is divided into five game modes according to the gameplay: adventure mode, mini mode, puzzle mode, survival mode, and Zen Garden.
In addition to obstacles like dark nights, roofs, thick fog and pools add to its challenges. The game is almost never-ending.

"Plant vs. Zombies" integrates real-time strategy, tower defense warfare and card collection. Players control plants to resist zombies' attacks and protect this botanical garden.
There are more than 40 plants that can be selected in the game, and only 10 types of plants can be selected for each scene, which requires players to make choices based on their own game strategies.
Because it successfully borrows some elements of a strategic game - collecting resources and using resources to build other units, some players even use interstellar strategies to explain when the game needs to develop its "economy" and when the "troop strength" needs to be developed.
This game requires players to have both brain intelligence and cerebellum response. After having the correct strategic thinking, they must also rely on tactics to realize the strategy.
The tactical scope includes a wide range of plants, formations during combat, and whether to fight or defend when plants meet zombies.
The correct tactics are the key to players' victory in battle. Choosing the right tactics requires first analyzing the situation and then making a decision. Then improving the tactical level is also the ability to analyze the situation."

"Bomie Company is really an eternal god. Such a fun game is probably only Boomie Company can do it."
"It has been three years since the last mobile game developed by Bomi. You don't know how I survived these three years. Although there are many games on mobile phones one after another, there are even many excellent works.
But I still have a special liking for Bomi Company.
I have been looking forward to Bomi's new mobile game being launched.
This time I finally waited for it."
"Bomie's new mobile game "Plant vs. Zombies" is definitely the most popular mobile game product this year. How popular is it? Among the people I know around me, as long as there are smartphones, 9 out of 10 people are playing this game. The only one who doesn't play will also discuss it with us."
"Plant vs. Zombies are really fun. I definitely didn't lie to you. As long as you download this game and are willing to try it out for 5 minutes, you will definitely be attracted by this game.
The painting style is cute, and the zombies are also very cute, and the plants are ever-changing. The most important thing is that they are very game-oriented, allowing you to plan everything in the constant craze of resisting zombie attacks and become a budget-oriented planting master.
Once you don’t have any place to calculate, such as planting less sunflower or planting less pea Sagittarius, it may cause you to be useless and waste a lot of time, and your mood will also become depressed.
But once you can plan everything and plant every plant well, you will enjoy an unprecedented happiness.
You deserve this game, and you will never regret it."
"Let me say that, my daughter is 4 years old today. Even she is playing "Plant vs. Zombies", and even she can understand this game.
You know how terrible this game is.
I deeply suspect that Bomi Company has specially found someone to test the lower age limit of game users, so it can develop such a young age, and to be precise, a game that is very low-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-than-
My daughter now comes back from kindergarten every day. The first thing she does is to ask, Mom, can I play plants vs. zombies for a while?
This has led to me deleting this game now, mainly because I am afraid of having adverse effects on the child's vision development, and being too addicted to the game will lead to her being unintentional to study.
But personally, Plants vs. Zombies is definitely a good game. Even old aunts like me are addicted to it, let alone the elderly and children."
"Yes, when I saw her daughter upstairs, I would like to talk about my grandmother. My grandmother is 84 years old this year, but she is a very up-to-date old man. She bought her a Bomi smartphone before and taught her how to use it. She really loves this phone. If you have anything to do, call me and send voice messages.
Yes, my grandmother can use WeChat now.
Then, I don’t know what day it was, but I suddenly realized, why is there a game like “Plant vs. Zombies” on my phone?
So I asked her if she had lent her phone to some kid to play and someone downloaded it for you?
What do you think my grandmother said in the end?
She said that she downloaded it herself and strongly recommended this game to me.
I'll go...
Can you imagine an old man with white hair wearing his own reading glasses and playing plants vs. zombies?
But not too beautiful.
So "Plant vs. Zombies" is really a national game. It can be easily used for both men, women, young and old. As long as you can count, you can play this game and get endless happiness from this game.
I won’t say anything, I’m going to guide my grandma to play games.”
"The threshold for plants vs. zombies is very low. I think this should be designed by Bomi Company specifically to allow more people to experience this game. The game itself must be of high quality. After all, Bomi Company's golden sign is here.
Moreover, in order to allow more people to play this game, they also specially treated the style of painting, and everything was like the fairy tales we watched when we were young, full of legends.
Plants and zombies are common even in Western countries.
In other words, before making this game, Bomi had already considered Western countries and even adopted a more familiar way to develop the game.
The zombie outfits are also more Westernized, and the plants are all American comic styles.
This is quite good, and it is highly accepted for both domestic and foreign players.
Gu Sheng
The only problem now is-
Omi Country does not have a Bomi phone, how should they play this game?"
"Hahahaha... The last sentence of the answerer really hit my laugh point. How can I play this game without Bomi smartphones in Omi?"
"Yes, they have not approved Bomi smartphones to be sold in China until now, and Plants vs. Zombies are developed based on Bomi's Hongmeng system. Several problems are needed to be ported to Apple phones:
1. Operating system issues. The operating systems of the two mobile phones are different. This is designed to be a question of whether the operating system is compatible. To be precise, if you want to play Plants vs. Zombies on Apple phones, you must at least re-develop the game on Apple’s IOS system.
2. Is Bomi Company willing?
As we all know, "Plant vs. Zombies" is a mobile game developed by Bomi himself. It has a competitive relationship with Apple, especially in the field of smartphones. The United States is not opening the mobile phone market now, which makes it impossible for Bomi to let its own games appear on competitors' mobile phones.
Isn’t this just selling yourself and causing trouble for yourself?
Bomi is not that stupid.
Of course, players know this.
So, in summary, there are two words -
There is no solution.”
