Increase the gameplay speed

Is there any way to increase the speed of gameplay in Plants vs. Zombies? It's a great game, but it can get a bit slow.

Best Answer

The game offers no such option.

A good strategy for quickly earning money in Plants vs. Zombies

For the iPhone version, I recommend using Marigolds on Lvl 1.1 (only the base zombie)

Basically you want to set up 3 lanes of marigolds with a single garlic at the front to divert the zombie into the other 2 lanes.

I hope this unicode art makes sense

Legend:

S = Sunflower/TwinSunflower
M = Marigold
P = Peashooter
G = Garlic
X = Gold Magnet shrooms
T = Tallnuts
W = Spikeweeds

The idea is to slow down how you kill the zombies. So as quickly as possibly, place the garlics to direct the zombies into the two lanes that are protected. After the initial setup, it's just a matter of placing the marigolds as quickly as possibly.

EDIT: I should have said that you place the gold magnet shrooms so that you get automatic coin collection; having two means less chance of a miss.

Plants vs. Zombies – Differences Between Platforms

Since you are already familiar with the PC version, I'll go into the other ones:

iPhone version

It contains the entire campaign, as well as different achievements (also different Easter eggs, such as what happen if you scroll down the achievement listing continuously). The puzzles are mainly the same as well.

Doesn't have survival mode.
Doesn't come with most of the bonus games (including the plant garden, the tree of wisdom, as well as the Zombiequarium minigame)
- These must be purchased with either in-game coins or with real money using microtransactions
- All Mini-game packs can be purchased for 50,000 coins each, the I, Zombie game pack for 150,000 coins, the Vasebreaker game pack for 150,000 coins, and the Last Stand game pack for 100,000 coins.

iPad version

Identical to the iPhone version, except it now includes the Survival mode. However, now it includes a new way to improve the power of your cobb plants (by putting butter on enemies first). This is making use of the iPad multitouch mode of up to 11 touches at once (think launching multiple walnut in walnut bowling at once). Still no zen garden.
