If he pushed it a bit further, he could set up twenty-two cannons or even more. However, Chen Mo didn't plan on showing off, as it was too easy to mess up. It wouldn't be good if he made a bad example.
Moreover, all the formations with the Cob Cannons needed to be in control. It wasn't as simple as just throwing bombs all over the place. He needed to have a certain understanding of how the zombies would appear in order to be able to react in advance.
Moreover, this wasn't the only formation. In fact, Plants vs Zombies formations were also a field of study. In his previous life, there were at least twenty to thirty pages of high quality posts on various formations. There were even some formations that were unimaginable, such as only having half of the map, or arranging the plants into arrowheads, hearts, or formations without cannons. There was even a limit of twenty-two or more Cob Cannons …
Chen Mo understood some of these, but if he were to play by himself, he wouldn't be able to do it without a period of practice.
The timing of the Cob Cannons and bombs was especially important. In his previous life, the players even came up with all sorts of techniques to record the different formations.
Apart from this, there were also many other tricks. For example, the Frozen Coral Melts was used in Endless Mode to freeze the water at a specific time, preventing the Coral Zombies from coming out of the water.
There were many other tricks like these, but Chen Mo didn't want to spoil them. He wanted the players to slowly figure them out.
The enthusiasm of Wen Lingwei and the others was once again ignited as they tried to figure out Chen Mo's formations in Endless Mode.
"Geez, it worked! I did it!"
"How is it? Is it good?"
"It's good! I feel like it's better than my previous formations! "
"Be careful, protect the Cob Cannons."
These people were all busy researching Endless Mode, and forgot about the game's release in the blink of an eye.
Didn't they say they were here to cheer me on?
Chen Mo was speechless. He opened up the app store and continued to look at the statistics for Plants vs Zombies.
Afternoon to night was the golden period for downloads. The numbers would be refreshed every hour, and the number of downloads for Plants vs Zombies kept increasing. From five hundred new downloads per hour, it was now around eight hundred new downloads per hour!
Moreover, while Plants vs Zombies was firmly in first place on the new games leaderboards, it was also making its way into the other leaderboards.
Puzzle games, strategy games, casual games, Plants vs Zombies started showing up on many of the charts. It even made it into the top five hundred of the paid games charts!
He had only been online for less than 24 hours. To be able to achieve such results was like riding a rocket.
At the same time, the topic of Plants vs Zombies quickly spread, and Chen Mo's Weibo post was being reposted.
All the major video game media were downloading Plants vs Zombies, wanting to introduce the game in their reports.
Some video game designers also noticed the game and downloaded it in shock. They wanted to see why the game was so magical!
Now, everyone was waiting for the twenty-four hour data for Plants vs Zombies!
At this time, Plants vs Zombies' rating was 2, maintaining a very high rating. The majority of the players' reviews were positive.
"A very novel puzzle game!"
"It feels like the game's content is very rich. There's still new content after playing for a few hours. It's definitely worth the money."
"I like the pictures and the music!"
"I thought that plants and zombies didn't match, but it turns out that they're a perfect match."
"I downloaded the game this afternoon, and have been playing it for a few hours now. Why can't I stop playing?"
"I thought that the game would be a little rough around the edges after three months, but that's not the case at all. This is a high quality game, the creativity is unbeatable!"
"I'm a professional troll, but I can't find anything to troll. What should I do? Am I going to lose my job?"
"Previous poster, let me teach you. What kind of trash game is this? The zombies aren't scary at all! (Manual comedy) "
"Is there anyone who came from Weibo like me? Feel sorry for Teacher Shi Huazhe? "
"Hehe, who would feel sorry for that outdated video game designer? Living off of what he's done, criticizing this and that. What's the result? Can his game even compare to Plants vs Zombies? "
Chen Mo happily scrolled through the comments.
There were a few bad reviews and opinions, which Chen Mo took a look at. However, most of them were scoldings. He wasn't sure if they were trolls, or if they were purposely trying to slander him.
Chen Mo didn't mind. This small group of people wouldn't affect the ratings of Plants vs Zombies anyways. If they wanted to leave bad reviews, they would have to pay for the game.
You can troll as much as you want after paying, but I lose if I get angry.
Chen Mo's mentality was extremely good, and there was no way he would get angry over a few trolls.
Now Chen Mo was looking forward to it. He wanted to see how big of an impact Plants vs Zombies would make in the parallel world!
…
The next day at 12 PM.
There were only Jia Peng and a few others in the experience store. Wen Lingwei and the others played until the experience store closed at 8 PM yesterday. They probably played on their phones for a long time after they returned to their dorms, but they still weren't here at noon.
Jia Peng yawned, "Manager, I spent the whole night trying out your strategy, and it didn't work! Why do I feel like there aren't enough Cob Cannons! "
Chen Mo laughed without saying a word.
Jia Peng said, "… Manager, I'm going to hit you if you keep this up. I'm so pissed off! How come you can easily beat two thousand levels, while I'm only at one hundred and nine? "
Chen Mo rolled his eyes, "You beat more than twenty levels in one night, and you're still not satisfied?"
Jia Peng thought for a bit, and since that was indeed the case, he continued to study the game.
Chen Mo opened up the app store and looked at the stats for Plants vs Zombies.
At the same time, many video game media outlets had already prepared their press releases, and were just waiting for the final numbers.
At 12 PM, the numbers refreshed!
Plants vs Zombies: 23187 downloads, rating
Twenty thousand sales in twenty-four hours!
According to Chen Mo's estimates, it would break ten thousand in twenty-four hours, but Chen Mo wasn't too optimistic about breaking twenty thousand. But when Chen Mo looked at the numbers in the morning, it had already broken twenty thousand, and by 12 PM, it had reached 23000.
This meant that Plants vs Zombies had received another wave of downloads that night!
Not only that, but Plants vs Zombies made it into the top ten of the puzzle games, strategy games, casual games, and other categories. It even made it into the top one hundred of the paid to play games!
As for the recommendation spot, it was even more ridiculous. The official app store gave Plants vs Zombies a "Must Play Today" recommendation on the front page!
The official app store's recommendation spots on the front page were split into four categories. The best was the "Classic Games" recommendation at the top, which had a rolling banner. Only five or six games could receive this recommendation at any one time.
Next was the "Today's Most Popular" recommendation, which had a few large icons, with around ten games recommended.
Below that was the "Must Play Today" recommendation, which also had icons, but with around ten games recommended.
The worst was the "Today's Featured" recommendation, which had around thirty or so slots.
However, even the worst recommendation on the front page was much better than the other two pages.
