@ForestOutlook I think they changed the rewards to Starfruit seeds and gems. I already played the mid difficulty and all I got was coins but now I see gems and seeds as rewards.


Oooh, good to know. So I suppose it's a mistake?

Can't see it now, but I wonder if those who have already played all levels in all difficulties will get their 'first play rewards' reset.

    @ForestOutlook   A few players, (me included) has been hit by the level progress not reset bug. 

    My played levels progress had not been reset for the last two weeks after completion of all 5 levels and all three difficulties on the first week. 

    Luckily the Starfruit seeds offer is a two week quest and we are now on the second week so levels 6 to 10 are available with all first-clear rewards.

    I assume the available first clear rewards for level 6-10 are not because the problem's fixed, but because it's the first time they appeared in the game? 😞 Can only hope a fix is coming soon.

  • @ForestOutlook Yup, that is what i am thinking as well. The only way this will work is to get a massive amount of fuel before the new levels come out and play all of them in one go without going anywhere. I think that is the only way for us to get all the first pass rewards...

    I think it just keeps track of the one you have claimed (by winning the level on the chosen difficulty) for the ones not yet claimed I think they will be still available on the following week.  Anyway my hope is that they should have it fixed and not leaving players to write in and make claims from the Help Center.

  • So I just tried level 8 of PP, and it took about 10 minutes long.

    I used MF, Imp Pear, Goo Pea, PL, TT. All zombies were easily defeated except for one kind, *drumroll* Roman Healer!

    None of my plants I brought are made to defeat them. About 8 Healer remained, only on two lanes, separated almost equally. I keep planting PF-ing my Goo Pea, 3-4 of them in each lane using powered tiles. They hardly killed them. After several PFs, I noticed 1 was killed, so I'm optimistic, until about 8 minutes passed, 3 of them in the same lane are still standing healing each other.

    Finally I just toss them out using my lovely coins (actually got a free power toss from endless, but still).

    Using Goo Pea's PFE which pushes zombies back is such a bad idea since they'll get stacked together in the same tile, and if the Roman Healer heals based on the tile then I think 3-4 of them in the same tile = near-immortal.

    I think the ones that I managed to kill were separated by tiles since I planted Goo Peas in-between them, and before I PF-ed them.

  • @ForestOutlook If not mistaken, this is one of the level that powertoss taught me to pass xDD as usual, powertoss is amazing. 😉 I use shadow pea and conceal mint. There is enough plant food in the end to get rid of all the zombies on the board.

    @Perfume-shroom92   I wish I knew, lol. I actually didn't want to play this level, but I thought all 3rd level is the most doable for a replay based on the track record, maybe it's 3rd level of each event, not each week, haha.

    I actually like Roman Zombies since they bring new challenges, but now I kinda wish they can't at least heal each other 🤔

    @HenryThePear  I don't think so, haha. I only played PPt to get first try rewards for all level and replay only 1 specific level (easiest one) for coins/zps each day. So not much of a completionist in terms of completing all objectives so long as I've got the first try rewards. Sorry to have disappointed you, 😞😃

    The only level I seriously think about the strategy in PPt is the Zomboss level. I've managed to consistently beat the Zomboss thanks to some suggestions here.

  • @ForestOutlook I have yet to play the 6th, 7th and 10th difficult level~~~ I found the 10th level is the most doable for a replay this week 😉 i know what you mean, the previous weeks have always been the 3rd level 😉

    @HenryThePear Level 10 is just two columns of Pokra on C8 and C7. Use the Zom-b-gone Perk, turn on Turbo Mode, sit back and relax. You'll complete both objectives. 

    Edit: You can watch it here. It's the easiest level and you can use it to get 30% ZPS: https://streamable.com/jns8v (I already have max level Perks so I don't have objectives anymore).

    @PowerToss thanks for the video. I already used Pokra but combining with electric peashooter(to deal with chickens)
    Yeah It must be a typo.. level 9 is so hard to complete all objectives. 35M score is so out of reach, I just could get 33M( score perk 7).

    @HenryThePear Yea, I wasn't able to get both objectives on level 9 at the same time. Haven't tried with a ma level score boost Perk...but the highest I got was 28M with Imp-Pear BB. Graves are easy to destroy with Citron.

    I just tried level 10 today and was about to post the same strat, lol. I think I've seen chickens eating two columns of Pokra, for some reason, not in this level but last week's. I think the two Pokras rested at the same time is why. So I bring Imp Pear too for this level just in case. If you use other perks than sun-burst, suns might run out to re-plant Pokras since no more suns are coming if I remember correctly.

    I've just opened penny's pursuit, which i think reset yesterday back to a fresh start and this is what i just found.

    I only play it at the moment to get my 5 gems so I'm confused.

    @MAGICDAVESHROOM this happens when you enter with another device. I've confirmed it with Haem in a DM but haven't posted it on Reddit... life's been a busy. Crazy Corona panic syndrome hitting Australians hard.

    @eieio_31310  I couldn't resist in the end and tried it on another device and it got stuffed up too. That said I think others like Perfumeshroom doesn't use a secondary device and it still  happened to her? Been a couple of weeks, my memory is a bit vague and I have skipped reading a lot of posts (apologies) Just caught up 3 weeks on mid levels yesterday ^^

  • I'm still mad that there are still healers at the boss fight. How am I supposed to clear a health bar when it resets every 3 seconds?

    @Samsung_Tab_III I've not done this boss fight but in another fight I've used a lv 6 Goopy and Fumeshroom... ailmint family seems to go well against the healers. Poison vs Healer, Poison 10 | Healer 0 :D for me at any rate.
  • @RogueYumei I do have a secondary device, but when i played Penny or know i am going to play, i wouldn't use the secondary device at all. Unless it doesn't matter whether or not you use it.
