Add variable board sizes to PvZ3!

Variable board sizes is the last thing that PvZ3 needs to be a fully-fledged sequel. Adding variable board sizes like 5x5, 13x6, 10x10, 12x2, and 6x3 for example would add a lot of strategy and variation to different levels. If you combine that with PvZ3's dynamic tile placement, like dynamic water tiles, dynamic terrace tiles, or slopes, or ice flows, or things like that, you could create a lot of levels if you added a variable tile system. It's like the next thing that this game needs. Imagine a narrow 12x3 stage where, uh, you know, there's like, uh, walls, like, in the way, and you have to build around those walls. You have to build your defense around that. Or, say, a 5x5 stage, and it's like a swamp, and you got a checkerboard of regular tiles, water tiles, there's so much you could do. It also keeps with the Neighborville theme, you know. It makes it really look like you're navigating a changing environment with lots of different topography and hazards and everything.

    The original Plants vs. Zombies even has, you know, a 6x9 board instead of a 5x9 board for the pool and fog stages. So, you know, all you have to do is take this logic and then apply it on a per-level basis. Like, you know, maybe one level will be like a really tight 4x4 battle and then the other one will be like a really open 10x10 battle where you got a lot of zombies to fight.

    What if you even had stages that, where there are like, two or three separate boards that can't interact with one another, but the zombies could if they have any abilities?

    Also, why should the zombies just have to come from the right? What if they could come from the left too? Or what if they came from both the left and right and you had to protect the middle?
