Hot mini-games: Classics never go out of style, and "Plants vs. Zombies" is a multi-platform list
In the WeChat mini game popularity list, the classic tower defense game "Plants vs. Zombies Original" won the top spot in another week, and "See Who Can Clear the Customs" and "Catch the Big Goose" by Lanfei Mutual Entertainment also have super high popularity. They finished 2nd and 3rd on the list, respectively. At the same time, the synthesis + lawn mowing gameplay of "Master Rush" and the tower defense game "Shoot at Zombies" also successfully reached the top 10 of the popularity list this week, and they are currently ranked 9th and 10th on the list respectively.
Among them, "Master Rush" is actually the same product released under different names from the previously popular "Garden Raider", and the core gameplay of the game combines the space utilization and "bullseye like" elements of "Backpack Hero". After entering the game, players need to make full use of the limited backpack space, choose items of different shapes and sizes, put them in the backpack, or combine the same props into two in one to synthesize more advanced props, which will help us defeat the enemy in the subsequent battle. Similar to the "bullseye like" setting, during the battle, the system will also randomly release three options, and players can freely choose combinations to improve their combat and defense capabilities.

At the same time, the tower defense game "Plants vs. Zombies" is not only popular with WeChat mini game players, but also very competitive in other game platforms, and this week the game made it to the top 4 of Douyin mini games and the top 9 of iOS free games. As one of the world's most well-known classic tower defense games, "Plants vs. Zombies" has been in the green for more than a decade, and recently the game has exploded again because of the player-created "hybrid version".
In May, "Plants vs. Zombies" produced by "Submarine Weiwei Fans" swiped the screen all over the network, and all kinds of unexpected hybrid plants and zombies were launched, attracting many new and old players and game anchors to join the game, and the producer's B station account fans soared all the way, and soon exceeded 3.9 million people, and even the thank you video he posted easily reached 15 million times.
On June 19th, catalyzed by the huge heat, "Plants vs. Zombies" officially announced that it had reached a cooperation with the producer, and the "hybrid version" gameplay had been settled in the mini program version of "Plants vs. Zombies". Since then, players can play the "hybrid version" more easily, and the producer of "Wild Road" has been officially recognized, and the game official has also grasped this wave of hard-won popularity, which can be a win-win situation.
