Plants vs. Zombies: Rips in Time

Plants vs. Zombies: Rips in Time is a tower defense game released by PopCap Games. The game is an indirect sequel to Plants vs. Zombies 2, featuring the same time travel gimmick and expanding on the game's story, but has not been officially referred to as Plants vs. Zombies 3.
==Summary==
Dr. Zomboss is back with a simple goal: eating your brains in a time where you can't defend them from being eaten! Chase him through time, and prove that you can in fact build a lawn defense at any hour in any point in history. However, be careful. Too much time travel shenanigans, and you may start rewriting history! Or perhaps it's already too late...
==Game information==
===Game modes===
Plants vs. Zombies: Rips in Time features a number of game modes to keep gameplay fresh at any given time. Fundamental features of the game are shaken up in these modes, allowing players to examine and enforce new strategies as they play through the various game modes.
*Adventure Mode - The player progresses through a series of twenty worlds with fifteen levels apiece (except for Corruption Core, which has thirty) utilizing plants they unlock to defeat zombies. Most of the game is unlocked through this mode, including plants, mini-games, puzzles, survival levels, and Danger Rooms.
*Mini-games - Levels that alter the gameplay from the primary Plants vs. Zombies style. Five mini-games are unlocked after the completion of every world. Beating all the mini-games in a world unlocks a new plant.
*Puzzle Mode - Levels that test the player's mental skill, patience, and knowledge of Plants vs. Zombies. This mode is split into two separate modes, Vasebreaker and I, Zombie, and three levels of each are unlocked after the completion of each world. Beating all the puzzle levels in a world unlocks a new plant.
*Survival Mode - The player must survive five, ten, or an endless number of flags in a specific world. Three levels of difficulty, normal, hard, and endless are unlocked after the completion of each world. Beating the normal and hard survival levels in a world unlocks a new plant.
*Zen Garden - The player takes care of plants in a relaxing environment that allows them to earn coins. Once a plant is fully grown, it can be harvested for a free boost on any given level, or kept in the Zen Garden for either aesthetics or the option to earn more coins. The first room of the Zen Garden can hold 32 plants, but an endless number of rooms can be bought from Crazy Dave's shop.
*Achievements - A series of achievements the player can complete to earn coins for their profile.
*Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies - An in-game shop that allows the player to purchase plants, upgrades, and other features that allow for advancement in the game. Unlike Plants vs. Zombies 2, the shop features no premium content.
*Battlez - An online game-mode that allows you to battle other players around the world. It is separated into two modes: Plants vs. Plants, where two players compete to see who can build a better lawn defense, and Plants vs. Zombies, where one player plays as the plants while the other plays as the zombies. All Zen Garden boosts and Card Album upgrades are disabled during this mode.
*Card Album - A replacement for Power Plants from Plants vs. Zombies 2, this feature allows the player to collect cards which modify a certain stat of a plant. (health, damage, sun cost, etc.) Cards can be removed from and attached to other plants at any given time, as the player sees strategically viable.
==Areas==
Name 	Description 	Difficulty
Modern Day 	For the first ten levels, Modern Day features no gimmicks, though a pool is added in the middle of the lawn starting on Day 11, requiring the use of Lily Pads to place plants on the tiles. 	1 Jalapeno
Prehistoric Plateau 	Boulders are scattered across the screen, blocking shots from plants. Boulders can be destroyed over time by plants, or immediately by Wrecking Bulb. 	2 Jalapenos
Nocturne Streets 	The first nighttime world in the game, allowing mushrooms to work at full power. Stoplights on the side of the stage will flash either red or green, slowing down or speeding up plants or zombies behind them. 	2 Jalapenos
Viking Seas 	The four rightmost columns are covered in water, meaning the player must use Lily Pads to make up for the lost space. Icy winds may appear, chilling plants, requiring usage of fire plants to heat them up, or ice plants that resist the cold. 	2 Jalapenos
Mystic Marketplace 	A few carpets on the left side of the stage let plants fly up to attack flying targets. In the middle three lanes, sinkholes may briefly occupy tiles, pulling plants and zombies in. 	2.5 Jalapenos
French Revolution 	Armor stands will appear on the right side of the stage, allowing zombies to get stronger abilities. These armor stands can be destroyed by taking damage, or instantly by Wrecking Bulb. 	2.5 Jalapenos
Stylish '70s 	Speakers on the right side of the stage will deal long-ranged damage to plants over time. Speakers can be turned around to damage zombies by Decibel Pepper, destroyed by Wrecking Bulb or absorbing enough damage, or reflected by Rubber Tree. 	3 Jalapenos
Growling Twenties 	The second nighttime world in the game. Due to background economic instability, the sun costs of plants are higher in this world. Sun costs can be lowered back by Bean Counter, but otherwise, players must manage their sun wisely. 	3 Jalapenos
The Oddyssey 	Water covers the five rightmost columns of the screen, where a few busts appear that take varying amounts of damage, depending on the zombie sculpted. Certain busts may take more than one Wrecking Bulb to destroy. 	3 Jalapenos
Ninja Nights 	The third nighttime world in the game. Certain bridges may be missing, but can be crossed by Bo Staff Zombie or aimed over by Archer Zombie. Gaps can be placed over by Tree Fort. 	3 Jalapenos
Fright Night Theatre	The fourth nighttime world in the game. Carpets are laid out across the stage, which zombies will follow instead of traditional lanes. Red carpets are followed by all zombies, while blue carpets are only followed by Montague Zombies, and green carpets are only followed by Capulet Zombies. 	3.5 Jalapenos
Industrial Works 	Conveyor belts are placed on some tiles of the screen, moving plants and zombies that are over them. They can be disabled temporarily by E.M.Peach, and will occasionally change directions. 	3.5 Jalapenos
Sitcom Stage 	Certain events that plants or zombies perform will trigger canned laughter. Canned laughter provides a minor, yet still notable boost to plants or zombies, depending on who triggers it. Laughter can be stopped by Wall-Flower. 	4 Jalapenos
Mysterious Manor 	The fifth nighttime world in the game. Fog will occasionally roll in from the right side of the screen, obscuring vision and leaving behind more zombies. Fog can be illuminated by Plantern, Candle-nut, and others. 	4 Jalapenos
Shrapnel Bay 	The rightmost four columns are occupied by water. Both sides of the battlefield are equipped with cannons they can fire at the other, so the player must be fast to repair  	4 Jalapenos
Atplantis 	An underwater world reminiscent of The Dragon's Palace or East Sea Dragon Palace. Plants must be placed around Oxygen Algae to breathe, while aquatic plants work at full power. 	4.5 Jalapenos
Altar of the Sun 	Large suns worth 50 rather than 25 fall from the sky. However, occasionally an eclipse will occur, requesting the player sacrifice plants equal to a certain sun cost. During the eclipse, zombies spawn, but the level doesn't progress. 	4.5 Jalapenos
Space Age 	Although technically a day world, mushrooms work at full power. Like Atplantis, plants need Oxygen Algae to breathe, and catapult plants do not work due to the low gravity. As the world progresses, the right side of the screen grows darker, requiring Plantern, Candle-nut, Kindle Dindle and others to stay illuminated.	5 Jalapenos
Zombocalypse 	TBA 	5 Jalapenos
Corruption Core 	The final world in the game, featuring 30 levels rather than 15. Each stage introduces a returning zombie from the first two titles, while two gimmicks of previous worlds are featured in each stage. 	5 Jalapenos

*This game goes back to using the format of the original Plants vs. Zombies, where levels are longer and slower, while sun is worth 25, rather than 50. Plant Food and Power Ups are still available, and so is the world map.
