I Made Plants vs Zombies but it’s 8-Bit

Using the Unity game engine, I turned Plants vs Zombies into an 8-Bit NES game.

I'm sorry, but 4 LANES? That's insane!

This is some good stuff. I’m starting to get into game dev and I’m biting off way more than I can chew for my first game. I’ll probably put that project on hold and work on some smaller games first but we’ll see what the future holds.

oh boy i love it when people KEEP MISLABELING 8 BIT AS ANY PIXEL RELATED STYLE.

[lokis]

really cool man you should totally continue working on it giving more plants and a wave system!

[IamcountachYT]

It looks so weird with the smooth animation, it needs to be nes level smoothness

Ideas: Make a night level where the cone head zombies are replaced with door zombies.
Make a pool level.

Make a fog level where cone head zombies are replaced with door zombies.
Add Doom-Shroom, Puff-Shroom, Scaredy-Shroom, Fume-Shroom, Tangle Kelp, and Lily Pad.

The nintendo ds version is kind of 8 bit you did a good job on this keep up the work!

This is 16bit. For nes standards, you can have just 4 colors per 8x8 tile, with clear as a color.
*Clear is not required, but will remove all transparency upon removal.
This is due to a sprite being stored like this;
00 01 01 11 10 10 01 10 10 01 10 10 11 01 01 00
00 01 01 01 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 01 01 01 00
00 01 01 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 01 01 00
00 00 10 10 10 10 10 00 00 10 10 10 10 10 00 00
00 00 10 10 10 10 00 00 00 00 10 10 10 10 00 00
00 00 00 11 11 11 00 00 00 00 11 11 11 00 00 00
00 00 11 11 11 11 00 00 00 00 11 11 11 11 00 00

The bottom 7 rows of Mario.
The four colors are
00 (transparent)
01 (his skin)
10 (his hat)
11 (boots)

This looks really cool, I even played it and I somehow managed to find a glitch called the "plant on another plant" glitch, and I see some people asking if you could add the shovel because they couldn’t remove their plants to replace them.

You should've made a homebrew nes game to max the accuracy

[StuddVideos]

although it looks 8-bit, i can assure you IT IS NOT, this game goes far beyond the limitations of 8-bit.

[NessX]

here's a few tips for next time when you make a 8 bit styled game: first of all, don't do that much shading, on the nes, sprites can only have 3 colors (not including white), second of all, make it 4:3, there is no nes game that's widescreen, third of all, nes games can only have 13 colors at once, and has a 56 color palette, fourth, nes games can only display 64 sprites at once, so next time you make a video about "insert game here but it's 8 bit" please accommodate for these limitations.

Love seeing you get excited by working code

[khongortuul]

Plants vs Zombies for DS: *I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you*

[aarontan]

bro really worked hard on this you deserve more subs cuz of you hard work and i played it
and the peashooter sound when it shoots sound like
a lazer gun but the game is fine tho

[SnoFitzroy]

>"8-bit"
>made in unity
this is a really cool project but "pixel art" =/= "8-bit"
8-bit means literally using an 8-bit processor (or compatible with 8-bit processors)

[mickiel]

Nah, “Cone Zombie”, don’t you mean the classic CONEHEAD?

[endercreeperx]

This was really cool but there is already a 8-bit version on the Nintendo Ds. But im not complaining that this can be played on PC so great job and keep working hard.

[KingSmoothcheeksPig]

Dang it you clickbaited me with the PvZ DS sprite of Peashooter, but at least you actually made it 8 bit instead of 16 bit or something and just putting 8 bit into the thumbnail just because people think it means pixel art in general
