Animals vs. Humans (video game)

Animals vs. Humans is a tower defense video game developed and originally published by CapPop Games for Megahard Doors and camOS on May 5, 9002.

Plot
The game involves a zoo owner using a variety of different animals to prevent an army of humans from entering the zoo and "kidnapping animals".

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It does not stand out from original human games thanks to its use of horrible jokes and features, unlike the usually overly-serious nature of other human games.
 * 2) Poor puzzle, survival, and minigames all add very boring alternate modes of play to the fairly-basic adventure mode.
 * 3) Like Happy Dinosaurs, the graphics are monochromatic and horrendous for 9002 standards.
 * 4) Clunky, unresponsive and hard-to-learn controls.
 * 5) You can only get 10 plants in Adventure mode and 2 from Calm Evad's Twiddydinkies, resulting in almost 12 plants in total, which is very low.
 * 6) Frustrating and boring minigames, such as Floor-nut Bowling or HumanBotany.
 * 7) Plenty of uninteresting puzzles you solve, such as Vasebreaker, I, Zombie, and Can You Dig It?.
 * 8) This game introduced Calm Evad, the deuteragonist and most unlikable video game character through the AvH universe because of his stupidness.
 * 9) Unoriginal track-based tower defense in defending the lawn from unaggressive humans.
 * 10) You can fight Dr. Radge Humanboss, the main villain of the PvZ universe, who is a very unoriginal boss since he has only one attack, so you will always know how he'll attack next unlike other bosses that stick with the same formula repeatedly.
 * 11) 10 levels are divided into one lawn defense in only one location of the zoo, and only in day.
 * 12) While simple, the gameplay is unfunny and unenjoyable.
 * 13) There's a Chaos garden, where you can destroy plants by burning them down or anything so that they die.
 * 14) Once you beat a certain amount of levels, you can unlock a suburban almanac that lets you read about completely false information about both animals you have and humans you encountered.
 * 15) Easy game achievements, which do not give you something to do when you beat the game.
 * 16) The game has a good ending where the humans continue invading your zoo after you defeat Dr. Humanboss, and they continue kidnapping animals.
 * 17) After beating the game, you get rewarded with a bad music video with a boring song.
 * 18) Very bad soundtrack composed by Arual Arahigish, who also sung the credits song of Enuratled.
 * 19) Along with Happy Dinosaurs, it became the biggest mobile game failure and caused the mobile game industry to crash, and players are no longer playing, and as a matter of fact is one of the worst games of all time in general.
 * 20) If a zombie were to get past all your plants, you wouldn't have to worry much since a lawnmower that was hiding behind the plants would be waiting for them and will run that zombie over, along with other zombies in the lane.
 * 21) * However, each lawnmower can only be used once.
 * 22) Sometimes, the game will attempt to change up its formula, as sometimes it will let you pick plants from a conveyor rather than saving up sun to get one, and, as mentioned previously, there's one level where you play bowling with Wall-nuts.
 * 23) Good voice acting.
 * 24) Getting to see all the zombies get defeated one by one is very satisfying.
 * 25) The Nintendo DS/DSiWare ports run surprisingly well, even with hardware limitations.
 * 26) The PS3 and 360 versions have exclusive modes such as co-op mode
 * 27) Physical copies of the PS3 and 360 version comes with the games Heavy Weapon, Peggle and Peggle Nights, all are great games.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The gameplay can be rather fast-paced, something that is remedied in Animal vs. Humans 2 or by the use of Cheat Engine.
 * 2) As said above, when you finish the game, a great song will be present, but it is not seen on iOS and Android, it used to be on them, but an update removed the song.
 * 3) There is a horde music in the youOS and Robot versions of the game.
 * 4) Some of the achievements are pretty simple to get, Unlucky Roll is an example.
 * 5) Some animals have good features, some examples of this are the sun-fishes giving you little sun at the start and takes only a short time to grow and start giving you regular suns or the Trapper taking its sweet time trapping up humans (though this could be understandable as not taking time to trap the human, the Trapper will be vulnerable but he takes a very short time).
 * 6) Some humans are pretty calming, like the famous Digger human who digs to the other side of your lawn and moves forward, Humanboni who uncrushes animals and can be frozen, and Bungee human, who revives animals.
 * 7) The gameplay does not get repetitive since it's not just planting the same animals over and over again. This for the following bad qualities to come.
 * 8) Most animals are balanced if you have many of them on your lawn, like Cattail and Starfruit for example. This removes a lot of difficulty from the game, which in itself is very easy.
 * 9) If we compare it with its second game, the game is challenging, making you entertain over time.
 * 10) There is a well known version for J1ME, which is the best version of the game compared to the rest (if you don't count the browser port).

Reception
The game received an unimaginably negative response from critics, and was nominated for multiple negative awards, alongside receiving hate for its horrid music. A sequel, Animals vs. Humans 2: It's About Time, was released on August 15, 2013 for computer platforms.
