Chapter 35: The Game Is on Fire!

As soon as the data came out, the major game media were also shocked, and many people here may not have slept well last night.

Why? I'm busy revising the draft!

The sales on the first day were 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and then 20,000, which was completely several orders of magnitude different, and the content of the manuscript certainly couldn't be the same.

Originally, these media were estimated based on the first-day sales of 8,000 to 10,000, and these people felt that "Plants vs. Zombies" was nothing more than a casual puzzle game, which was already niche, and the high sales in the first few hours were due to the hype on Weibo, and the sales may fall quickly.

As a result, the data behind directly swollen the faces of these people!

Not only did it not fall, but it also continued to rise, breaking 20,000 in 24 hours!

These people have a hunch that they are probably going to witness history.

At 12 o'clock, as soon as the 24-hour data of "Plants vs. Zombies" came out, these game media also released one after another.

Today's Biggest Dark Horse: Plants vs. Zombies! 》

"The first day of downloads broke 20,000, slaughtering the new game list!" 》

Player Review: Can't Stop! 》

"Industry insiders predict: it is very likely to top the puzzle game list!" 》

Game Review: Rich Content, Novel Gameplay, and Invincible Creativity! 》

Can you believe it, the designers of FlappyBird and Plants vs. Zombies are the same person?

"Can the sales in the first month exceed 100,000? Shi Huazhe stopped talking"

These game media are all applauded, after all, the data of "Plants vs. Zombies" is too good, and the quality is impeccable, even if you want to be black, it is difficult to find black spots.

Under the bombardment of the media, the popularity of "Plants vs. Zombies" has soared, coupled with the recommendation position of the app store, it is foreseeable that "Plants vs. Zombies" will usher in a wave of explosive sales growth in the future!

Many players with "ulterior motives" went to Shi Huazhe's Weibo in the spirit of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, but it turned out that he had already deleted the Weibo that he had replied to Chen Mo before.

Before, he also liked to comment on this and review that, but after "Plants vs. Zombies" became popular, he never posted any Weibo again.

Enthusiastic netizens don't do it, you were the ones who were ashamed to say that "Chen Mo's first game can't break 100,000 sales in the first month", now let's see, can it break 100,000?

Not to mention 100,000, 20,000 on the first day, 500,000 in a month!

"Teacher Shi Huazhe, come out and say something."

"It's okay, the sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" were only 20,000 on the first day, and it may not reach 100,000 in the first month, teacher, you still have a chance."

"Teacher, don't give up on treatment!"

"I have to say that the teacher didn't swear something on impulse at that time, which is really wise."

"So, is the teacher really not going to show up?"

These onlookers left messages under Shi Huazhe's Weibo, all of them were not a big deal to watch the excitement, and several overt and ironic messages were put up, and soon there were hundreds of likes.

Shi Huazhe really didn't post Weibo, and he also knew what the consequences would be if he posted Weibo now, so he could only pretend to be dead. But not posting Weibo doesn't mean he doesn't look at Weibo, seeing these people mocking under his Weibo, Shi Huazhe is so angry, but there is no way, the results of "Plants vs. Zombies" are too good, and now jump out to criticize, it's too powerless!

In the face of this kind of sales and this kind of word-of-mouth, jumping out and singing the opposite tune is to be prepared for the risk of being sprayed with blood, Shi Huazhe is a thief, so he will not come out and die at this point in time.

"This kid is so lucky? Why do you want to make one explode? Okay, I put up with it, I really don't believe it, you can still maintain such a high level all the time?! ”

Shi Huazhe was determined to play dead.

Netizens teased him on Weibo, and when they saw that he didn't have any intention of coming out to respond, they forgot about it.

After all, the popularity of the Internet era comes and goes quickly, and these netizens just want to join in the fun, but when they see that the excitement is not up, they disperse.

However, "Plants vs. Zombies" is indeed popular, and sales are also rising.

Zhao Zihao and Lin Mao both called Chen Mo to congratulate.

"Awesome, I heard that you slaughtered the new game list, amazing, I feel that you kid is estimated to make a lot of money this time, hurry up, I'm waiting for you to make me a game to spend money to buy combat power." Zhao Zihao said.

Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, I can't forget you." ”

Lin Mao also called to congratulate: "Okay, Chen Mo, I thought that your game would be popular and have the potential to be a hit, but I didn't expect it to be so popular!" Awesome, awesome! ”

Chen Mo said: "Your game is not bad, this is the second place on the new game list." ”

Lin Mao said: "Hey, how can it be compared with "Plants vs. Zombies", I have had a good time in the past two days, and it is indeed very powerful in all aspects, the most important thing is that it is playable!" I see, this game is about to set off a small climax of puzzle games. ”

Chen Mo said: "Lift it, I won't do puzzles in my next game." ”

Lin Mao was stunned: "Huh? What do you want? This game is going to be a big hit, why don't you hurry up and strike while the iron is hot and have a "Plants vs. Zombies 2"? ”

Chen Mo said: "You're only 2, I don't plan to do puzzle games in the next paragraph." ”

Lin Mao was puzzled: "Why?" It's profitable and has a reputation, and you're good at it, so why don't you do it? ”

Chen Mo said: "This is not very easy to explain, in short, I am actually not very optimistic about this type." I don't have to say much, let's eat together another day. ”

……

It's not just Lin Mao who thinks that puzzle games are popular, but other game media also think so.

"Plants vs. Zombies" is popular, and it's hard to say how popular it is, but judging from the current trend, it is very likely to top the entire puzzle game list, and even affect the paid game list.

Moreover, the rating of this game has been maintained at about 9.3 points, and there must be some competitors in it who are brushing low scores, but it is useless, and the rating has never dropped 9 points, which shows the popularity of this game!

There are also very few players who apply for refunds!

The official app store can apply for a refund, as long as the game duration is relatively short and the reason for the refund is sufficient, the refund can be successful.

However, Plants vs. Zombies players rarely ask for a refund, which shows that they approve of the game and intend to play it for a long time!

In the eyes of major game media and game designers, Chen Mo's first game can be said to be stable, accurate, and ruthless, which has been a great success, and will inevitably bring a wave of trends.

Puzzle games have always been a popular genre, but few have been able to do it to the extreme. Puzzle games can naturally cover a large number of user groups, and they are games suitable for all ages, so as long as they are popular, they will be popular, and they will never have to worry about the number of players.

Moreover, puzzle games do not have such a high threshold, and the average C-level and D-level game designer can do it, and the only thing needed is creativity.

None of the game designers in this world feel that their creative abilities are lacking.

So, some designers and game media are wondering which way the wind is going.

Will "Plants vs. Zombies" become a spark and ignite the entire puzzle game market?

Is it the golden age of puzzle games?

All of this can only be understood by looking at the data after it.

However, what everyone doesn't know is that Chen Mo, the designer of this game, has no intention of continuing to develop puzzle games.

At least not for the time being.
