Lawn of the Dead - Halloween 2007 (0.92)#

A build dated somewhere in October of 2007 based on the build's window title. The most notable things are the Sunflower, which costs 100 sun instead of 50, and the UI which most are crudely drawn and visuals are similar to final game, but partially still use Insaniquarium's UI. The lawnmowers have a more conventional and realistic-looking design, and It looks like you are also given 200 sun to start off instead of the final game's 50.

The same exact build with the level following from 1-3. One new difference is that the wave meter has a more crude and pale design.

Same build after 1-4, but the most notable thing is that the potato mine is HUGE compared to the final game and costs 50 sun. Interestingly enough, 1-5 in the release of the game is the Wall-Nut Bowling mini-game, but it looks like this was not considered yet for this level.

Lawn of the Dead - 0.93#

The version Lawn of the Dead - 0.93 was released on April 1, 2008 as an April Fools joke for the PopCap beta testers while Plants vs. Zombies was in development.¹ It inspired the creation of Zombie Yeti.²
