For older or low-spec devices, we recommend using PVZ Fusion 2.3.1 or 2.4 as they have lower resource requirements while still offering many enhanced features.

The latest versions (2.5 and above) include more advanced graphics and features that may cause performance issues on older hardware.

Recommended versions based on device age/specs:

• Very old/low-end devices: Version 2.3.1
• Moderately old devices: Version 2.4
• Modern devices (3+ years old): Latest version (2.5.1)

Currently, PVZ Fusion does not support cloud saves or account systems. Your progress is saved locally on each device, and cannot be automatically transferred between devices.

We recommend completing the game on a single device to avoid losing progress. If you need to change devices, you can try these workarounds:

• Android: Manually copy the save files from /Android/data/com.pvzfusion/ folder (requires root access)
• PC: Backup the save files located in the game's installation directory under /saves/
• iOS: iOS restrictions make it difficult to access save files without jailbreaking

We're working on implementing a cloud save feature in future updates to make progress transfers easier.

To create hybrid plants:

1. Access the Hybridization Lab from the main menu
2. Select two compatible parent plants
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to combine them
4. Once created, your new hybrid plant will be available in the plant selection screen during gameplay

Different combinations will yield different hybrid types with unique abilities. Experiment with various combinations to discover all possible hybrids!

For a complete list of compatible plants and their resulting hybrids, check our Hybrid Plants Guide.

The mod menu is a special feature that allows you to customize various aspects of the game, such as sun production, plant cooldowns, zombie difficulty, and unlock special features.

To access it:

1. Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner during gameplay
2. Select 'Mod Menu' from the options

The mod menu options include:

• Infinite sun
• No cooldown for plants
• Instant plant recharge
• Zombie difficulty adjustment

• Special effects and visual enhancements
• Gameplay speed controls

Note: Some options may affect game balance and challenge.

3. Close other apps running in the background
4. Restart your device before playing

For very old devices, we recommend using PVZ Fusion version 2.3.1 or 2.4, which have lower resource requirements.

If you've lost progress after updating:

1. Check if the game created a backup before updating. Look for a file named "pvz_backup" in the game's data folder
2. For Android users, check if there are any .sav files in the Android/data/com.pvzfusion/files/ directory
3. PC users should look for backup files in the installation directory under /saves/backups/

If you can't find any backups:

• Try reinstalling the previous version of the game, your progress might still be there
• Contact our support team with your device details and the versions involved

To prevent future loss, we recommend manually backing up your save files before updating to a new version.
