Director George Fan was inspired to make the game after playing other tower defense titles and desiring to eliminate the typical strategies of sending advancing enemies through mazes of defenses, instead adapting the lane approach to remove this strategy. Players must plan defenses in multiple 'lanes' across the home's lawn and should a zombie make it to the house on any lane, the game is over. To defend their home from zombies, some which have unique abilities, the player uses plants that can fire projectiles at the advancing zombies or have other effects on the approaching hoard.
Zombies, players take the role of a homeowner in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.
