Players actively criticized the Plants vs. Zombies Replanted remaster upon release. The developers responded to the feedback and began releasing patches for the game.
The recent 1.4 update added a number of requested features to the game:
- Remote Play Together support has been added: Steam users will be able to launch "local multiplayer mode" with online friends. The second player will need to use a gamepad.
- Added accessibility features: you can remove screen shake; slow down the game speed; use high contrast mode.
- Introduced the "solar vacuum" function: pressing the right trigger/R2/ZR on gamepads or the spacebar on the keyboard activates a "vacuum" that will collect all the suns on the level.
Added additional hotkeys:
- Tab - switch game speed.
- Spacebar - "solar vacuum".
- Number keys 1 - 0 can be used to interact with seed packets during gameplay.
