Front Yard Care: Corn Bomb is a browser-native Plants vs Zombies style fan game built around a single, gloriously stupid idea: what if the lawn mower of last resort was a smiling corn cob? It keeps the classic nine-by-five lawn, the sun economy and the shamble of grey-green zombies, then hands you a charging cannon that lobs popcorn shells wherever you point.
Six plant cards cover every job — Sunflower economy, Peashooter and Gatling Pea firepower, Wall-nut stalling, Cherry Bomb panic and a Garlic Doom-shroom that detonates a black-garlic cloud across three lanes. Waves get faster and heavier, the care meter fills as you actually defend, and one good corn bomb can turn a collapsing lane into a popcorn celebration. It is bright, goofy and immediately readable: pull a card, tap a tile, survive five waves.

Features
- One Lawn, Five Lanes — a classic nine-by-five suburban grid where every lane is a separate problem. Let one line fall and the zombies stroll straight past the porch, so you are always re-reading the board instead of repeating one trick.
- The Corn Bomb Cannon — the signature weapon. Fill the care meter, hold the Corn Bomb button (or Space / right-click) and the cannon lobs arcing popcorn shells along your pointer height. Each hit pops for heavy splash damage and rocks the whole lawn.
- Six Plant Cards, Six Real Roles — Sunflower for economy, Peashooter for steady fire, Gatling Pea for burst damage, Wall-nut for stalling, Cherry Bomb for a panic clear, and the Garlic Doom-shroom for a three-lane stink cloud.
- Garlic Doom-shroom Overcharge — a hybrid garlic-and-mushroom card with its own countdown. It compresses a black-garlic fog, then detonates across neighbouring rows, shoving the horde back and topping the care meter back up.
- Five Escalating Waves — each wave adds budget, speed and armour. Basic shamblers give way to conehead and buckethead zombies, so your early sunflower line has to become a real defence before wave five arrives.
- Care-Meter Economy & Goals — sun tokens fund planting while the care meter funds the cannon, and a three-part checklist (three sunflowers, five held lanes, one corn bomb) turns every run into a readable objective.
- Zero-Install Browser Runtime — pure HTML, CSS, canvas and JavaScript. Open the link on desktop or mobile landscape and the front yard boots instantly, no store, no plugin, no build step.

Stage 2: Asset Generationgpt-image-2
GPT Image 2 generated the production sprite atlas (sunflower, peashooter, gatling pea, wall-nut, walking zombie and armoured zombie loops), the prop and VFX atlas (sun tokens, peas, lawn mowers, cherry-bomb blasts), the corn-cannon projectile, the Garlic Doom-shroom card art, the five-lane gameplay background and the 16:9 cover key visual.
