Preparation

GET ANY MACRO PROGRAM

Bad news first - to get the most out of the glitch, you need to use a macro, this is necessary so that getting the achievement is EASY and not just doable. If achievement would be easy, then you would be not search for a such guide anyway.
If you are an experienced PC user, you may already have a program for macros, or you yourself can easely find a program that suits you and make your own code by my guide.
But if you are a dummy like me, i will make detailed step-by-step guide, if all you want is getting that annoying achievement.

There is a link to a free portable russian only :( program

https://softcatalog.info/ru/programmy/clickermann

Macro creation

After downloading the .zip archive, unpack it and run the Clickermann.exe

1) PRESS THE "РЕДАКТОР" BUTTON ("REDACTOR").

2) THAT'S HOW FRESH REDACTOR WINDOW LOOKS LIKE:

3) REPLACE ALL THE STRINGS WITH THAT CODE (COPY AND PASTE IT):

$var1 = $_xmouse
$var2 = $_ymouse

lclick(310, 34)
lclick($var1, $var2)
WAITMS(50)

lclick(310, 34)
lclick($var1, $var2)
WAITMS(50)

lclick(310, 34)
lclick($var1, $var2)
WAITMS(50)

lclick(310, 34)
lclick($var1, $var2)
WAITMS(50)

lclick(310, 34)
lclick($var1, $var2)
WAITMS(50)

lclick(310, 34)
lclick($var1, $var2)
WAITMS(50)

HALT

4) PRESS THE CLOSING CROSS AND THEN PRESS "YES" WHEN YOU GET THE PROMT
Also you can save the code, if you planning to use such macro later.

It's a Clickermann only code, it's will not work on other macro apps, i will explain the logic of code later.

Explaining the code

In case you need help for creating your own macro for different macro app (for advanced dummies).

/Remember the mouse position (coordinates of sunflower);
$var1 = $_xmouse
$var2 = $_ymouse

/Pick the Bungee Zombie in seed belt (310, 34 is his screen coordinates)
lclick(310, 34)

/Click the previous mouse position
lclick($var1, $var2)

/Wait a bit so computer has time to think and to action
WAITMS(50)

/Without that command the cycle will stop only if you press ALT+S combination.
HALT

How to use macro

PRESS ALT+A WHEN YOUR MOUSE IS OVER THE SUNFLOWER

Make sure Clickermann (or any other macro programm you have used) is running when you open the game.
Bungee Glitch is very simple: you can grab one sunflower with a multiple Bungee Zombies and it will count as if you steal multiple sunflowers. But it's pretty challenging to steal even three sunflower at the same time, and if you miss a little, you will fail.
That's what macro for - it will guarantee us six times more sun than is possible without the such glitch! All you have to do is to hover mouse over the sunflower and then press ALT+A key combination.

Useful tips

Just to be sure you will get to Round 10, follow the listed tips:

Don't use Glitch early on, you just have not enough sun for multiple bungees, clear 1-2 levels legitimely;
Frost Pea Shooter WILL screw your Bungees up - feel free to bungee-steal it first;
Umbrella Leaf WILL screw your Bungees up - don't waste your bungees if sunflower is in 3x3 zone around the Umbrella;
Ignore the Chomper - minus 1 bungee is not a big problem;
Be afraid of squash - take it out before glitching the sunflower nearby or all your bungees will get flattered like it's 4am;
Don't be wasterful! Just because you are rich it doesn't mean you can freely send armies per each lane, your sun may end quckly with such attitude;
Athlete zombies are useful when ignoring first obstacle is better than waste other zombies to deal with them. Like example, he can jump over the final plant rather than getting killed trying to take it down ;
Zombie Miner is great for clearing lines, it can kill split pea if it last plant in the row, but sometimes chompers will eat him from behide and mines 100% will blow him up. And do not forget about Magnets!
Do not forget about Magnets and Umbrellas, it's easy to do so. They are high priority targets;
Double Conehead are better than 1 Buckethead zombie and are equal to 1 Handegg Football zombie, but also cheaper, they are immune to Magnet schooms, they can counter RNG bastard cornpult, but Fume Schroome is their weakness;
Ladder counter the Frost Pea Shooter - you can sent him ahead of the conehead or even alone to deal with line with a Frost Pea Shooter;
Dancers are useful in layouts with A LOT of squashes, potato mines and chompers, in such conditions they are better than imps, but you have to make sure main dancer is covered - send a conehead ahead him;
Imps are 3x as weak as usual - they even unable to defeat the puffshroom! They can pass over one spikeweed but second will kill them. Sometimes it's better to send Athlete - it's such as fast, but has more hp and can jump over any plants but squash;

Cheating?

Yes, it's may be considered as cheating by some people, twatever.
Nobody forcing you to use the glitch, but RNG-based achievements are don't deserve to be seem like a something truly worthwile.

Also, by Astats standarts macros and glitch abusing is allowed when hunting for achievements.

Create a script RunZombie.ahk with the following code (to bind the key k to trigger the macro execution) :
=================================================================================
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
k::Run "<ExePath>\Zombie.exe"

Compile with AutoHotkey Dash :
=========================
This will generate by default in your script path the executable RunZombie.exe

Launch the RunZombie.exe and press K key on the sunflower you want to gather 5 times

Thank you Michanicks for your macro and for my achievment ^_^

Other tool to use the Michanicks's macro without russian tool for windows :
=========================================================
https://www.autohotkey.com/

Create a script Zombie.ahk with the following code (5 bungee zombie) :
======================================================
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

MouseGetPos &VarXMouse, &VarYMouse

MouseClick "left", 310, 34
MouseClick "left", VarXMouse, VarYMouse
Sleep 50

MouseClick "left", 310, 34
MouseClick "left", VarXMouse, VarYMouse
Sleep 50

MouseClick "left", 310, 34
MouseClick "left", VarXMouse, VarYMouse
Sleep 50

MouseClick "left", 310, 34
MouseClick "left", VarXMouse, VarYMouse
Sleep 50

MouseClick "left", 310, 34
MouseClick "left", VarXMouse, VarYMouse

Compile with AutoHotkey Dash :
=========================
This will install the Ahk2Exe (to convert script to EXE) and generate by default in your script path the executable Zombie.exe

whos the artist of the art? (and where can i follow them?)

VoltaN 9 Jan, 2023 @ 7:58am

@Alviro I tried it and it works fine with the Steam version. You have to turn 3D-Acceleration of, otherwise it won't work.

Michanicks [author] 25 Sep, 2022 @ 4:20am

I may be wrong, but the only way i suppose i can help is to assume you running the "empty" programm, when is has no listed code. Try to use Redactor again, imput the code, close the redactor (press cross) and then press OK, but do not close Cliccerman before you launch the game.

If it will not work, then i don't know.

when I'm inside the game and I point with the mouse the sunflower, I press ALT+A and the program makes two different sounds, but it's not doing nothing inside the game... :(((

Michanicks [author] 24 Sep, 2022 @ 7:06pm

Alviro, at which step?

coquitofresquito 24 Sep, 2022 @ 7:14am

does not work for me
