⚙️ Details

The gameplay of Bloons Tower Defense is pure, strategic fun. You have a limited amount of cash to place your initial towers. As you pop bloons, you earn more cash, which you can use to either buy more towers or to upgrade your existing ones to make them shoot faster or pop more types of bloons. The key strategy is effective tower placement and creating kill zones where multiple towers can attack the bloons at once. This strategic defense is a different kind of challenge from the simple arithmetic of Arithmetica. The waves of bloons get progressively harder, introducing faster bloons and powerful black bloons that are immune to bombs.

▶️ How to play

Click on a tower from the menu on the right and place it on the map next to the bloon path. The tower will automatically attack any bloons that come into its range. Pop bloons to earn cash. Use the cash to buy more towers or to click on an existing tower and purchase its upgrades. Do not let any bloons reach the end of the path.

💡 Tips and Tricks

Place your towers on corners, as this gives them the longest possible time to shoot at the bloons. A few upgraded towers are often better than a lot of basic ones. Do not forget to get bomb towers and tack shooters to deal with large groups of bloons. A Super Monkey is very expensive but is the most powerful tower in the game.

🕹️ Controls

Use your mouse to select, place, and upgrade your towers.
