Bloons Tower Defense
Bloons Tower Defense is a casual game where your mission is to build and fortify your defenses to stop an ever-growing wave of colorful balloons from reaching the end of the track. This classic game started the legendary Bloons TD series and continues some of the gameplay. You must strategically place a wide variety of units, from dart-throwing monkeys to powerful turrets, and enhance them with upgrades to maximize your popping power. As the levels progress, so do the challenges.
How to Play Bloons Tower Defense
Stack your towers
Find a good place to put your first defenses and start the first wave. You can only afford the dart and tack towers at this stage. The stats for each weapon are written on the right side and provide helpful information on how the towers work. Placing your defenses in areas that cover the pathways from multiple angles is best, especially where the tack tower is concerned.
Buy upgrades
As the levels progress, you’ll need to upgrade your existing towers to ensure you can hold back the increasing waves of balloons. Your strongest piece throughout the game will be the dart tower. These can stack anywhere and are very powerful with the piercing darts upgrade, so don’t hold back from stacking these potent monkeys together.
Expand to new defenses
Other balloon types that move faster, contain multiple balloons inside them, and require greater firepower are added into the mix on later levels. The trickiest of all is the black balloon. At this stage it’s necessary to consider the bomb and ice tower, which you should be able to afford at this point.
Get the super monkey
You should first buy the bomb tower before buying the ice tower, as only bombs can pop frozen balloons. Things can get out of hand quickly as you get into the later game. You must think faster and build more proactively to ensure the balloons don’t break through your defenses. Eventually, you’ll be able to afford the super monkey, which shreds balloons like a machine.
Complete the game
Bloons Tower Defense doesn’t last forever. Once you’ve got all your defenses in the right place, you can coast through until level 50. This is the final round, and completing it ends the game. Congratulations! Now it’s time to play Bloons Tower Defense 2.
"Bloods Tower Defence is a game that we enjoy taking turns to play or working together to decide which towers to upgrade. There are more advanced versions you can play, but this is a great place to start. As a parent, I appreciate how it teaches my kids how to prioritize limited resources, work out the ideal sequence, and, of course, stay calm under pressure. For such a simple game, it offers a disproportionate amount of fun." --Quick review by FamilyGamingDatabase.
