How to Play Bloons Tower Defense

Set Up Your Defenses

Start by selecting a strategic location for your first defenses and begin the initial wave. At this point, you can only afford dart and tack towers. The stats for each tower are displayed on the right side of the screen, offering useful insights into how each weapon functions. For maximum effectiveness, place your defenses where they can target balloons coming from different angles, especially with the tack tower.

Upgrade Your Towers

As you progress through the game, it’s essential to upgrade your towers to withstand the increasingly difficult waves of balloons. The dart tower will remain your most reliable option throughout the game. These towers can be stacked anywhere, and with the piercing darts upgrade, they become incredibly powerful. Don’t hesitate to place multiple dart monkeys together for maximum impact.

Add New Defenses

Later levels introduce faster-moving balloons, some that carry multiple balloons inside, and those requiring more firepower to pop. One of the most challenging types is the black balloon. At this stage, it’s crucial to invest in bomb and ice towers, which you should be able to afford by now.

Unlock the Super Monkey

Before purchasing the ice tower, prioritize buying the bomb tower, as bombs are the only effective way to pop frozen balloons. As you reach higher levels, the game becomes more intense. You\'ll need to think quickly and be proactive with your tower placement to prevent balloons from breaking through. Eventually, you’ll accumulate enough resources to unlock the super monkey, a powerhouse that destroys balloons effortlessly.

Finish the Game

Bloons Tower Defense has a clear endpoint. Once your defenses are in place, you can breeze through the rounds until level 50. This is the final level, and once completed, the game ends. Congratulations! You can now try out Bloons Tower Defense 2 for a new challenge.
