What is Bloons TD (Series)?
The Bloons TD series is a popular tower defense franchise developed and published by the New Zealand-based company Ninja Kiwi. The first Bloons TD game launched in 2007 and has since expanded into a series of seven main games and several spin-offs.
In the Bloons TD games, players must build monkey towers strategically around a map to pop streams of colorful balloons (referred to as "bloons") that move along a set path. The goal is to prevent the bloons from reaching the end of the map using dart-throwing monkeys, boomerang monkeys, ice towers, banana farms, super monkeys, and more. Along the way, players earn money for popping bloons which can be used to upgrade existing towers or buy new ones.
Key features that make the Bloons TD series popular include:
- Cute and family-friendly graphics starring the monkey towers and bright bloons
- Easy to learn but deeply strategic gameplay as maps get progressively more difficult
- A huge variety of monkey towers, upgrades, bloon types, heroes, and modes
- Fun limited-time events and new Bloons TD releases that keep the series fresh
With fun multiplayer co-op modes, family-friendly gameplay, and engaging tower defense action, Bloons TD has become one of the most popular tower defense series for players of all ages. Its latest entries incorporate 3D graphics and maintain the strategic, vibrant style that has made Bloons TD a beloved franchise across casual, mid-core, and core gaming audiences.
