Bloons TD 4 challenges players to create an effective defense by placing different types of monkey towers along a path to stop waves of incoming balloons. Each tower has its own attack style, from rapid dart throwing to explosive projectiles and freezing effects. As the waves increase in difficulty, new balloon types appear, including those that move faster or require multiple hits to pop. Players must carefully position their towers to cover key areas and prevent balloons from escaping.
Enhancing Towers and Unlocking Advanced Options
Popping balloons rewards players with in-game currency that can be spent on upgrading towers. Some upgrades focus on increasing attack speed, while others add special effects such as piercing multiple balloons or targeting specific threats. As the game progresses, more powerful towers and strategic options become available, allowing players to experiment with different combinations. Adapting tower upgrades to match the changing balloon waves is necessary for long-term survival.
Surviving Tougher Waves and Special Challenges
Later stages introduce stronger balloon variations, including those that regenerate, split into smaller pieces, or are immune to certain attacks. Some levels feature unique conditions, such as restricted tower placements or faster balloon speeds, requiring adjustments in strategy. Higher difficulty modes test players’ ability to maintain control as the waves intensify. Successfully defending against all waves unlocks new maps and modes, offering additional challenges to master.
