Bloons Tower Defense

Bloons Tower Defense was one of those games you'd find on a Flash gaming site in the late 2000s. It was simple to start, just a map and a few options, but it had a way of pulling you in for one more round. You'd often see it listed alongside other tower defense staples, a familiar name in a crowded genre.

You control a selection of towers, placing them along a winding path that the bloons must follow. Your goal is to pop every bloon before it reaches the end of the track. You start with basic darts, then earn money from popped bloons to buy stronger defenses like tack shooters or bomb towers. The early rounds are slow, letting you build up your defenses, but the pace quickens as tougher bloons like leads and camos appear. You're constantly adjusting, selling weaker towers to fund new ones, trying to cover every angle of the path. It feels like a quiet puzzle that slowly builds into a frantic race against the clock.
