Bloons Tower Defense (also known as Bloons TD) is a series of tower defense games under the Bloons series produced and created by Ninja Kiwi. The game was initially developed as a browser game, built upon the Adobe Flash platform and released in 2007. Later games in the series expanded to support various mobile platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows Phone, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DSi.
In the game, players attempt to prevent balloons (called bloons in-game) from reaching the end of a set course by placing towers along it; units which can pop the bloons in a variety of ways. It is also possible to freeze and, in later levels, glue the bloons, giving other towers more time to pop them. Money is gained by popping bloons and completing levels, and can be spent on extra towers or upgrades for existing ones or even special items such as exploding pineapples and monkey tacks.
The main objective of Bloons TD is to prevent balloons, known in-game as "bloons", from reaching the end of a defined track on a map which consists of one or more entrances and exits for the bloons. The game is a tower defense game and thus the player can choose various types of towers and traps at his or her disposal to place around the track in order to defend against the bloons, gaining points for every bloon popped. If a bloon reaches the end of a path, the player loses lives (or in later games, health); once these are depleted, the game ends.
Bloons follow the map's set path on the track (unless they are hit by a weapon that causes them to move back to the start) until they either reach the exit(s) or are popped. The types of bloons in the game (as of December 19, 2016) are as follows: red bloons, blue bloons, green bloons, yellow bloons, pink bloons, black bloons, white bloons, lead bloons, zebra bloons, rainbow bloons, ceramic bloons, and blimps, referred to as MOAB (Massive Ornary Air Blimp)-class bloons, BFB (Brutal Flying Behemoth), DDT (Dark Dirigible Titan, which has camo and lead properties and is exclusive to Bloons Monkey City) and the toughest bloon the ZOMG, (Zeppelin Of Mighty Gargantuaness) with tougher variants containing a number of weaker ones. In some versions of the game bloons possess special abilities, or strengths, such as camo (which most towers cannot detect) and regrowth (the ability for the bloons to slowly grow back to its original size), that resist certain tower types. With each level, the intensity of bloon waves proportionately increases.
