Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Please update Im gonna lose everything because Im playing on an old iOS 12 iPad and have a bunch of stuff and its a pretty good game but keeps crashing whenever we open it.
This game is entertaining edits, dictating we keep coming back to it.
Im no longer a beginner but the start was pretty rough with us losing to very experienced veteran opponents and also the waiting times for matches are pretty long and we have a good phone and WiFi.
Near perfect game we honestly would recommend downloading the game.
Ninja kiwi This is still the best game youve ever made, so many people like Mr beast and other have played, we dont know why you dont add more content and push it out more.
We love this game we play it every day but we think this game would be a lot more fun if there was more characters but other than that it is very fun.
This game is our go to game whenever we dont want to pay attention in school.
PLAYED FOR YEARS AND AM 40M MEDALS.
Good and is very balanced ive been OG of the bloons series so coming back to this game, felt like an nostalgia rush.
This game used to be free without all of these extra exclusive memberships, this needs to be changed or reverted back to how it used to be. We wanna play this this game freely without happen to purchase something so simple.
We love the game and the concept of plus the ability to summon ballons and make your opponents game harder is pretty fun but the battles take to long to load.
OH MY GOODNESS this is the best game over.
We love to play the game. But OMG could you guys please make a chat thing where we can say things to each other instead of keeping it safe. But of course keep the bad language out, but just to where we can chat with each other instead of the ones you have on the game already. We think it would be nicer.
Why are people not able to join be like 82 people join.
Needs new towers or some updates its a good game but is there balancing changes.
The game is super fun with all the action going on but the developers recently removed 1 daily club battle and that was kind of annoying. Either way if you guys can make the sandbox mode free we world be grateful. Overall this was a good good game.
Fix the bug with bar going down by itself.
Sometimes you are unwrapped. Spinning without permission, but definitely with a mission. This game shows you how humans were meant to feel. Free to take anothers life at a moments notice with a barrage of rainbow camo balloons, but the yearning for more perseveres. Late game, they call it. An array of monkeys dedicated to one and one thing alone. All of it ending. No monkey will survive, eventually the balloons become too much for even the most careful and calculated player. Despite this they throw on. Each dart signifying an unraveling of this mortal coil we all know too well. Competing together.
Love this game so nostalgic and the cartoony graphic just make the game 100x better and try the game, it might be a little hard and u might wanna quit at first but trust us. Once u get good it is SOOOO fun.
Its so fun it is a must get.It has no ads unless you want to get more energy and medals ok thx.
The only complaint is that it cannot was our day and then.
This game has and always will be our favorite game. Day after day, night after night, this game has been there for us when no-one/nothing was there for us. We will forever cherish this game.
Entering we feel like the game is slept on.
Amazing game to play with friends.
This game is the best we just got it back when we saw a YouTube video about this game so we got got it and boy do we love it.
As a decent player, we think Im good and this game is also good get now.
Our 15 yr old loves playing this game.
Really fun. Does have advertisements but very minimal. Love it. You place towers and fight against other players and you can send enemies to the opponent.
This game is so fun but just one thing.. Why is there adds in an online only game? Bro would play this 24/7 if there was no adds.
We JUST GOT A HUGE W ON AN ENEMY! BRO THUS GAM IS AWESOM-DOCIUS.
Just because we have 10,000+ medallions doesnt mean Im a great player. We mostly grind the battle and weekly challenges for medallions, plus the wheel. Might wanna check back on this old game and update it to pair people up with your percentage of winning. Overall, fun game if youre not bloodthirsty like everyone else now.
Great game even now in 2025. Every simple and fun; not really P2W in features but theres like a $5 USD one time payment to play all the different modes that we highly recommend you get.
The game is super fun, but we wish you didnt have to spend medallions on arenas.
This guy s the best game ever an we an so good at it.
It is the bestest game ever made.
BTD has been our go to for over 15 years used to play it at school on the school computer in elementary school.
People spend to much money on a 15 plus year old game, its unfair for people that play every now and then, u have to spend over $100 to compete with different powers.
Such a good game and brings back a ton of memories.
No ads great gameplay ninja kiwi is a great dev team.
We love this game and its so fun and all our friends download it u should to guys.
Had it for years this app is really an attention grabber l.
Been playing for like 7 years.
Its good but pretty competitive we like casual games so every so often Ill just reset our account and start the grind over again.
The simplicity in the graphics make a feel of nostalgia of being back in school playing Bloons with our friends, which just makes the game so much better, also the different gameplays and the fact that your going to have to actually put your time and mind into this makes this game so much more addictive and enjoyable, you can say Im glazing the game but you cant deny what Ive said is true.
Omg the most awesome game of the year so far and the best one to date so we hope to see more from them soon.
Dont play this game its terrible and a. Waste of time.
The game seemed better than BLOONS TD BATTLES 2 (which is the worst Td game) okay anyways btd battles was our favorite and we download it on our phone and we think its great for iPad or pc. Its on steam but we were surprised when it was added on the App Store. Great game bro.
Loved this as a kid now Im 16 coming back to it. Doesnt have as much players but u can find matches decently quick and its so fun.
Card Battle is so underrated. We just wished you were able to customize your own battle and play it with friends.
Bloons TD Battles is a great game for its kind. Though it isnt the most modern with the best graphics, (Ninja Kiwi made BTD Battles 2, which fits that description, though we have not played it) it has got the simple – to over complicated ratio perfect. One of the best Tower Defense games, we would say. Unfortunately, with the release of the sequel, it is losing popularity.
