This time the monkeys are serious and are ready to take down the enemy from the land, air and sea. Utilising a new ranking system you can build up your experience and gain access to even more powerful towers and upgrades. Call in mortar strikes, deploy the monkey aces and harness the power of banana farms as you bid to take down the enemy in true bloon popping fashion.
Bloons TD 4 HD features a mix of classic tracks from the online game as well as a whole host of new tracks for you to master. The medal ranking system is also back to add a new level of difficulty to the challenge. Can you battle through all 75 rounds to earn the gold medal?
Of course, even if you do, the fun doesn't stop there and you can continue the madness in freeplay mode. Discover how many rounds can you survive before the enemy overpowers you then challenge your friends to beat your score using Game Centre high scores.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
OK, so we love this game, especially since its the HD version not the regular one and you dont have to buy it with three bucks. We have no idea why, but everybody keeps messing this up for the original one.
Very good game, its great to see the origins of this silly monkey game. We would absolutely love if you added the Ninja Kiwi Archive to the App Store.
It is the best old times experience we have ever experienced.
This game is very good we would like a iCloud feature cus we bought a new iPad we were on like ran 93 or maybe higher but we had to restart from rank 1 but is still good we started playing bloons on td 3. They game is alot like the flash game a little better graphics, a trash can to cancel purchases what could be better then a trash can. (Sorry) HUD way way better then iPhone but great game.
We love this game we remember playing this game in 2010 it was our childhood game and we loveeeee how nothing changed about it, everything is still the same which is amazing!!! Playing this now 10 years later makes us live our childhood again.
Oh yeah! Now Ninja Kiwi SURE worked on this game! It was a classic back then! We love it because of late game awesomeness, OP towers, and even difficulty! This game is definitely worth the 3 bucks.
We like btd4 and 5 but the 4 one is way worse quality, in BTD5 you can record but you need to provide your own in btd4.
We remembered playing this game a long time ago and wanted to play it again. Just one problem: it crashed 3 seconds after it was opened.
So we love BloonsTD4 and used to waist hrs on it when we were in school. So we ended up getting the app for our iPad because why not? So the other day we had a bunch of meetings and was going to be at work for around 15hrs with a bunch of down time in between. So we were like Ill download it to our iPhone and and kill some time while we wait. They are super sneaky and the iPhone version is a separate app bloons td 4(iPhone) vs bloons td 4 hd (iPad) this is so stupid! Now dont get us wrong its only $3 but its still wrong! Also since they are separated apps it means your progress wont sync though Game Center / iCloud. This is soooooo stupid it actually makes us a little mad.
The game itself is excellent but the app is terrible. It would be fine except for that there is no audio. We do not care about Bloons tower defense five and we have no intention of playing it. It is very disappointing to see that the developers have given up on this game. What a waste of three dollars.
Great it crashes again. Every new iOS it just breaks again. So annoying. Now we just wasted our money on a broken game.
For some reason, the game lags and pauses the screen whenever we get over 45 towers.
This is the only non-competitive game that we can stare at for seven hours and not lose interest! We complained to the developers about the constant crashing that predated this update, and a few days later, we receive this update. It's great to know the developers have transparency.
It's great to know this game can still get updates. This is the first update in years! Now that it's getting updates again, can we get a new tower.
We really wish we could listen to Pandora or other music whilst playing this game. The only option is for iTunes music which we do not use. We want to listen to audiobooks from our google drive.
Seems like the last map we were popping bloons on is gone but the app is loading again. We had to update our iPad to the latest iOS update. We usually wait a while before running them. Customer help tried but didn't really have an idea other delete the app to reload, losing all progress. Luckily we didn't have to start from scratch again. We look forward to mass popping again.
When we tried to start a new game it didn't work it kicked us out.
Why is it not working we press new game and it crashes FIX IT NOW.
Game will not start after main menu. IPad Pro iOS 10, we want a refund.
Constantly crashes after the title screen. It was fine on iOS 9.
Just bought this game and it keeps crashing. It won't stay on after the main screen. Really would like a refund.
We literally just bought this game for our autistic son and he can't even play it. It crashes every time soon after opening the app. We want it fixed or a refund. It's a brand new iPad mini 4, so it's not the iPad. We tried completely closing out the app, and we tries turning off and back on the iPad…nothing worked. Thanks for upsetting our son.
Just updated our iPad and the app doesn't work with the new update. Is there a fix.
As MANY others have mentioned; crashes after main screen. Reinstalled three times, crashed each time at least twice. Yes we rebooted. On IOS 10.0, air pad2. Why does it seem we customers have no recourse against companies who MUST knowingly release defective product? Thanks for defending your customers Apple.
The game will not load further then the main menu, and we have deleted and reloaded the game.
We gave two stars because we can't even re install the app which is so dumb as we played it for hours a week when we had it now we can't lol might might give better stars if we're able start app and idk y but our iPad sooooo laggy think it's to old nos tbh might be issue idk.
We open and crashes dude come on FIX IT OR REFUND THE MONEY.
Bought this for $5 haven't been able to play it once. App keeps crashing and kicks us out every time we open it. Very disappointed. Please refund our money.
We want a refund we payed 5 dollars and was ripped off everything we open the game and try to start a match it crashes don't waste money on this.
We bought this five dollar game and every time we press play the app just closes.
Continuously crashes on our iPad Air 2 every time we try and start a game.
It crashes every time if you have ios 9 or newer. We have a newer ios version, but we are still giving this 5 stars since we don't overreact like you all do in your reviews. Ninjakiwi, great work, but maybe release a crash fix for iOS 9.0 and newer? Thanks.
Just because you fight with monkeys doesn't mean it's fun we've played this 3 hours straight.
Good but why did you remove the tack dropper thing. You kept the actual shooter but you removed the dispenser thing. THAT WAS MY FAVORITE TOWER!!1! Y U DO DIS.
We love this game, our 19 year old brother loves it, and our 16 year old sister loves it! We never get tired of it! This is the best game we have ever bought and played in our life! Definitely worth the price! Thank you so much for creating this game.
We also have bloons td5 its awesome this is to since its the full version!! Great job.
Love love love this game! Add new tracks please.
This game is so adicting all our friends love it too cant wait to see what number five looks like.
LOVE this game and so do our students.
If you have iOS 9.0 or later get the lite version it's not as fun but it's the only way to play anymore.
We bought this game because we loved it. Remembered it from years ago. First app we got once we got a tablet. But now it's freezing before we can even start a game or resume one we had. Please fix soon.
Thank you for creating this app. We really enjoy it and all the things continued/added from #3.
It needs more towers for the water. Overall we Love the game.
Make more items make a sword monkey.
Fun but for $5 it really isn't worth the money. Td5 is a great game though.
This game is really fun and great, but play on computer or phone, do not buy it on this device. The game will crash once a game starts, and there are no plans to updating/fixing this bug as well.
It keeps crashing every time we try to play it. Please fix.
Game keeps crashing and we would like to play it since we have it for the computer. Please fix as soon as possible.
Love this game and just bought it and all it does is crashes when opening up the tracks. Very disappointing. Please fix.
We love this game but we rated it 3 stars because it does not save progress to the cloud. Add it and we will rate it 5 stars.
