Bloons Tower Defense (BTD) is a series of tower defense games where players use monkeys and various towers to pop balloons (called "bloons") before they reach the end of a path. The series has evolved from BTD 1 to BTD 6, with each game introducing new towers, bloons, and gameplay mechanics.

If you're new to the series, we recommend starting with BTD 1 to learn the basics, then progressing through the series. Each game builds upon the previous one with new features. For the best modern experience, BTD 6 offers the most advanced graphics and gameplay.

The goal is to prevent balloons (bloons) from reaching the end of the path. You do this by placing towers and monkeys along the path to pop the bloons. Use your starting money to buy towers, earn more money by popping bloons, and upgrade your defenses as waves get harder.

Each game has different towers, but common types include:

• Dart Monkey: Basic tower that throws darts
• Tack Shooter: Shoots tacks in multiple directions
• Ice Tower: Freezes bloons to slow them down
• Bomb Tower: Explosive damage to multiple bloons
• Super Monkey: Powerful, expensive tower with rapid fire

Different colored bloons have different properties:

• Red: Basic bloon, easiest to pop
• Blue: Contains a red bloon inside
• Green: Contains a blue bloon inside
• Yellow: Contains a green bloon, moves faster
• Black: Immune to explosions
• White: Immune to freezing
• Lead: Very tough, immune to darts and freezing

You earn money by:

• Popping bloons (each popped bloon gives money)
• Completing rounds (bonus money at the end)
• Selling towers you no longer need
• Some special towers or abilities generate extra income
