Bloons TD 5 is a great tower defense game that will give you hours and hours of fun. Here are some general tips to help you get started and familiarized with the game. There's something about the monkeys and balloons in Bloons TD 5 that's simply delightful. Your cute primate friends come in all shapes and sizes from pirates to super heroes. Your enemies, the balloons, seem so innocent and innocuous — of course they would, they're balloons. Yet the scenario remains: if the balloons get to the end, you'll lose lives so your cute primates must do battle with evil.

There's no story, it just is the way of the world, and it sets a tone for Bloons that evokes a childlike sense of joy that just works. It's a tower defense game that owns its world, knows its identity, and never lets itself be more than it should be. The result is a product worth the time of anyone looking for a little piece of happiness. The gameplay in Bloons is simple enough. You build monkeys, which act as the game's towers, and then upgrade them to stop wave after wave of balloons. Balloons follow a set path so you can't create a maze to slow them down, but otherwise you're free to place your towers as you please. While the game is not an action tower defense game, you can upgrade towers to have special abilities you can trigger during waves and some towers do damage based on the location of your cursor, so if you're looking for an active role during waves it's there but not required. It's simple but the towers and level design will keep you coming back for more.

In most tower defense games, you'll unlock stuff as you progress through the stages. BTD5 uses a Rank system instead where you'll gain experience as you destroy bloons and complete missions. Ranking up unlocks more tower, upgrades, missions, modes, and many more. Let's take a look at this guide, guys!
