    The game idea is truly an original idea which is a good job by the creators. The graphics could use a little fix due to the fact that when you’re in a game, the frames tend to drop when there is too much action going on in the game but it’s understandable since this game was made in 2011.

The graphics could use a little fix due to the fact that when you’re in a game, the frames tend to drop when there is too much action going on in the game but it’s understandable since this game was made in 2011. The game also freezes at times which is a little annoying but it would fix its self which would’ve taken about a couple of seconds. The amount of achievements, goals, and challenges there are in the game brings more fun into the game. They can be easy challenges or they can be very hard challenges which add excitement to the game. Another issue that I have for this game is that the EXP system is not the best. You gain very little EXP when you defeat a level. EXP is used for leveling up the monkeys but since you barely get any EXP for completing a level, you will have a difficult time leveling up the monkeys. The good side of that is that you will play the game more often to get the EXP to level up the monkeys. I have to say that the upgrades for the Super Monkey are WAY TOO OP! All it takes is one Super Monkey to take out 100 balloons every 10 seconds and with multiple Super Monkeys, they are unstoppable! The amount of maps they are insane, and they add new maps in updates. But one thing that I don’t understand why the creators added this on the game is the difficulty of the map. Personally when I play the game and try out different map difficulty, I don’t really see the difference between the easy, medium, and hard maps. All there is in the maps that they have different designs and trails for the balloons to go to but other than that, I don’t really see a difference. This game is not that bad but it could be fixed up just a little but luckily there are a few updates that they release that fix some of the bugs.… Expand

    Bloons 5 TD doesn't introduce anything new to the tower defense genre, but it's polished and fun.

    A game that seems like it's trying to wheedle even more cash out of you despite its base price tag. It's still fun, and one of the better examples of tower defense on the market, but it's hard to escape the impression that Bloons TD 4 wasn't so piratical in its drive to urge you to spend premium currency.

    Those willing to dive in to a tower defense game that's ready and willing to be deep should check it out as well. This is one of the best $2.99 (plus in-app purchases for currency) values on the App Store.
