Bloons TD 6+ is arguably the gold standard for the tower defense genre on mobile. What starts as a simple, colorful game about monkeys popping balloons quickly reveals itself to be a complex mathematical puzzle and strategy titan. The sheer volume of content is staggering; with dozens of maps ranging from 'Beginner' to 'True Expert,' there is always a new challenge to tackle.
The Apple Arcade '+' version is the definitive way to play. Removing the in-app purchases means the 'Monkey Money' and 'Trophies' you earn through gameplay feel truly rewarding, and you never feel pressured to spend to progress. The addition of 'Paragons'—monstrously powerful towers that combine all three upgrade paths—gives long-term players a satisfying late-game goal. Whether you're a casual player looking to pass the time or a hardcore strategist micro-managing ability timings in CHIMPS mode, BTD6+ delivers an endlessly polished and addictive experience.
50+ handcrafted maps
4-Player Co-op
Paragon Towers
Odyssey Mode
Boss Events
Start by placing a Hero or a versatile tower like the Ninja Monkey or Dart Monkey to handle the first waves. Focus on towers that can handle 'Lead' and 'Camo' bloons by round 28 and 33. Saving up for a strong Tier 4 tower early is often better than filling the map with weak ones.
Take on specialized game modes like Odysseys, where you lead a crew of monkeys through a series of maps with limited lives, or Boss Events, where you face massive Bloons like Bloonarius that require specialized high-damage setups.
Bloons TD 6+ on Apple Arcade is a separate version; while it shares content, progress typically remains within the Apple ecosystem.
