App Store Editors’ Notes

I love the game but just a few suggestions

This game is one of the best I’ve ever played. I’ve played it for years, and still playing. There are many things you have done exceptionally well, like the surplus of towers, strategies, abilities, and powers. I also think, however, many things could be done better. I would appreciate a targeting system that is more elaborate, with the addition of ceramic, moab, bfb, and zomg targeting. Like with snipers, they have incredible firing speed and popping power(2-4), but as the game gets longer, they begin to target the blimps instead of the ceramics, and the main reason I have the snipers is for ceramics. This makes it a little tedious to control ceramics. Another suggestion, like in BTD6, if there was a tower that auto triggered abilities. I play on mobile and it is frustrating trying to send bloons and activate abilities at the same time. That being said, there needs to be a way to customize where the things are on my screen. If I want all of the menus to be visible at once, then I have to deal with the microscopic menus. I also play on my laptop (during school mostly, darn you math teacher, make your class less boring), and I know the luxury of having all menus on the screen at once. All in all, I would like HUD customizable or revamped and a better targeting system.

Pretty good game

I have been playing this game for almost a year now and I’ve noticed some minor problems. First, game modes that have powers can be a problem for lower level players. Some high level players have OP powers doubling balloon speed or something similar. These powers can be very frustrating for lower levels because they cannot get them. You would have to grind constantly just to get a couple good powers because they’re so expensive. I think that they should make the powers less game controlling and focus more on the towers. Second, I’ve recently started having this problem where I cannot get into a game. This is actually why I am writing this review. Every time I try to get in a game it will just say “farming bananas” for a couple minutes. I don’t know why it does this because before when I’ve played the game I would get into a game in around 30 seconds. This is a major problem for me because I’m currently around 30,000 medallions and I cannot get any more. I worked very hard to get those and now it’s just going to waste because I can’t use them to get into arena games. My favorite thing about this game is the idea of using your medallions to unlock new levels to towers and new towers. It keeps the player wanting to get the tower and play the game even more. Overall I think this is a very good game other than the glitch of me not even being able to play it. Im not sure if this happens to other people but I think it needs to be fixed.

It’s ok

Not saying this game is terrible but btd 5 is way better. I read this one guys review (TonTiger606) and I agree with him, some things in the game are just a bit too costy. One thing is the banana farmer. It’s kind of a rip off paying 100 medallions for the monkey farmer which you can only use once per match. Could you at least make it 40 medallions just like in btd 5? Also, this game glitches too much. I was doing a battle with someone and they had 6 health left and I had something over 100 then the “really hard” round (round 63 on btd 5, the one where it send three stacks of ceramics) came and the bloons on his side stopped for a split second then continued and he should have died first because he has 6 lives left but he didn’t. Now this isn’t that big of a deal because it was just a normal battle I was rematching with someone but the point is, if that would have been an arena battle and I lost a bunch of medallions from that, I wouldn’t be too happy. Long review short- this game needs some fixing, until then, I’m gonna be spending most of my time on btd 5 *edit* also, make it where you can’t send MOAB class bloons so early. It makes no sense that i have one of them already coming at me and I’m struggling to defend. Make it to where you can only send a certain type of bloon when the round it comes on comes because it makes no sense that BFBs can be spawned like 20 rounds before the Game sends one

I love your game. only……

Hi i love your game, why cuz it’s amazing you can play card battles and do those bananzza plays and play with fire and mega boosts. but the thing where a game expires in a replay I kind of don’t like that because there were some battles were I loved to watch and they expired. also when I go into the game to play it the game pauses and my screen freezes in about 5-10 seconds loading in the screen. idk if this is my phone or what but I have to try about 10 times to get it to work. also the game also freezes only when I’m at my house with a good internet connection. I kind of think that should be opposite we’re with a bad connection the game freezes. also with the new update I think having 3 lots of glue uses was way better. I didn’t like that update really. and also when you get to the point we’re your power is you can like cover the whole screen in glue or in spikes. that’s stupid when the glue and spikes disappear cuz it’s like you earned so mutch and then on the track it disappears. over all I also like the doctor evil but when you did the think with him and his 99k health bar. I could always beat him when his health bar was same to mine. I love the games and can you please work on what I said. thank you. saber440 (my gamer name for bloons)

Ok

Don’t get me wrong, I love the game. I’ve played for well over a year now, while I have enjoyed the systems of the game, while I have one issue that totally ruins the game experience. Recently as of 2020, I have been experiencing major hacking. Every, I mean every match I play, my opponent has infinite money, upgrading to their 4 towers in round one. This overall ruins my game experience, while the game is a really addicting concept and utterly amazing. I however have stopped enjoying it due to these major problems. So, in regards to the overall game concept, it’s great. The game itself and the playing, meh. Yes, the game is fun, allowing you to upgrade towers, powers, etc. However, due to very recent experiences, I have grown out of the game, based on the current issues with hacking. If there is anyway the developers could fix this issue, I would be ecstatic to be able to play this game again and enjoy it. The hacking problem is in no way the developers’ fault, but I hope it can be sealed with soon. (Hacking in the game includes the following: Infinite money, enhanced towers further than their four that shoot blue projectiles and fire at a much faster rate, etc...those are all I know of so far, or have encountered) Overall, great game, but frustrating do to hacking problems.

One of the best

I usually rate my favorite games 4/5 stars because I always have a problem to comment on, but with this game, there really aren’t any problems at all. It never lags, it’s fun, popular (so it never takes long to find an opponent) and addicting. One thing though that I do hate but really isn’t a problem is how you can send balloons. I’m constantly finding players who send balloons to me, especially when I’m betting lots of medallions. I understand it’s part of the game, but it’s just so frustrating how I come up with a strategy for when to upgrade my farm and for when to buy a sniper and such, but then the balloons they send mess it up, so I have to spend more money on the towers to defend and less on the farms and then later I don’t get enough money for round 30 and it just messes everything up! I know you can’t really just take out the whole balloon sending system or anything, but… I just wanted to express my frustration. Anyways, it’s a wonderful game and I hope you don’t abandon it like other game developers do. Thanks and have a good day.

Pay to win

I’ve long since proclaimed that I am the greatest balloons player in the entire world, and I do have a valid claim as I’ve beaten every single possible level ever when I was in high school. I’ve seen this trending on TikTok and I wanted to give it a try and while I do admit the concept of this game is incredibly good. It’s only a concept and reality is much different downloading. This app means you have to whip out the debit card because there is no way to compete against someone who has tier 5 towers upgrades and ultimately a much better way of tower defense than you are even allowed to achieve because the game necessitates you to buy the tower upgrades and if you want to play the game and lock them yourself, you’re going to have to lose every single match because you’ll be matched up against people who have tower upgrades that they paid for that you do not have therefore you will get discouraged and it’s obviously a ploy to get you to purchase their product. It’s disgusting and they should not be allowed. If all available towers were available for all players. I would give this game five stars make it about talent not about money. It’s just like clash Royale a disgusting moneygrubbing game that has no skill and when the skills involved you’re up against someone who has paid to have all of their upgrades

Lovey Game, Few Suggestions

Hey, Before I begin, just let me say, this is a game I have played off and on for 5 years, and recently I’ve really gotten into it. The game is original while placing a multiplayer spin on it, with a certain income and power ups. The game has changed from 5 years ago, allowing players to customize their power ups and a new event. There are little to no forced ads. Now, enough about the good, a chunk of the game is closed to non-paying player, such as Sandbox and creating Clans are all stuff that you can’t do without paying to be a member. And next I have a specific suggestion for a tower, the Cobra Monkey. The Cobra Monkey can steal from your lives, earn extra money, and send towers early. My specific problem is the life steal, I have no problem with it when it takes and replaces. My problem shows up when it takes your lives while your enemies are full. It’s stealing without purpose and I hate it, often times I lose because of the fact that I have lost all my lives due to reasonless taking.
