Bloons Tower Defense 2

Hi.

Here is a pic of my victory in "hard"

I think this qualifies me as master of the game :-))

I beat easy level with all lives left this way.

Medium level was pretty much the same way. Tack towers and cannons. Haven't beat hard level yet. Two entrances add a whole new degree of difficulty.

Well after trying and trying, i finally did it. i beat medium with only a loss of two lives! My strategy is as follows:

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd290/cmurdock27/untitled.jpg
i first started out with one bomb tower in the lower corner, then when i had enough money i placed on in the upper right corner. then after i had enough saved i placed on the farther right middle, because it can shoot all three lanes.about this time the dreaded black balloons started to show up. at that point i placed a tack tower in the first bend, and then when i had enough money placed them in the other corners. i did use a lot of spike strips for the heavy concentrations of black balloons. with this strategy i started to bank a lot of money. at this point i put two more bomb towers in, on in the upper right corner, and one in the left middle. now i really started to make alot of money, now, place A TON of tack towers, as you can see i did :-p place them in the very beginning so your cannons can clean up any other bloons that get by. you should be all set, with the use of spike strips nothing should be able to get by (my two lives lost occured when i was typing to my girlfriend and a blue bloon slipped out of the level) which is why i then placed a bomb tower in the lower right corner. then gained some more money, then placed more tack towers. once you get into the levels with the ton of lead bloons i placed my final bomb tower in the upper corner above the other to shoot the lead bloons early on. basically once you get more money spam a ton of tack towers along that first path. Oh, and ALWAYS keep your finger over that spike strip. dont know how many times that saved me. dont be afraid to spam down those strips at the end, if you think bloons are going to get by, more than likely they will. hopefully this helped some of you guys, sorry if its a little odd, its my first post like this. Good luck guys! now onto hard :-(

Well, I never thought I'd beat it on hard mode but I did just that with the help of Evil_Mage_Ra.

My end product looked like his screenshot except I had about twice the cannons and tack towers and 10% of his ending budget.

It'd be nice if there was something after beating all three modes; an animation or some sort of bonus.

I can't wait for more from ninja kiwi though. We've got a nice little backlog of game developers that get us excited thinking about their future projects, don't we?

More power-ups would be cool! And, dare I say it, maybe some non-bloon enemies!

by the way, is it just me or did the laser vision on the super monkeys actually make them less efficient? I had to sell one off and rebuy it playing medium 'cause bloons were getting by it.

Well I beat easy and medium doing the best strategy...boomamass

easy: build boomerangs all over the central area starting on each side of the corners (so they face down the path). built them 1 at a time getting the multi shot on each before building another. If you want to not lose any lives (as i did) you can build spikes as needed, i needed to build spikes until i had 3 'rangers, then it was only occassionally that i needed them. After the 3rd 'rang, i took build a cannon with bigger bomb/range. Fill the central area with 'rangs, i ended with 10rangs+multishot, 2 cannons, then saved for a super monkey with range. On the last level i was bored, so i sold everything except the 2 cannons, and build one more cannon. Then i built 12k worth of spikes and just let them kill everything (that took a while to build 400 spikes, but it was funny) medium: basically the exact same as easy, build tons of 'rangs around the central vertical (again i ended with about 10), and built 3 cannons and 1 supermonkey. this time it took more spikes to not lose lives early but i was never in danger of losing. on the last level i did the same sell everything for spikes (except cannons since there are lead) and laughed hard: i semi tried it, but i was getting owned so i quit ('rangs having to switch between 2 directions are unhappy)

I hate those metal bloons!!! My toast is cold now!!!

I beat level 50 on easy using only SPIKE STRIPS!! and one cannon.

Once you make it to level 50 sell all of your towers you should have about 19000 dollars. Then build one cannon in the middle of the board to take out the lead bloons. Then lay about 100 spike strips at the top of the board out of reach of the cannon, this will filter out all the lead bloons so the cannon can hit them. Then place 70 spike strips at the end of the maze to take care of the ones that come out of the lead bloons. Pretty much a guaranteed way to beat the last level. It should work on medium and hard too because you have more then enough money left over on easy.

Whew I just beat easy... now to medium... I will update yall!!!

Beat it on hard with 42 lives left,
just used 3 boomerang bout 8 or more cannon towers and 6 tack towers. Took me about 4-5 trys.

owned it, too easy
beat with 100 lives remaining
8 tack towers, only speed upgraded, 5 cannons, full, 3 boomerangs, full, 2 ices full and 1 supermonkey, only laser

and little tip for last level, you should spend every single $$ you have on glue and spikes since it is the last level,

Can someone post up a full step-by-step walkthrough for hard mode? Some don't work for me. I want a guaranteed one that is good please.

Beat it on hard with only 8 lives left! As long as I could get to the point where I could build a Super Monkey, it was smooth sailing.

Finally!

Some hints!

I've experienced that buying range upgrades is a waste of money (so don't do that), and some of the best towers to buy is the tack towers. Place some of them in corners or u turns. They will kill everything in their path. Ice towers are also a waste of money

This is one of the only ways to beat hard. Start with a BOMB TOWER near te four corners. then as the rouns go on, use MONKEY TOWERS with piercing darts where needed. Try to use alot of TACK TOWERS on the u-turns. Make sure not to put anything right on the corners here the junction is. When you have enough money, use ICE TOWERS on the very corners of the junction and give them full upgrades. Also place plenty of BOM TOWERS around the map. Place alot of SPIKES a the end of the street and you win.

Thanks Nate, your way was amazing. I beat hard with all my lifes left. Just bombs and tacks, nothing else. I had so much extra money, I decided to buy a supermonkey, and it actually got worse when I did, but I still managed to pop them all. Instead of the supermonkey, just keep building bombs and tacks. Use spikes on groups of black ones near the front, and only at the end if somethings getting by. And dont upgrade anything!

i finished the game.
here's pic of 50 level-hard:

hey can anyone put up a step-by-step walkthrough for hard. easy and medium were easy but i cant get through hard. not enough money fast enough.

lol this is the way to do it: get a LOT of da fast monkey things and upgrade em full, place at the start and get them to overlap on corners 2 get more bloons, also make sure you buy at least 1 cannon, it is not very effective against normal bloons(its a bit slow) but can destroy the metal bloons with ease. tack shooters r pretty useless, because they only pick of a cuple but u can use em if u wnt, try and save up for supermonkey, that will help you alot. the freezer thing isnt dat effective (very slow) but in later levels can help, make sure you get normal monkeys full upgraded, u need bout 12 i guess good luck :)

has anyone gotten the super monkey with laser vision? I really want to see what this guy can do?!?!

Finishing any level of difficulty with all lives is fairly straightforward.

Start with Dart Monkeys & upgrade to piercing. On hard place them where they will have a chance to shoot at bloonson both paths. ASAP get cannons, these really thin things out fast. They may kill up to 10 or 12 at a shot. once you get several of them, start adding tack towers to help with the black bloons.
Use the road spikes as needed to catch bloons at the end or to get black bloons that the tack shooters have missed.

Using this method, I rarely ever lose a single bloon on any level.

i absolutely love this game.. dont buy anything but ice towers, they work perfectly, they freeze everything and it is amazingg. REPEAT- DONT BUY ANYTHING ELSE EXCPET FOR ICE TOWERS!!! This is an amazing hint !!... my name is sheila!! (.)(.)

You guys should have put a spike, triple dart tower, and a light saber tower to make it more fun

i got to level 50 (the last level) and it had 1 black baloon left anf 4 life left and i lost.

the ice towers are pretty much pointless. I have beat easy and medium with out the ice. Also make sure to upgrade your towers as fast as possible except for the supermoney. It is pointless to have towers that don't do everything that they can.

i beat this game its not too ard on easy

1)for easy start with one cannon near the bstart of the bloons
2)then put a dart monkey near the end
3)next make a tack shooter somewer that it is sorounded by at least 3 walls.
4)After that make some more things of your joice if u feel you cant blow the bloons up
5)then start usin rad spike a lot and save up for a super monkey
6)get the super monkey an pu it in the middle of the map
7)get enough money and upgrade to epic range(he will kill evrywer on the map)
8)MAKE SURE YOU UPGRADE YOUR TOWERS AND USE SPIKES AND MONKEY GLUES IF YOU THINK IT IS NESSACERY
9)HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have beaten Easy and Medium with 100% of "lives" left. I'm still working on Hard.

Here's how I beat Medium:

1) Canons and Ice Towers are your friends.2) Max out your Monkeys.3) Max out your "Pin Cushion" Towers with "Faster Shooting", but NOT "Extra Range Tacks".4) Max out your canons with "Bigger Bombs", but NOT with "Extra Range Bombs".5)Do NOT upgrade your ice towers.6) Use "Road Spikes" whenever necessary and especially to break up the black balloons (they are invincible to the canons).7) Around Level 46, you will finally be able to get Lasers for your Super Monkey. You want and need that in order to shoot the frozen black balloons.8) The reason you want the "Ice Towers" is to slow the balloons down. They all start moving so fast you need to break up the rate of speed they are moving. With the layout I used (below) the 2 ice towers on the left saved my ass many times because they were freezing at different times and freezing the black balloons around level 30 and freezing them constantly. That gave the cannons time to destroy the other balloons and eventually when the black balloons would unfreeze the monkeys would hit one or two of them and then they would freeze again...and the canons would THEN be able to destroy them.Good luck and FYI this game rocks.P.S. I never once used glue, the boomerang monkey, or sold anything.Image of layout and order of purchases on Medium.

I have already beat easy and when i got to medium i sucked. I just dont know where to place in the beginning thats all. Please help me.

I have already beat easy and when i got to medium i sucked. I just dont know where to place in the beginning thats all. Please help me.

I beat it on hard with 38 lives left. It wasn't too difficult once I figured it out.

Place two dart towers opposite of each other at the cross roads. Upgrade and add additional dart towers. Once you reach 5 or 6 dart towers (upgraded) then save money for a cannon. Place cannon in the middle of the upper U. Upgrade fully and then start adding more dart towers and upgrade them until you have enough money for another cannon. Place that one below the other one. Then keep on adding dart towers and upgrading. That's all you need to beat the game: lots and lots of dart towers and two cannons fully upgraded.

I beat easy with 100 lives on my first try

Dwarvenspirits can you post a picture please because it seems like a cool walkthrough but i don't know what exactly is the upper U and stuff please thanks

Does anyone have the complete walkthrough (level by level) for the medium and hard level?

thanks.

Dwarvenspirits? When you say upgrade, what do you mean? Do you mean buy both upgrades for dart towers or just piercing? If you upgrade fully, it is impossible using your technique to totally upgrade 5 towers and purchase a cannon before level 20 when the lead ballon makes it's debut. I have beaten the game on hard and wanted to try another technique so I tried yours. Please elaborate on your stragedy, because the way I read it doesn't work.

I got the laser Supermonkey on hard. We really settled their hash.

my name is tim weber and i have got a perfect score finishing with out losing a life on easy and medium difficult i think im the first if anyone wants pictures email me i will try to work on hard this weeekend

I've created a walkthrough for easy mode that minimizes the use of road spikes.

Zip file of the pictures for tower placement: http://www.2shared.com/file/2433958/e8efede/bloons.html Use of road spikes: Level 33 - 1 spike, 4 balloons escape Level 36 - 1 spike, 1 balloon escapes Level 39 - 2 spikes, 13 balloons escape Level 43 - 3 spikes, 21 balloons escape Level 50 - Tons of balloons escape, just lay about 20 spikes at the end and you'll be okay.

Is this supposed to be difficult? I beat hard on my first try. fun game tho.

just finished hard after trying various tactics. This way eventually worked. Follow this roughly.

start with 2 dart monkeys placing where they can get both, I put the first (A) just to the right of the left entrance level with the top of the U-bend so shoots along that path left to right. The second (B)I placed on the right hand side between the 2 paths.

upgrade (A) to piercing before (B).

Next you will need to get 2 more dart monkeys as soon as you can putting the third (C) in the North-East of the crossroads as close to the path as possible and the fourth (D) near the exits to catch any possible escapees. Then upgrade (C) to piercing followed by (D).

Meanwhile dont be afraid to use road spikes if any balloons are about to escape, some say lives dont matter that much but they could do so use them but dont go over the top. Monkey glue is also very useful so dont be afraid to use that either.

Next I sold (C) and bought a cannon to put in the same place. then as soon as you can do the same to both (B) and (D) leaving (A) as a dart monkey. then start upgrading them to bigger bombs asap, doesnt really matter what order.

I find in levels 15+ that a monkey glue on the crossroads works really well.

Next I dotted a few more dart monkeys around all with piercing upgrades but not range upgrades to help thin things out.

I now have 6 dart monkeys with piercing upgrades and 3 cannons with bigger bombs.

After this keep adding cannons and dart monkeysand use plenty of monkey glue and road spikes during each level.

Ice towers come in very handy basically replacing the use of monkey glue, place 2 of them each between 2 of the cannons where they will be of best use and upgrade them to long freeze time, as with everything range upgrades shouldnt be needed if placement is good enough.

On levels with lots of black balloons place road spikes ON them and let your towers deal with the rest, this saves a lot of time.

Keep adding dart towers and cannons and a third ice tower or even fourth if u need to and use those road spikes and its plain sailing from then on.

yes!!! call me sucky but, i beat the easy with 84 lives left!!!! the key tecnique:

a super monkey with epic range in the very middle so it'll reach everywhere (That's all the super monkeys)
7 boomerangs one in first corner, one in first loop, one in middle of second loop, one in 3rd loop, two in fourth loop
3 well placed bombs: one next to two 'rangs one above the rang in 2nd loop and one in 2nd to last loop
last but not least, tacks in every loop/
on the last few levels, you'll wanna set up road spikes everywhere.
PS, no range upgrades
no ice towers
no lasers (although they're nice, you could do better by buying another super monkey. besides, save the cash for road spikes.)

sorry its not so detailed.
good luck!

How do you get so much money?

Hey author of this site PLZ get a guide for this game like u did for bloons TD1

I just beat hard. It seems the super monkey isn't worth the money. You can place a LOT of towers for $4000.

I tried an interesting strategy. See, cannon towers work quite well, but the black bloons simply become the bane of my existence. The solution? More Cannons!!!
Tack towers, the second half of my little equation couldn't pop the black bloons because they're so small, and are always covered by the larger bloons. By clearing them out, the system works nice and smooth.

First, one bomb tower at the bottom covering both exit points, as well as the horizontal and vertical paths. Lots of choices in terms of targets for this bomb tower. Next a monkey, who also covers the exit paths. He doesn't pop as much as a well placed tack tower does, but he's critical, and very good at mopping up the stragglers.
then I placed tack towers anywhere 5 or more darts would be useful. Any less than 5 and they aren't economic compared to monkies, but corners usually get 5, and there are plenty of turns that can make as many as 7 useful. I didn't run out of 'economic' spots for tack towers, so the one monkey was all alone. This along with a smattering of bomb towers. If I couldn't see black, more bombs. If I could see black, more tacks.

Beware of level 42.

I just beat it on hard with 35 lives left. Bav's strategy works great. Once you get the 3 cannons, by about level 25 you shouldn't need to do anything except through in a few more darts/cannons and ice towers if you haven't yet. It's real easy from there on out just laying down spike strips and occasionally building another tower. I didn't have to build any new towers after level 45, and it was pretty smooth sailing.

WOOO! Just beat hard with 50 lives left... I can now sleep in peace :D ...

The trick is:

Dart monkeys, Bombs, and lots of road spikes.

So yeah, thanks for the pointers on Cannon Tower's. Beat Hard once...got the feel for it...
Went back and beat Hard with all 50 lives left.
Don't stop throwing down as many useful Tack Towers and Cannons as possible. And I use Boomer Monks in the bottom area, so they are going right across the intersection at the end of their arc.

But it is possible...50 lives left on Hard.

i just beat the game, easy as long as you are involved in every round

OK, i can see that everyone here has their one strategy. I have one too.

I just finished medium with 3000 extra coins and full life.

The strategy of ALL strategies on medium is to place monkeys on the left side and some bombs - On the right side, place LOTS LOTS LOTS of bombs, ice and boomerang.

Also remember to place tack towers in every corner.

TRUST me! This will make medium look like easy. try it

Right i have finished all difficulty levels here's what you need to do.Never by the ice tower they are dreadfull and a waste of money the tack tower with improved speed are awesome on corner try and place your cannons where they can keep constantly firing always have some spare road tacks at the end (just in case) if your being overloaded by bloons place monkey glue right in the center of it all then road spike near the end.But towers and upgrades you DO NOT NEED!
ice tower monkey tower and with long range bomb tower long range tack tower long range basically any of the ranges boomerang tower is terrible !NEVER BUY IT! toward the end you will see why xD ONLY BUY SUPERMONKEY IF YOU CAN GET LASER VISION OTHER WISE IT IS A WASTE anyway happy playing lol

I am on easy, level 40. I have 5 cannons, 6 tack shooters, 1 boomerang, and 3 monkeys. I usually use an absurd amount of road spikes each level. I want a supermonkey, but I only have 600 money. Please help! Thanks

Ok you don't need the supermonkey it is a waste of money just get lots of bomb towers and a tack tower on most corners with speed upgrade and place road spikes at the end

I beat the game with 87 lives left on easy, but i had 15 cannons, 8 boomerang monkeys (upgraded to multishot, but only that, no other upgrades), 3 dart monkeys, upgraded range supermonkey, and... over 2,000 dollars worth of nails, that I never ended up using, overall I had about 80 nail sets, and I defeted the balloons before they got to the nails which were at the very end to the top of the very end, and I had 1,555 dollars left by the time I was done... :-)

Just beat Hard with 50 lives left, no joke.

The units I used were: 10 Dart Monkeys, 5 Tack Shooters, 5 Bomb Towers, 1 Ice Ball, 1 Boomerang - all fully upgraded (by the end.) Before level 20: 6 Dart Towers with piercing, 1 Cannon (for the lead baloon.) Position these so that the Cannon is near the middle with 3 Dart Towers (taking up the four middle corners), 2 Dart Towers in front to slow things down, and one in the back for clean up... Proceed to upgrade the Cannon to Big Bombs and get two more Cannons with Big Bombs ASAP. Next get four or five Tack Shooters with fast schooting - 2 or 3 in the front, 2 in the back. Then one Ice Ball (in the middle of the Cannons)... Then work on long range upgrades (Cannons first, maybe earlier on in the game - useful for some of the "lots of leads" levels) then Tack Shooters, then Dart Monkeys and Ice Ball. Now start adding 4-6 extra Dart Monkeys and upgrading them. The Boomerang is optional - only good for popping frozen black baloons, so only get it if you're in a good money position (note that you need Sonic Boom and Multi Target to make this worthwhile at all also.) If you choose, add some more full upgraded Cannons along the way, they are honestly the best unit in this game aside from not being able to pop blacks, they can very well mean the diffrence between a win and a loss. This strategy leaves no room for the Super Monkey, so I wouldn't try for one. (Maybe sell some other units to get it, I don't know, I never tried it) Make sure to use tacks for all escaping baloons and only to use glue in places that are surrounded by towers unless you have tons of cash.

Good luck and I hope this helps you.

(Note that this will not likely work on the first try, but play around with it and hopefully you will make it.)

I just beat medium with 47 lives left. you need lots of money.
I started with

dart and tack towers, lots of them, and one cannon

i made what i call an army. i made sure i had lots of money, and made the path black with tacks at the end row.

army

press the start round button.

I did this for easy, and will try it for hard. i'll keep you posted.

Catchick

Finally, after hours of lost time, I have beaten hard!!
Have done easy with 100 lives left and medium with 75 lives left but hard eluded me for a long time!
I tried the various ways suggested by other posters then went back to what had been successful for me in the other levels - canons with upgrade to bigger bombs and boomerangs with upgrade to multi-target. I started with 4 dart monkeys upgraded to piercing and upgraded them as soon as I had a couple of canons in place.

OK, I only had 14 lives left when I finished hard but that was partly down to taking my eye off the ball and not putting down spikes fast enough on a couple of levels!

Here's the screenshot:

I beat all bloons tower defense games with full lives. I only used about 30 road spikes on each of the four games. This is how I did it (on all levels generally). There is a summary near the end.

Bomb and tack towers are the best! The bomb tower is the first thing you should buy. Put one on the inside of a loop covering a lot of ground. This should get you to level 3. By this time, you should have enough money to buy a dart tower. Put it at the end covering a lot of ground. Then get and upgrade dart towers in this way: If you can, buy another dart tower. If you don't have enough money, but can upgrade a dart tower, do it! I believe in upgrading dart towers because it is like having two of them for less money. But...never upgrade range unless the dart tower will now cover a lot more area. Never upgrade bomb towers. Here are some tips on placing the dart towers: Put them on the inside of turns (like tack towers). PUT THEM IN GROUPS!! Put 5 in the beginning (VERY beginning), 5 in the middle, and 5 at the end. If you are upgrading these, upgrade the ones in the beginning first, then the last ones, and then the middle ones. YOU USUALLY SHOULDN'T UPGRADE THEM ALL! Stop upgrading at level 20. Then it is time for the bombs towers. Just buy as many as you can by level 30 (about 5 to 8). Place one of these at the very beginning to pop lead bloons early. Then, if you want, buy boomerang monkeys (one each in the beginning, middle, and end should be good). Upgrade them ALL so they can hit 5 bloons at once. The boomerang monkeys are optional, but they are really good at popping blacks. Then, at about level 35, start saving for a super monkeys. The first one should go in the middle, then the next one at the end, and then the next one at the beginning (if you have enough money). Never upgrade them. Then it should be about level 48. From here, just buy/upgrade two more dart towers at the beginning and but a bomb tower here too (to pop leads early). Then any extra money should be used to buy tack and bomb towers at a 3 to 1 ratio in the end. Then you should easily beat all four games. YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING THAT I AM CRAZY AND HOW I HAVE SO MUCH MONEY. Well the secret is the monkeys. Having so many of them defeats the purpose of buying 5 road blocks every level! In the end, not using too many road spikes saves you about 5 * 50 * 25 = $6250!!! Don't get me wrong: use the road blocks if a bunch (over 30) are getting away (or if you want to not lose a life). You should know the strength of your "army". If there are too many bloons for them to handle (blacks), pop them early. Your monkeys should be able to pop almost all of them. SO AS A RECAP... WHAT TO DO: Buy lots of dart towers (15 to 20). Upgrade to piercing darts if you can't buy a monkey but can upgrade. Buy bomb towers (5 to 8). Place one in the beginning, a few in the middle, and most at the end. Never upgrade. Buy boomerang monkeys (optional). Always upgrade so they hit 5 at a time. WHAT NOT TO DO: Don't get any other towers (ice or tack). They only hurt a couple bloons at once and boomerangs/bombs are faster and can do the same thing. Don't buy monkey glue (however, an exception is on hard to slow the right path. If used, only use on blacks (and maybe yellows). Don't use too many tacks. If you are using them, wait till the middle area before using them. Try not to use more than 5. DON'T RELY ON THEM. YOU WILL DIE!!!!! Don't upgrade anything except the dart and boomerang towers. OTHER INFO: To win, place your tower so it is covering lots of ground. Think of the stage in parts of beginning, middle and end. NOT USING TOO MANY DARTS WILL SAVE YOU $6250!!! I hope this long essay helps!

Nice Game! ^^

looks like the formating got taken off my essay.

woop finally finshed hard. basically got up to 7 monkeys (no upgrades) got a balloon, got a 8 tack shooter, and winged it from there!

i beat the hard with all lives i'm not tellin stratage

Finally beat hard after a million tries. The trick is boomerang monkeys! I had 20 of them, plus 4 cannons.

after 5 tries on hard i finally figured it out!!! the key to winning is LOTS OF CANNONS. aquire cannons as you finish levels and upgrade them. make sure to keep two monkey dart shooters at both sides of the bottom of the level to take out any balloons the cannons dont kill. when the black balloons that cannons dont pop come out, lay tacks on top of them repeativly to turn them into greens or yellows that the cannons can pop. when the levels get rediculous (38+), make sure you keep one freeze tower on each side as close as posible to where the balloons pop out. On the very last level you should have a lot of money left so lay tons of tacks down towards the end where you lose points to make sure none get out. trust me this works perfectly.

I have beaten all three levels and I wanted to see if it was possible to win the easy level without using any spikes of glue--only towers. It took a while, but I did it. The black bloons are the nemesis because tha cannons cannot kill them. It takes a balance of cannons and tack towers and monkeys.

In level 50, as soon as the last bloons passed, I started selling off cannons and towers and putting them at the end. The cannons clear the debris and the tack towers and monkeys got to the blacks. The key to winning is to always account for the black bloons.

I feel certain that it is not possible to win the medium level without spikes.

I beat the game on hard with all 50 lives left over and 1200 dollars. Click below to see how.

I started out with the monkeys on all four corners. The top right, top left, bottom left, and bottom right. From there I upgraded the top two with the better darts. Not longer range. Then I added a bomb tower, and then a pin tower to the upper right in the little U. Then I added more bomb towers until I had four. Then I upgraded them as I could. Then I finally got a monkey, which helps with popping the blacks. To pop the blacks add more pin towers towards the top and also put down tacks at the top. This pops the blacks so they will be ready for the bomb towers. Use at least one monkey glue on each top side at the later levels on the black balloons. At the end I kept adding more bomb towers and upgrading them, but didn't really upgrade the range at all throughout the game. Good luck!

Oh man, I played this way too many times! But by the time I finally beat the hard level, I did it with all of my lives left! I have a screenshot below. I didn't use any boomerang towers, ice towers, or supermonkeys. If you place stuff in the right place and in the right order, you'll never need the monkey glue, either. My biggest hint: tack black bloons! As they come in, pop them so your bomb towers can actually be effective on the bloons inside. I won with only $500 left, but that's because I took someone's advice and tacked the exits like crazy on the last level. I spent over $2000 on tacks, but they only ended up catching about 20 loose bloons. So you could definitely end up with more money, if that matters to you!

Obviously there are tons of different ways to do it.

Gold medal!

Loved easy and medium, but hard is an absolute nightmare. Those who say not to upgrade are absolutely correct. Slap down the towers, upgrade later if you can spare the change. Bigger bombs are awesome for clearing out the millions of yellows hidden in those bleepin' black balloons. Glue is the BEST. But I agree, we need a light saber tower!

I haven't yet won the hard level, but am working on it. Thanks to all for the great tips! I am a huge fan of tack towers usually, but on hard they're not as effective until later rounds, and only in the corners. Or so I assume, since started with them is an easy way to die by level 12.

I think SuperMonkey is a waste of money in this version of Bloons TD. You can definitely spend your $4,000 on better things.... like 14-16 monkeys, 6-7 cannons... 100 glues...

bloon world is cool. i think there should be a bloon world is 2. THAT WOULD BE THE COOLEST !! were you can make your wepons, levels,and how long the levels are.

this game is easy beat it all 3 levels with only glue and road spikes and one canon it is so easy man this game i dont get why you guys say it is hard easer then calculus man!

yes, made it on hard with 50 lives left.

hey guys!

i just finished medium.

omg it took a while....^^

an i found out, that the bomb-strategie is the best. and i also figured out that the boomerang-monkeys are very useful against black ones.

at the end i had:

1 supermonkey
13 cannons (*MUHAHAA*)
9 monkeys
4 boomerang monkeys
5 tackshooter

oh my gosh i ownd so hard !!!

now i ll try hard...

with kind regards J.P.

you can survive level 1 of hard with full lives with just 1 well placed cannon tower flush against the lower right side of the cross junction where the two paths meet.

depending on luck, this same tower will allow you to survive level 2 of hard with between 48-50 lives.

at the end of level 2, if you didn't road-spike the last 1 or 2 (or 0, if you're lucky) balloons, you should have enough for a dart monkey, which will be placed on the lower right hand corner of the first bend after the cross junction, almost directly below your cannon tower. the dart monkey should have a *bit* of coverage of the path across the screen on top, and a *bit* of coverage of the right exit. at the end of level 3, you should have enough cash to upgrade the dart monkey's range.

next, save up for a tack tower (arrives level 6) put flush against the first turning for the LEFT entry. road spiking on level 4 might be necessary, *one* spike on 5 WILL be necessary, both exits on 6 need 1 spike each. after the tack tower, immediately save for firing speed upgrade for it.

after upgrading the tack tower, upgrade your bomb tower with bigger bombs (level 10). meanwhile, you should limit your road spiking of exits to a minimum - no more than 1 spike each exit per level. most levels require only the right side to be tacked.

is a picture at the end of level 10 with 50 life.

next build order: get an extra boomerang monkey with immediate saving for the multi-target upgrade, then sell the dart monkey and replace it with a second boomerang monkey, again saving for multi-target immediately after.
then get a second cannon tower, with bigger bombs.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w125/randomaeiou/Level22.jpg
at the end of level 22 - i made a spiking mistake, lost 1 life...

for the more exciting bit after level 22 (where you get more money to play around), i leave up to you to discover for yourselves. this build order should get you safely to where it's fairly fun to play, and money's not so tight anymore! let's just say you can finish hard with 50 lives with this build order if you're careful and a bit lucky early on... i've done it 5 times since i'm OCD/perfectionist that way.

advice: super monkey's are fun, but not strictly necessary. if you use them, put them at the *end* of the run, so that all your other towers are still useful and not just sitting around letting the single super monkey do the work - it's good, not *that* good! i finish with either

a) 7 cannons, all with bigger bombs, 2 with range upgrades, 4 boomerangs fully upgraded, 4 ice towers with duration , 4 tack towers with firing speed and 1 supermonkey

OR

b) 9 cannons, all with bigger bombs, 2 with range, 7(8?) boomerangs fully upgraded, 4 ice towers with duration, 6 tack towers with firing speed

how do u guys beat this on hard?? i need a walkthrough

I was wrong. You can beat Medium without glue or spikes. Load up on cannons in the middle, fill the upper right loop and lower left loop with tack towers. Put freeze towers in a couple of spots to slow things down. Put monkeys the entire last section, then cannons when you can. In round 50 as soon as the bloons passed the first sections, I sold off stuff and loaded the back end with cannons. I had 24 lives leftover, mostly lost during the middle rounds.

I really, realy believe one cannot win Hard without spikes or glue. I'm not sure I'm going to try. This took me two weeks.

I have beat Easy with 87 lives. Somehow lost some? And Medium with 75. Here is what I used:

Easy: I used 13 cannons, 13 Pin Cushions, only 4 monkeys, 4 iceballs and 3 'rangs. I hardly used glue, maybe about three times, and spikes around levels 25-40 only. I reccomend not upgrading cannons or Pin Cushions. Only upgrade to piercing darts for monkeys. Do NOT upgrade ice balls. Total waste. And if you buy them, put them near cannons AND 'rangs that are upgraded to sonic boom. Glue is useless except for the level with all yellow bloons. And use spikes for bloons getting away and yellows, blacks and whites.
I had 3435 money left.
Medium: I used 8 cannons, 11 Pin Cushions, 2 monkeys, 1 ice ball and 4 'rangs. Glue was useless unless you want to use on yellows. I hardly used spikes.
Do not upgrade cannons, Pin Cushions or ice balls. Only upgrade to piercing darts for monkeys. Again, do NOT upgrade ice balls. If you buy ice balls then put them near cannons and upgrading 'rangs. Use spikes on yellows, blacks and whites mainly.. Not so much yellows.
I had 7089 money left.. And flooded with tacks at last level.

Hope you enjoyed!
I will try to beat hard soon. Later.

I beat easy with 76 lives left(let a few blue bloons pass in the beginning due to money problems). I used 3 cannons, 2 tacks, 1 supermonkey and 1 ice/boomerang.
No range upgrades, just place your towers right and you won't need it. Only got the supermonkey because I wanted to see what it looked like, I think I would have beaten easy by just buying 2 more cannons instead.

BTW, it seemed that supermonkeys can't get bloons which are "glued". When my supermonkey shot at such a bloon, the arrows just flew by, as if there was no glue, or bloon. Bug?

i hate to boast, but "hard" isn't as hard as i thought i would be...
i did it with 41 lives left on 7 bigger bombs (2 with range), 8 multi-target boombarang monkeys (6 with sonic booom), 3 longer duration ice towers, and 4 faster tack towers

cheers :D

I completed all three levels then went on the mission to finish all levels without losing a life. Easy and medium was a breeze, but the hard level took me 2 weeks to figure out. but i finally did it! 11 boomerangs(fuly upgraded), 2 cannons(no range upgrades) and 3 dart monkeys (fully upgraded. Sorry but i have no idea how to put up the picture of it.

I managed to beat hard with all lives left:

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd209/cjlaumans/lvl50complete.jpg

For those of you who would like to know how I did it take a look at the spoiler:

Here is a screenshot that I took before starting level 50 so that you can see my setup: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd209/cjlaumans/lvl49.jpg The basic strategy is cannons, tack towers, and road spikes. I realized that at the crossroads I have a pretty easy time killing stuff, but it is essential to pop lead and black balloons as close to the entrance as possible. So that is why I have cannons at the top as well as tack towers. After level 30 I use tons of road spikes to pop clusters of black balloons at the entrance. And after about level 42-44 I start playing on the safe side by applying lots of glue at the cross roads..I can't count the number of times that I've lost almost all my lives because i couldn't put down spikes fast enough. I numbered the first 7 units that I placed: 1. Cannon tower - if lucky you can manage to finish the first 2 levels without any road spikes. I usually restart if 1-2 balloons get through, and afaik whether you get all balloons in lvl 2 is a matter of luck. 2. Dart tower - you can get this dart tower after level 2 if you didn't use any road spikes. Upgrade to piercing darts asap. Note, you'll probably need to use 1-2 road spikes in levels 3-5, just stop any runners, no big deal. 3. Dart tower - after you've upgraded the previous dart tower, get this one and upgrade to piercing darts as well. Then upgrade both dart towers for range. 4. Dart tower - this tower is great to get run away balloons, make sure that it can 'see' both exits, and upgrade its range before upgrading piercing darts. 5. Dart tower - this guy is nice to get balloons early, don't need to upgrade him to early. 6. Tack tower - tack towers in the corners are great, as you can see :). If all goes well, you should be around level 16-18 (can't remember very well) after placing the first tack tower. From here it is up to you what to do, if possible I try to add a cannon for level 20, but you already have one and isn't necessary. Beyond the first few towers I don't have a fixed build, I just try to get 3 cannons and then concentrate on adding tack towers. The first 3 cannons I place is the one I start with, and ones close to the center but able to see the entrance. The two cannons at the top I only place much later in the game. Tack towers I only upgrade for speed, and cannons for big bombs (although some have range upgrade if I use them to get lead balloons). Good luck!

I've played the game twice and have beaten easy+medium with ease. The key is to get 6 cannons+6 boomerang monkeys as quickly as possible. Don't bother wasting money on sonic boom. Upgrade your cannons fully. Get 1 super monkey and you're set.

agree with jonny t, except i upgraded boomerangs and canons completely. i have more than once finished easy and moderate levels without the loss of a single ballon and without using any tacks or glue.

Beat it on medium with 25 lives left

I beat the game on easy and medium.
THIS IS FOR EASY AND MEDIUM:
For the 1st 2 levels, i just used spikes, then bought bomb towers and ONLY upgraded to bigger bombs, radius things are pointless. Boomerangs are pretty good as well, especially with multi-target. At level 25, i had 2 boomerangs with multi-target, 4 bomb towers with bigger bombs, 3 dart towers with piercing darts, 100 lives and 1338coins. Soon i got a supermonkey (i call it a super-flubbah-munk but that is random so i don't call it that!) and bought epic range. It PWNED the bloons until the leads when i got 2 more cannons with bigger bombs. On level 44/46 i got another supermonkey and then i won the game. It was easy until lvl 45+
HARD:
This was unbelievably hard on level 20+. I had six bomb towers with no upgrades, one ice tower full, two boomerangs with multi-hit and 100 lives and 347 coins.
I kept trying for, i think, it was 6 days! I even looked on YouTube for ideas, but it was no use, level 42 was the most i could get up to. 2 supermonkeys and five bomb towers and three boomerangs. It does exactly as it says on the label: HARD

ive finnaly completed hard and if you want cheatz email me and i will sent them to u kk

using 1 bomb is good for all of easy and 473084723905734956802 super monkeys

hehe, it took me a lot of trying en frustration but finally i did it:

I beat the game at Hard with one cannon and all the rest were dart monkey's!!!

I updated the monkey's just with peircing darts. But i used a lot of them, and it worked (eventually). Of course i used spikes and glue as well, but i don't consider them as "real" weopens. I also updated the cannon once (bigger bombs).

It took me a couple of hours though to succeed :-)

Finished the hard level with 50 lives - no cheats no kidding.
http://img2.tapuz.co.il/forums/1_110261440.jpg (level 49)
http://img2.tapuz.co.il/forums/1_110261547.jpg (after level 50)

I followed the advice of Evil_Mage_Ra (the first post on this page). And just kept upgrading. Fun game.

It took me several attempts to win Easy with all 100 lives intact. Many times that I played just a few bloons sneak by.

Hints for those interested....

In the end I had a total of:

*2 Dart monkey with piercing darts - #1 located at the top of the loop at bottom left - #2 located at the top of the bend by the exit.

*4 Canons with big bomb upgrade- #1 located in the middle where the right and left bend in towards each other- #2 located straight below #1 so it is touching the long straight path at the bottom - #3 is under #1 above #2 and is also located between the two bends. These 3 canons are in a line in the center. #4 is on the far left so that it's arc/range covers the first bend on the left.

*1 ice tower with both upgrades located on the right in the bend that curves in. It is placed within range of all 3 center canons. I like the ice tower. It slows things down a bit. Buy it when you find yourself using monkey glue.

*18 pink tack shooter towers all upgraded to fast shooting. NONE are upgraded for range. 3 are in the first bend inward. 2 are in the top left corner. 2 are in the top right corner. 2 are in the bottom bend out on the right. 4 are in the 4 corners of the bottom left loop. 4 are in a line in that little tiny space on the left....they can tack at the entrance and also tack toward any bloons that look like they might escape. 1 is on the very last corner BUT on the outside of it. It can shoot as a last defense on exit but also that bend when things are coming out of the melt from the ice tower. I purchased these as I could and spread them out at first and then filled in heavy near the entrance. This is the best way to deal with blacks in my opinion. Pop them as soon as possible.

*1 boomerang Monkey with full upgrade. He's on the far right next to the ice tower so that his throwing arc can pop frozen black balloons.

*1 Super Monkey. Epic Range. He is between canon #2 and #3. You can still lose with a super monkey. While I was experimenting....I lost all 100 lives on level 50 because I was too confident in my Super Monkey.

Be careful about glue. Monkeys don't seem to be able to shoot things in glue. That includes the super monkey. I use glue around pink tack shooters when I need to slow things down for the shooters. This can be helpful in the levels 40+.

I never sell off a tower to buy another.

Once during my experiments I bought laser on my super monkey. Neat, but don't waste your money. Buy another super monkey instead. They are pretty cool

Oh, it is totally possible to win with no super monkey. You just need more towers and canons. You will also have to blacken the exits in the last couple of levels.

I love this game. I think the monkeys are darling.

lol its been a while since i did med but it was easy i put tons of tack towers all through the middle wiht upgrade everything and put some odd cannons/darts some places and i beat with 73 road spikes

Oh my gosh! I got so close to beating it and like evrything was going fine. I had like 100 lives left and then a bunch of black bloons got by on the last level and i lost. ugh!

Don't waste your time trying to get a super monkey! The regular units are about 1/2 as good but cost a lot less. Just get a lot of those!

I am never playing this game agian.

Okay so this isn't a spoiler and neither was the last one

i beat it thanks to the bomb tack strategy. 43 lives left... lots of tack carnage in the final battle -__-

Is there a way to know what each tower does?

For example, the boomerang. It can pop 2 ballon at once. If I upgrade multiple baloons how many ballons it can pop?

Is there a manual or something

Hey fjsaurora

Just so you know - I beat the hard leel without any spikes or glue! :D If you ask me I might give hint. Elseway good luck, I think there is only one way to do it!! :)

This game is easy..I beat easy, medium, and hard without losing any lives..The trick is to...

buy only cannons and do not upgrade them, start saving your money on about level 15 to place tack towers after beating level 20, do not upgrade the tack towers either, i know this sounds insane but trust me, put road spike directly on top of groups of black baloons and keep alternating buying cannons and tack towers without upgrading them until you beat the game, the trick to beating all three is using the road spikes on the black baloons, use this strategy to beat all three levels without losing any lives..enjoy!

It won't show up for me. :(

You'll have to turn off any adblockers you have. They don't play well with MochiAds, which are driving much of the Flash games on the Web these days.

I finished Easy, Medium and Hard in one afternoon

I just use bomb and boomerang towers mainly.

pics of perfect wins on easy, medium and hard:

http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg122/gclaassen/

to win on hard first start out with a bomb tower. then place a boomerrang and upgrade it as soon as possible. keep on placing more and more bomb and boomerang towers and upgrade them all.
the boomerangs take care of the black balloons without using road spikes and the cannons destroy the lead. this about all you need to win on hard and the other towers are more of a waiste of money

There are many strategies here. However my strategy is the best. How do I know? Because it yields the best possible results: I can win on hard without using spikes, without using glue, and without losing lives. If there is another strategy which can do this, the most you can say is that it's equal to mine in effectiveness.

General strategy: place towers as close as possible to the beginning of a path while at the same time touching the other path. Each of the two path entrances should have roughly equal numbers of towers.

Never upgrade the range for any tower. You always want more towers or better weapons instead.

Start off with dart monkeys until you reach four piercing-shot monkeys and one non-upgraded monkey. (You'll be at level 12). Trade in the non-upgraded monkey and two of the double-shot monkeys for two cannons.

Thereafter, aim to have an equal number of cannons and boomerang monkeys. Do not upgrade cannons. Always upgrade boomerang monkeys to multi-shot as soon as possible.

On most levels all balloons will be killed near the two entrances. Those that slip by your entrance arsenals will be handled by the entrance arsenal for the other path, since each tower must touch both paths.
