When I saw how much they're charging for various bonuses, I became that much more determined to beat this game without paying for anything. The current pay-to-win business model in games sucks so hard.

When unlocking left/right arm weapons, wouldn't it be more fair if it was unlocked for both arms? In a game this grind extensive, it seems a bit daft that I have to grind for TWICE as long in order to get the weapons I wanted, especially for a player like me who likes to experiment with different weapon types.

Very minor thing that kept bothering me a bit. Due to the font choice + the size of the type, the 1 and the 7 end up looking near identical in the upgrades screen. So often times I'd go to purchase an upgrade only to discover I didn't need $115, I needed $175. Just something that might not have been said yet in all this discussion about grinding.
Personally, I like the idea of blue blops when you replay a level. It's forcing me to not follow the same exact path to harvest blop money. Overall, really fun game! I'm enjoying it.

i think the ultimate complaint here is TOO MUCH GRIND!!! I have played for HOURS and cannot get passed world 2 level 5. Don't get me wrong, this is a solid game but it seems more marketed to trying to get me to give money over enjoying the game itself. If i have to grind this hard to get passed world 2 out of 5...it might not be worth it.

I'm sympathetic to their wanting to get paid for their hard work producing a game. But I am not particularly sympathetic to a marketing plan that says, "Hey, lets make a game that is nominally free but incredibly boring/grindy to play unless you pay, in which case it is boring and easy. For me, that is incentive only to move on to either A) a free, fun game or B) a paid game that is more complex and interesting.

It's the first time through the years of kongregate that i wanted to rate less than 1/5. I'm frustrated you even put badges on this game as well,while awesome,but *FREE* games out there don't get any attention.

Interesting. I've never played a top-down shooter in which I was never shot at. However, I don't think that is the best direction to go in for the genre. I found this to be a rather dull game of "Erase the pretty shapes".

The fact that it takes too much grind just to buy upgrades, it's even made worse by making replaying levels give less money. Might as well make players pay money before they can start the game. It's understandable that devs are trying to make money but this is beyond absurd.

I am a bloons fan for years.
The latest bloons td FORCING you to buy things or play for months the same stages to gather money for hard modes was the first bad step and the first 4/5 star.
Now this. This just ruined it for me. Its pathetic, almost to the point of those stupid multiplayer games getting badges every day.
Having to replay stages to get money before level 5 and getting 1/3rd of the cash when you replay the stages, so even after third area you still get only about 1/10th of each weapon upgrade every run which is just frustrating. I don't want to think about maxing research upgrades or other weapons!
Slow, sad, repetitive and with comments like "Our goal was to make a power up system that allows people to get every single thing in the game without paying a cent." you just make it more painfully annoying for non-paying customers.
Despite the graphics work, you lost a fan with this, because of the story (none), gameplay (left, right, afk) and your newfound greed.
Sorry.

so is there no way to delete your save? because i'm at a point where it would be quicker to start from scratch than to try to earn enough blue xp to level up a different weapon. there's GOT to be a way to delete your save, right?

there really needs to be a hotkey for the upgrade menu while in a level. if I'm taking the time to click on it, i'm losing bloons that I need for money!

@JSilvis 6,000? what a nice and round number! You do realize that if it says 3,312/6,000 bloons popped than 6k is the requirement for bronze? (Once you reach the 6k the second number will go up a bit and its the requirement for silver instead)

Hey guys, don't complain about this game to be a grind fest. Remember: The developer wants to earn money by selling stuff that makes the game enjoyable. So show some respect and spend your cash!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So getting over half of the bloons in a stage isn't even enough for a damn bronze? Jesus. I'm stuck on this stage because going back and replaying levels is so un productive and takes hours to get enough cash. Seriously..3,312 out of 6,000 popped isn't enough to simply pass the level?? Come on.

You know there's too much grinding in a game when you realize the best way to play is to just keep replaying a level, while not controlling at all, letting the game play itself while you get a sandwich.

Ha anyone else bought a balloon identifyer for 100%, the game resets half way through level and then you no longer get blob$ added to your bank?
It shows at the end of level reward of say$400 but you never get it

I must be missing something. At the end of every level all my blops are gone and I don't get enough while in the game to upgrade to earn more. I hope this is a glitch. If it is not then this is a horrible game.

This game is greed gone mad. The rewards for awards are pitiful, replay value is diminished by 2/3rd and upgrades are incredibly expensive yet necessary. Adding to that there are no skills required, it's just about how much power you have. Need a quick rework for pricing/reward

Really fun, but so much blasted grinding. Just don't want to play anymore because of how long it takes to get a single upgrade.

If you're quick, during the opening logo animation, you can right-click and set the quality to medium/low from there. But IMO, even combined with the 'software' setting, it's not doing much when it really counts...

FYI, if you right-click the screen and then click outside the flash window, your monkey will (attempt to) stay where you clicked. Then you can freely tab away and do something else while you farm.

Ninjakiwi earns a lot of money by making it a bit extra grindy. If they made it too easy, no one would give them creds worth $50 to be able to complete the game a bit easier (and much faster), but now some do. So of course the game is grindy, did you expect otherwise when you saw them asking for creds everywhere?
