hmmm... ppl say it's super grindy p2w, yet still able to be beaten in just a few hours. I think the main roadblock is the second boss. You pretty much need to get the maxed out missiles to beat it, but after that it's pretty straight forward.

Something isn't working properly - no income saved. Shows over 3700 at finish of stage, and goes down to 3428 once at result screen. Seen same long ago, when tried to continue too. Looks like save on server can't be updated...

Grind starts to hit like a truck around the water levels.
Easy grind method: Get gear that seeks out targets and level up the magnet research. Then put your monkey middle bottom area. ctrl+tab and go do something else for 10 minutes then replay. You'll get about 2k/run in the water levels.

Researches are expensive, but at least they disappears when you reload the game. Without them, you can't beat higher levels - so the game mechanic is: spend a lot of real money to let the game beatable. Or spend a lot of time replaying the lower levels again and again countless times.

I just read comments and I don't want to play. Just award badges for the long wait...game not playable cause no player data.

funny, though i hate it, for a moment, the balloon popping rhythm reminded me of Hot for Teacher. almost made it worth the while.

Way to grindy to bother going further. It wouldn't be this bad if it was at least fun after the first 10 minutes, but after an hour....it's just not fun anymore.

If it helps any, the Boomer path with Tech core (Laser eyes) is the most effective set up. Explosions/Magic only take off one layer, darts are too clustered, tech is practically melee until later on. Boomers are swift, strong and get auto-targeting. Works like a charm.

This game is horrible. The devs were obviously just trying to get people to pay to win with this. Terrible choice for a BOYD.

One of those badges that need you to swallow your pride, lower your standards and shut off your brain. Got there, but can't say I enjoyed it.

So many things wrong with this game. As good as the other Bloon games are and as easy as these are to fix or avoid, Ninjakiwi must have made them on purpose to irritate people into spending to offset them. 1-I know when my character is free roaming like this, they will stop moving if my cursor is offscreen because it doesn't read the presence of the mouse, but you DO NOT make it so the game just keeps going with everything as fast and hectic as it is. 2-Sometimes the game won't save my progress; I'll spend dozens of minutes accumulating thousands of $, then I'll come back and little to none of it has been saved to pick up from. 3-Once you click a stage, you can go to the upgrade shop or store, but not back to the stage selection. 4-You have to get literally every Bloop to get Platinum. That expectation gets more impossible the later the stage. Even with research and best weapons at max, silver is the best one can hope to get with the toughness, formations, and speed of which Boons are.

Those bloons are really athletic! A stage progress bar would be nice, and the problem with grinding is already well established...

takes far, far, FAR too long to upgrade. it's just too expensive. been playing a while and still can't afford even the first special attack. lost interest.

graphics and music are not bad enough to look like garbage. gameplay is very bad. this whole game feels like a "collect everything" game when it should be a top-down shooter game. i have only "played" the first level and did not move my mouse for a majority of the stage. there are no threats to make you move it otherwise, leading to players wondering why they can just do nothing and beat a stage. i cannot find any entertainment in this trash game. also, this game is an example of how greedy devs design a grinding game to influence some players to pay real money to get ahead in the game. everything about this game feels trashy, underhanded, and boring. i am giving this a 1/5 and wondering where can i get my time back that i wasted on this garbage.

I don't get it, the game says I have $135 on the zone window, but only $50 when I get back to the main menu and the core attack menu won't let me buy or upgrade anything. WTH????

Apart from all the legitimate criticisms on the grind, pay to win etc, I cannot even start the game. No badge for me today, I guess...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Nope, still not getting the badge! Still won't register pops, let me spend accumulated cash, or even keep hold of it between stages or visits to the shop!!! They can stick their bloons right where the sun doesn't shine...

I don't know what happened. I played this game earlier and reached some progress and bought some upgrade. Those upgrades I still have but I don't have the progress so I have to buy every smaller upgrade from the start (including what I allready have) to continue the upgrades. This game is all about grinding and nothing about playing.

Apart from all the legitimate criticisms on the grind, pay to win etc, I have to say that the backgrounds for the maps are really quite nice to look at and obviously took quite a bit of effort
