Game itself (if it wasnt a grind fest): 3/5
Game as it is: 1/5
Think about it.... Pay money to properly play a game that would be barely worth 3 stars, or play it as it is and be in for days of the most tedious grind sessions kong has to offer.
Either way... You would have to be pretty stupid to pay money for this

Beyond repetitive because of the insane amount of grinding that goes into playing. Also, can't even make it out of Bloon Dunes Stage 05 even with the bronze trophy and a parallel universe monkey that I wasted 1200 blops on.

I didn't think it would be possible, but I hate this game more than those energy based facebook games. Utterly boring, nothing but grinding and everything costs way too much. That's just a couple of complaints I have and believe me, there are more.

research definitly needs a reset button, trying out different setups is not possible as you have to spend hours just to get one weapon type up and hours again for another type, thats not worth my time

Ah, grinded all of yesterday, and got almost all of research. Today, reasearch is back at 30%... not coool. So long, stupid game!

Apparently my research and upgrades slowly lower over time when I'm not playing, whilst the red blops do not return, meaning that unless I actually have even more hours to grind out all the guns again with blue instead of red now, I aint getting the badge.

I'm really disappointed in this title... I've become a fan of the Bloons TD series, but this is NOTHING like it... I've been grinding for HOURS and just finally gotten 100% on lvl 1, yet my most upgraded weapon is level TWO??? I kept thinking that earning a badge might get me some significant money to spend.. or maybe the 100% would give me a sizeable reward... NOPE... so I sit here replaying the same levels over and over to get a measly 200-300 bucks??? NOT... I'm out, suckers...

How about this: $5, gives an upgrade that gives 10,000 blops every day you log in. I promise, you'll make a lot more money that way.

I sympathize with the developers plight..but the numbers just don't add up. I give you $25, you give me enough credits to fully upgrade...ONE, of the 15 available weapon upgrade paths? What in the world? In fact, $25 won't even fully upgrade my laser? Do you really expect anyone to fork over $100 to upgrade their monkey? Sorry, guys. Your expectations are just completely unrealistic. I buy in game purchases when I feel that the game gives me a lot for free, and that I don't HAVE to buy them. Love your bloons madness, but going to have to join the downvote brigade here. Just doesn't end up being a fun experience.

I agree, there is WAY too much grinding in the game, you should have a 1/10 chance to get gold bops from bloons instead of blue/red blops when replaying levels.

One thing I think this game deserves a lot of credit for is making a flash game that puts an absolute butt-ton of things onto the screen in complex movement patterns with minimal slowdown. Making this game run as smooth as it does took some work.

25 or 50$ for finishing a level with a medal? So much easier to grind a little more cash per level than try for it. Way too much grinding. The hard badge isn't worth it. This isn't the kind of game like TD5 that I'm willing to fork over cash for. At least on that game, there are new puzzles daily. A shooter doesn't have that going for it.

Night log 67: I am still grinding out these levels. My roommates are concerned for my mental well being, that I should go outside and see the light. I respond to them, telling them that there is no light. Only blops...blops are the only thing that can cure me once and for all of this sickness.

So.... I change weapons in order to even progress futher in the game, and so I'm punished by losing the highest upgreades that I have on my previous weapon? That took far too long to get? That's nice.

A button to leave the level (or the upgrade screen after you have clicked a level from the world view screen) would be nice because all too often i have finished a level and accidentally hit continue and so i must play the level after (which delays everything by 3-10 minutes) which sucks, since i then just play a level that i dont want to, and yeah, it's annoying.

I don't know why there is so much hate on this game, I found it really fun and enjoyable, a viral genre with a unique twist. Yes there is some grinding needed to finish the game, but not a massive amount, Its a hard game that allows grinding to make it easier which is what you want in a game. The micro transactions are a bit expensive but they are just optional, there is NOTHING you buy that you cant get from playing the game urself. I'm giving it 4/5

Gonna give this game a 2... its not freaking skyrim... There shouldnt be hours and hours of game play moving NOWHERE...

This game is insulting. The first insult is the real money shopping buttons all over the place. The second insult is the prices. The third insult is the reduced worth of the in-game currency when most of the game is replaying levels. The fourth insult is the gameplay. The fifth insult is that this has badges.

a tip for everyone, doom laser in the epic slot, and normal dart tier in both hands is by far the easiest way to play, make sure to research a bit BUT ONLY IN THINGS THAT ARE APPLICABLE, makes game WAY easier.
Finally, for 3rd boss, buy the ice powerup for the level, it helps, a LOT

This game could have been a great game if they would have made upgrades more accessible instead of forcing players to pay for them.
It looks like someone forgot that greed is a capital sin. :))

I spent a ton of time trying to get upgrades, thinking that it would probably get easier (as some upgrade games tend to make you work harder in the beginning to get to where you want to be), however this game was just too much. After playing for a few hours, I went to look at the comments section. This told me everything I needed to know, the game doesn't get less grindy. I'm sorry, I love the bloons games, but this was just too much effort. 2/5.

Your money grabbing is shameful and betrays the quality of your games. It makes it apparent what you really want.... your flash games are not worth that much money. Sorry

Lost a bunch of upgrades when I logged back in after my last game. On top of the extreme grind, this makes for a very disappointing game. This game is seriously damaging your brand.

If the blops gave 2-3X amount of cash, game is 4 or 5/5 easily, has great potential and new bloon types and abilities is always great.
However you spend 90% of the time replaying levels just to get one upgrade. Not fun at all. 2/5 purely for the potential.

As much as i love the bloons' games (especially this the first bloons super monkey) this game is kinda shameful. I'll admit, this game is fun, but the grind is game-breaking. You can't sell upgrades, the upgrade per arm without sharing is annoying as hell, some of the power-ups are useless, and the medal rewards are laughable at best. Sorry devs, but this game is so much of a money grab you should be ashamed.

It's pretty, but you made upgrading so difficult and grindy that it has become apparent to us what you're trying to do.
I understand developers need money, but Lord, $35 to unlock? You guys got out of hand. It's a shame, because I always liked your games before, but this.... You've shown us what you really think of us.

As usual the Balloon TD series shows how grindy and terrible it is. No one should waste their time on this game. Just because you got big doesn't mean you can try to keep ruining your series. Please learn.

I was going to suck it up and grind through for the badge, but then I refreshed my browser. All of a sudden, even though I had enough money to upgrade from triple darts to spike arms, it wouldn't let me. Instead, I had to re-buy EVERY UPGRADE IN THAT TREE, including the one I already had equipped. A browser refresh that forces me to grind for ANOTHER hour to buy an upgrade for one slot out of three? Pathetic.

Played a few levels. Got sent back to the title screen mid-level, lost all of the upgrades and research I bought aside from what I had equipped, yet retained collection credit for the blops. Kinda...a major flaw, if you ask me.
