Bloons tower defense 3 blue
The goal of the game is to try to stop enemy “bloons” from crossing through the maze by building towers, which shoot at them as they pass. The game has three difficulty options: easy, medium, and hard. There are 8 levels to choose from, four of which need to be unlocked by beating the first 4. Tower defense games are part of the sub-genre of real-time strategy (RTS) computer games, which are a sub-genre of strategy video games. I will elaborate on this in the following paragraphs, but first I will give a brief description of the game basics. Once this association is created within the mind of the player it is easy to see how the goal of the game would feed into a negative interpretation.
This might be a far-reaching idea, but the misspelling of the word gives players a feeling of unfamiliarity, which could be interpreted as “foreign”. While it is obvious by nature that this game promotes a warlike simulation, I would like to argue that there are several underlying subtleties that might create a subconscious negative feeling towards foreigners.īeginning with the title of the game, tower defense gives players a clear idea of the game mechanics, but what about “bloons”. Characteristic of RTS games, BTD3 players must overcome strategic, tactical, and sometimes logistical challenges. According to previous version users, the newer version offered more tracks, better towers and upgraded gameplay mechanics. I had never played the earlier versions, however, the general sentiment is that I didn’t miss much.
I was first introduced to the game at its launch in early September 2008. The game brags 25,955 fans on Facebook, a number that has grown by approximately 300 people in one week.
#BLOONS TOWER DEFENSE 3 BLUE SERIES#
Spawns four CBs.Bloons Tower Defense 3 (BTD3) is the third of the Bloons Tower Defense series and an excellent addition to the collection of Bloons Games.

CB - Takes several shots to destroy, spawns 2 Rainbows.Lead - Spawns 2 Blacks, Slow, but immune to anything sharp.Zebra - Spawns White and Black, Immune to bomb and ice.Camo - Spawns 2 pinks, Need to be detected with Monkey Beacon.Should the player beat all waves on a map, there is a "free play" mode available after you complete the level, allowing the player to continue playing indefinitely. Each map can be played on 3 difficulties, Easy, Medium and Hard. Some tracks feature bloons coming in from multiple paths at once.
There are eight maps, but four of them can only be played from Ninjakiwi. Placing towers can be tricky as there's no grid system, so sometimes you'll have to find just a few available pixels to place towers on in tight groups.
You can change the targeting mode on each individual tower to "first" or "last", which is useful for towers with piercing abilities. All towers can be upgraded and gain additional functions. There are 12 types of towers and 4 single use items. The basic tower, called a Dart Monkey, is a monkey throwing darts at the balloons, similar to the original Bloons game series. In the Bloons TD series, it only takes one hit to pop a bloon, but as levels progress you'll be met with bloons inside other bloons. All enemies in the BTD games are balloons called bloons. The game is a classic type of tower defense game in which the enemies follow a predetermined path on each level.
