You'd probably get a little further if you set your bomb towers to attack strongest first rather than first balloon. That way the moab missiles hit the moab balloons instead of the faster weaker balloons
yup. and this was long before that ultimate upgrade that spike traps apparently get now. was really hoping i could see what it looked like as i havent played the game for many years.
I regularly do a spactory only 1-50 (or something) in the conquest stuff. Minimum tiers done with like 5-6 lol Admittedly, the conquest stuff gets extra boosts from the relics... but without the tier restriction, you can just put extra spactories. Or whatever else.
@@grygoriiovsianikov6671 i wouldnt say nothing. Although I do recognise that the inferno ring is stronger, it is still more expensive than the tack zone
@@grygoriiovsianikov6671 yeah it does more than what people expect to ddts. But the biggest drawback is that its hard to save up money for it due to its expensive price. I believe that this is what makes it balanced
Obviously, the only one that can even claim to be truly monkey free is the spike factory. Since it could be fully automated, heck. The banana farms aren't even really all that believable since (from experience) banana trees are quite needy when bunched up to the point of being a farm, mine weren't even old enough to produce bananas yet and they were already having difficulty with pests and I had to constantly water them. None of them maps (from what I remember) even had rain either so 🤷🏻♂️
Nice strategy idea. I was able to get to round 154 using the same hero and limitations. Bomb Shooter - 052, 024, 042, 502 Tack Shooter - 025, 510 Spike Factory - 520, 250, 205 (at the top) Monkey Village - 520 Tons of Spike Factory 420
My thoughts exactly, this feels like a video that should be on a second channel or something. Very underwhelming compared to some of his other stuff. But I read his comment saying he's getting married so I think he's just busy and needed something quick to post
Tell me about it. I was quite proud when I lined the sides of the race track map with them. It’s very fitting, and cool to watch the stronger balloons quite literally blaze across the track.
@@kaiserwilhelm8271 i remember him fighting a mediocre bot in age of empires 3 for instant gendarms... has been known for years and he didnt even do a good job doing that.
I was certain that was the plan when he put a tack shooter right in the middle of a round map. It's so strong. Granted not as much when it's missing the alchemist, but village will still help a lot
The amount of shouting into the void I did while you went over the middle left spike factory several times before finally giving it white hot spikes, never change Spiff 😂
I think one of the good tips that you didn't use is to change your cannons to target, not the first balloon, but the strongest. That way if there's a bunch of tiny balloons that your spikes are going to handle or floating around your bombs, don't waste time shooting at it and instead focus on popping moabs and heavy hitters
Suggestion: try placing more villages! Villages improve range of towers. And also one of the second upgrades gives every tower nearby camo abilities! Very useful. Also try going for the bottom banana farm path instead of the upper one. Monkey Wall Street can collect nearby bananas, gives money and lives!
Small suggestion: the Bomb Tower has a path that allows it to stun balloons. At max on that path it can stun all balloons except the BAD, and it is pretty cheap too like 60k-ish on medium for the final upgrade. So paring that with a monkey village with 2 in middle path (the camo detection one) allows you to stun lock almost every wave up to one of the fast camo MOAB waves. But this works best on a map with one chokepoint so not the map you were on unfortunately.
I'm surprised he never used the monkey village... that thing could've buffed the middle and done some wacky things with removing camo, upping attack speed, etc. Pretty sure there are a couple late game upgrades that would be a little broken if they weren't so expensive.
@@WlatPziupp Well technically all the towers have monkeys in them, so it's kind of a null point. He was just going off visuals, which the village does not have any visible monkeys. :)
Same, it's interesting seeing a video with spiff doing things where I immediately think "He could/should have done X for a better result." Normally he knows way more about the games than I would, lol.
That was a fun challenge! Managed to get up to round 151 myself but messed and used all 43 spike storm abilities on round 150 for fun. Turns out I needed a few for the DDTs on 151, otherwise I probably could have squeezed out a few more rounds.
Spiff, Pro-Tip from someone who has too many hours in this game. Upgrading towers is almost always better then buying another. Just clicking top path spike factory will basically carry you to round 80 on this map. You might want 1 middle-path spike to burn MOABs with Spike Storm. And on any map with one lane, if you get a Super Mines (Top Path T5 Spike) you win, Super Mines is the single most powerful tower in the game, minus the T5 Super Monkeys, and even then, Super Mines holds up to these. Also buffs are super powerful, basically, whenever you can buff a tower that's at tier 3-5, its almost always more cost efficient to do that, then to buy another tower. Personally, if I did this challenge, making it to round 120 wouldn't be an issue, I'll probably get bored before 140, but even round 200 is probably doable with these towers, given that we have Farming, as well as Bloon Crush, Bloon Crush will basically solo everything that isn't a BAD, and you can spam Spike Storms for Fortified BADs. Farming means infinite money to juggle Homeland (Basically, you buy 1 050 Village, and 2 040 Villages, and when the homeland buff expires, you sell it and immediately buy it back on another of the 040 villages and you get homeland back immediately, so you can keep 100% Uptime)
ive been watching ISAB having fun with the "quantum entanglement bug". it really is something else, he found out that it can also make abilities repeat constantly, meaning infinite first strikes and supply drops.
@@thespiffingbrit Hey Spiff, please get Ring of Fire when using tack shooters; although purple balloons are fire proof, it is the most broken thing against every other balloon.
Okay first congratulations on getting married and have a wonderful time, second this video was crazy cute just seeing someone going through the beginner phase is so cool to see cause like the engagement where you experiment with cross paths just to see it reminds me of starting out I'm so happy that the balloons franchise still has that appeal keep it up I love your content a toast of tea to you in the spiff approved tea receptacle.
About the whole tower linking thing, i remember an old bug in BTD5. By upgrading a normal dart monkey to a catapult while super monkey fan club was active would make the catapult shoot at smfc rates
230 Monkey village and 205 Tack shooter would have done the job wonderfully I think! We need more strats without any monkeys, so we can commit war crimes without monkeys xD
I'm pretty sure the devs have said that every tower is powered by a monkey, so there are monkies inside the tack shooter, spike factory, etc., therefore the run is canonically invalid
A tip Spiff. While Plantations are great Marketplaces are better cause they just add money automatically without a need to collect. Also in the current state of the game. 1 0/0/5 Monkey Village is too good. Put a 0/0/0 farm near it and bam. Great amount of money a round. Also Sometimes focusing on getting a single tower to max is better. Like the 5/0/0 spike factory is worth that cost. Its a monster. Glad you played this its fun seeing you play a more chill kind of challenge.
@@Vincent_Beers Cool thanks. Yes I am lazy. Hence why I included the fact you don't need to collect. He obviously doesn't know the starts of perfecting banana farm gains. I was just giving basic tips. Jeez.
The tack shooter actually canonically has a monkey piloting it and there's even a custom profile and idle animation (in btdb2) to show that little Easter egg
Played a lot of bloons TD 5 in high school. I picked up 6 two weeks ago and I have been hooked. It feels good to play this series again after nearly a decade. EDIT: I really like how much player expression this game has. The fact your strategy is viable is hilarious and shows how diverse and unique your play style can be. I love the Elite Defender Sniper monkey. Easily my favorite tier 5 just for how effective and silly it is in concept.
Wow this is the first time I have ever seen Spiff actually lose in a game that I can remember just goes to show that this game is pretty balanced ironically
Bloons TD6 has a big risk vs reward system in the banana farms and other units that produce money. If you sink your money into it too early you won't have enough defense to make it past the waves. If you don't put money into it early enough you won't have enough cash late game to survive. It takes experience to find a good balance.
I've unintentionally done this on several maps. When you go through a hundred odd builds playing this game, sometimes you just do a map without monkeys.
Perms spike is really lackluster on maps like the one in this vid just due to how the exits are entrances too, not letting the permaspike build up really high.
I managed to get to round 140, same map. If I farmed harder I could of got super mines but I was happy with this result, can't wait for any of these non monkey towers to get their own paragons!
I remember the first time we got computers/tablets in school. They had the free btd3? on them, but a couple of us managed to finagle them so it behaved as the full version
I really love the mechanical towers so this is pretty close to how I normally play xD They are really strong too so this challenge isn't too hard on many maps below advanced.
I think you undervalued the village, as that those buffs can be pretty great, I'll try this out myself and see how it goes. Edit: alright after a bit of trail and error I got to round 99 mainly using the middle path tack shooter, top path village, a couple cannons, then abusing middle path spike factory ability, the tack shooter and spike factory abilities had an almost 100% uptime but I couldn't manage the armoured DDTs, could probably optimise it further tho. Edit 2: tried again with a 502 tack shooter, 520 spike factory, and 520 village and that got me past 139
I would use bottom path tack instead, maybe top path even, but i dont think middle path tack would be the best option. I would also sacrifice one of the areas on the side/middle where spiff put his spike factories and place a village for lead popping on the tack in the middle or the primary buffs from top path.
top path tack shooter is Infinitely better than middle path , pair a 5-2-0 tack with a 5-2-0 village and it essentially solos this map in chimps mode :)
@@dilemma624 i woukd use a 502 tack instead of a 520 bacause the 520 Village already gives a lot of pierce. So instead of the +1 meteor pierce i get 300+ damage and faster attack speed.
As an American, I am so glad you informed me that that was sarcasm because us Americans don't use it often and have a hard time picking it up when used. Great video again.
Ignore the spike factories. Place the tack shooter in mid. Place a village with the camo radar. And go the fire path with tack shooter. Later on Place bomb towers for moabs
Got to 103, could’ve went further but they were too fast for me. If you focus on bottom path marketplaces and eventually get a monkey Wall Street, it gives you an extra 4k at the end of every round. Allowed me to save up for a top and middle path tack and a middle path spike tower. All tier 5s. I also used a top path spike tower to get me through the middle game. Only got to tier 4 for that. Ended up losing cause I was saving too hard for the tier 5 super mines.
This is one of my favorite Tower defense games. The fact you found a way to play it without deploying any monkeys, is astounding, to someone who's never heard of you or your Channel before. Before everyone else, this is a standard broken route of finding not "exploits" in a game. Way To Go spiffing Brit.😂🎉
Seems spiff just found out the wonderous fact me and a friend discovered back in BTD4, Spikes are OP We were having fun seeing just how powerful each tower was, via specific towers only runs, and came to the conclusion that super monkey and spike factories are the two strongest towers in BTD4. I've played each iteration of the games from then on to see how true such words stand still, and well, witness here folks, That's all you need
Spike Factories aren't very good as waves get more clustered since they take so long to build up a stack of spikes. After setup, their burst PPS against a group of bloons is unrivalled, but their sustained PPS is among the worst of any similarly priced tower. The only one that's equal to other towers at its price level is 2/5/0.
If u wanna buff your tack shooter without monkey towers, use the monkey village and upgrade the top option. it buffs primary monkeys (which tack shooters are) and ups their fire rate, range, and bullet size (this one im not 100% about). Glad you’re enjoying the game!
I got to round 175. Absolutely filled the screen with spike storms and that was my main strat. Used 5-0-2 tack in center as it was buffed by 2-5-0 village. Got one of every tier 5 tower after building the eco so much that i ended with 2 million.
Recently i've been playing a roguelike game called Noita and i'm completely hooked, i reckon it'd make for a great video or stream. love the content spiff
If you want a hard game to try at some point with some nice blocks of cheese to be found you should try from the depths. The best way I heard somone describe it was as "boat Dark Souls".
Tack shooter absolutely does. Im not sure how there would be one for farms or bomb shooters, and I don’t believe village or spike factory has anyone inside
@@mothrahlurker788 Did they nerf the range in btd6 because in btd5 if you put it in the center it reaches a little past the top,bottom, and side edges of the map and only misses some of the four corners? Haven't moved on to 6 because 5 is still getting updated and don't want to grind to reunlock everything.
You need a map where you can place down some of those towers in better locations. You really want those spike traps blanketing as much path as possible... the maps with really curvy paths are pretty good for this. Putting a spike tower on the side of a straight path really limits the area that it can cover...
@ashtonhoward5582 ⭐️ idk, if they deployed the same amount of spikes on a smaller area than, yeah. But I guess I'm assuming that a bigger area = more spikes deployed...
Someone has been beating all the levels just using spike factories, or so the wiki claims. Also, ring of fire beats overdrive for crowds, less useful for MOABs but that's what MOAB maulers are for. Only other issue is camo ceramics but you can always go super maelstorm instead.
Small suggestion for this one: This map makes the inferno ring (top path of the tack shooter) insanely OP. Placed in the middle, the bloons run around it for a long time and it just burns them all up.
9:44 The biggest suspense of the video was wondering if spiff would get the bank, and it was followed by the biggest dissapointment of him buying the plantation. I myself fell into this trap as a beginner, so it is easy to forgive spiff here as he does not have all upgrades
Neglecting The Tack Zone hurt because it’s one of my favorite towers. With it in the middle and a monkey village to give it camo detection it can basically solo the challenge. Plus if you upgrade the village to jungle drums and primary training it’s dps is insane and its range is pretty much the size of the map. For people who want to try this challenge for themselves I would recommend going into the social tab on the Home Screen and creating a challenge of the map on hard mode. That will allow you to restart from the last round if you die instead of needing to start over again.

It's pretty good, but nothing when compared to Inferno Ring.
@@grygoriiovsianikov6671 i wouldnt say nothing. Although I do recognise that the inferno ring is stronger, it is still more expensive than the tack zone
@@tomaseduardo6633 True, it is more expensive. But the fact that its ball of fire can automatically detect camo is too good.
@@grygoriiovsianikov6671 yeah it does more than what people expect to ddts. But the biggest drawback is that its hard to save up money for it due to its expensive price. I believe that this is what makes it balanced
also cant forget that RoF (inferno ring's previous upgrade) can utterly decimate ceramics for cheap if you go 402, so it can carry you quite well.
Fun fact, canonically, each tower that isn’t a monkey, has a very tiny monkey in it

Also Sometimes focusing on getting a single tower to max is better. Like the 5/0/0 spike factory is worth that cost. Its a monster.
Glad you played this its fun seeing you play a more chill kind of challenge.
Marketplace isn't better, you're just lazy.
@@Vincent_Beers Cool thanks. Yes I am lazy. Hence why I included the fact you don't need to collect. He obviously doesn't know the starts of perfecting banana farm gains. I was just giving basic tips. Jeez.
The tack shooter actually canonically has a monkey piloting it and there's even a custom profile and idle animation (in btdb2) to show that little Easter egg
No way, Spiffing Brit Bloons video? Incredible, exciting, splendid, bloody brilliant even! Thank you
today on famous exploit man plays a game normally without exploits
6:17
there's no chance for lead or ceramic bloon as all rounds have predetermined bloon type, count and spacing
Is BTD6 worth playing? I'm currently just playing Touhou and War Thunder and stuff, lol
@@LavaCreeperPeople btd 6 is a fantastic game, lots of fun
My day always gets better and WAY more chaotic as soon as I see a new Spiffing Brit video. Keep up the hilariously game-breaking work!
waiting for BTD6 without balloons
Played a lot of bloons TD 5 in high school. I picked up 6 two weeks ago and I have been hooked. It feels good to play this series again after nearly a decade.
EDIT: I really like how much player expression this game has. The fact your strategy is viable is hilarious and shows how diverse and unique your play style can be. I love the Elite Defender Sniper monkey. Easily my favorite tier 5 just for how effective and silly it is in concept.
Spiff playing BTD6. Never expected this to happen, but I approve of this video.
E
Great videos mate keep up the good work 👍
He does sometimes, it's not new
@@e33manguy Went and checked he has one other bloons td 6 vidoe
Wow this is the first time I have ever seen Spiff actually lose in a game that I can remember just goes to show that this game is pretty balanced ironically
Yes but he did do some mistakes like not using marketplaces perma spikes and more
Bloons TD6 has a big risk vs reward system in the banana farms and other units that produce money. If you sink your money into it too early you won't have enough defense to make it past the waves. If you don't put money into it early enough you won't have enough cash late game to survive. It takes experience to find a good balance.
@@gurd739Or ring of fire, which would have helped immensely. Though this is one map where permaspikes are actually bad.
Age of Mythology when he went against 4 Titan AIs, the exploit to have unlimited resources did nothing to save him
Yeah, I’m by no means a pro at the game, but it was fun seeing Spiff be … not that great at a game for once.
I've unintentionally done this on several maps. When you go through a hundred odd builds playing this game, sometimes you just do a map without monkeys.
The lack of PermaSpikes hurts my soul. Absolutely great upgrade.
And Tack Zone is easily my favorite Tack Shooter upgrade
Perms spike is really lackluster on maps like the one in this vid just due to how the exits are entrances too, not letting the permaspike build up really high.
I was really disappointed in map choice when I saw the challenge. I will always love you Permaspikes
I managed to get to round 140, same map. If I farmed harder I could of got super mines but I was happy with this result, can't wait for any of these non monkey towers to get their own paragons!
I love how he is so unconfident in his defense even tho the overdrive alone could handle any non-lead or non-camo bloon
Im glad you mentioned the quantum entanglement bug, it's already been patched for a while, sadly. But it was a good bug
I remember the first time we got computers/tablets in school. They had the free btd3? on them, but a couple of us managed to finagle them so it behaved as the full version
I really love the mechanical towers so this is pretty close to how I normally play xD
They are really strong too so this challenge isn't too hard on many maps below advanced.
Sounds like Sipho could be your cup of tea
If you get the Budling, there may be a way to break it
Playing on the map where its actually an accomplishment if you can lose while placeing towers
I think you undervalued the village, as that those buffs can be pretty great, I'll try this out myself and see how it goes.
Edit: alright after a bit of trail and error I got to round 99 mainly using the middle path tack shooter, top path village, a couple cannons, then abusing middle path spike factory ability, the tack shooter and spike factory abilities had an almost 100% uptime but I couldn't manage the armoured DDTs, could probably optimise it further tho.
Edit 2: tried again with a 502 tack shooter, 520 spike factory, and 520 village and that got me past 139
Yeah pontoon in that middle pond with a village would have been a big play.
I would use bottom path tack instead, maybe top path even, but i dont think middle path tack would be the best option. I would also sacrifice one of the areas on the side/middle where spiff put his spike factories and place a village for lead popping on the tack in the middle or the primary buffs from top path.
@do811 I used the middle one because its excellent for cleaning up the small bloons
top path tack shooter is Infinitely better than middle path , pair a 5-2-0 tack with a 5-2-0 village and it essentially solos this map in chimps mode :)
@@dilemma624 i woukd use a 502 tack instead of a 520 bacause the 520 Village already gives a lot of pierce. So instead of the +1 meteor pierce i get 300+ damage and faster attack speed.
This is painful for people who are good at btd6
As an American, I greatly appreciate the sarcasm disclaimer as I can never spot it without a helping hand from a friendly Brit.
Id love to see you find and exploit bugs in Space Engineers. Its a perfectly balanced game with zero exploits.
As an American, I am so glad you informed me that that was sarcasm because us Americans don't use it often and have a hard time picking it up when used.
Great video again.
That's actually pretty clever
i love the game diversity and excitement on this channel! its inspiring. keep up the great commentaries
it's funny to see you struggling to round 90 meanwhile just a perma spike could last way longer alone X)
Ignore the spike factories. Place the tack shooter in mid. Place a village with the camo radar. And go the fire path with tack shooter. Later on Place bomb towers for moabs
Just watching Spiff play a silly game he seems to like is a joy.
This challenge has already been done! Even still, great video and great job!
Got to 103, could’ve went further but they were too fast for me. If you focus on bottom path marketplaces and eventually get a monkey Wall Street, it gives you an extra 4k at the end of every round. Allowed me to save up for a top and middle path tack and a middle path spike tower. All tier 5s. I also used a top path spike tower to get me through the middle game. Only got to tier 4 for that. Ended up losing cause I was saving too hard for the tier 5 super mines.
Beaten by the DDT's, yup I feel that. I have 1168 hours in this game so far and you making a video on it does not help stopping my addiction. Thanks!
This is one of my favorite Tower defense games. The fact you found a way to play it without deploying any monkeys, is astounding, to someone who's never heard of you or your Channel before. Before everyone else, this is a standard broken route of finding not "exploits" in a game. Way To Go spiffing Brit.😂🎉
Is this the equivalent of drone warfare in Bloons?
Seems spiff just found out the wonderous fact me and a friend discovered back in BTD4,
Spikes are OP
We were having fun seeing just how powerful each tower was, via specific towers only runs, and came to the conclusion that super monkey and spike factories are the two strongest towers in BTD4. I've played each iteration of the games from then on to see how true such words stand still, and well, witness here folks, That's all you need
Spike Factories aren't very good as waves get more clustered since they take so long to build up a stack of spikes. After setup, their burst PPS against a group of bloons is unrivalled, but their sustained PPS is among the worst of any similarly priced tower. The only one that's equal to other towers at its price level is 2/5/0.
If u wanna buff your tack shooter without monkey towers, use the monkey village and upgrade the top option. it buffs primary monkeys (which tack shooters are) and ups their fire rate, range, and bullet size (this one im not 100% about). Glad you’re enjoying the game!
I got to round 175. Absolutely filled the screen with spike storms and that was my main strat. Used 5-0-2 tack in center as it was buffed by 2-5-0 village. Got one of every tier 5 tower after building the eco so much that i ended with 2 million.
Another Spiff video, another cup of tea.
He specified monkeys not towers so that's an easy yes
Spiff isn't monkeying around this challenge run.
No, I will not apologize for that Spiff tier pun.
Recently i've been playing a roguelike game called Noita and i'm completely hooked, i reckon it'd make for a great video or stream.
love the content spiff
Addictive is indeed correct.
I've been playing for 57 days straight. And that's not stopping anytime soon.
If you want a hard game to try at some point with some nice blocks of cheese to be found you should try from the depths. The best way I heard somone describe it was as "boat Dark Souls".
Perfectly balanced
as al things should be- a purple guy
indeed
I got round 167 two short of perfect 23:12
Literally just Spiff playing BTD6. I'm here for it.
I LITERALLY JUST HAD THIS IDEA, THIS VIDEO WAS GREAT OMG
Me and my son just used this method and got to round 103. He was very pleased with that! And surprised it worked so well!
Have you ever played satisfactory?
spiff it's better to start with placing all the banana farms first, they are more cost efficient than their upgrades
1-0-0 is actually more efficient and not even going to talk about pre round 30 miniopolis
I’m probably wrong, but don’t all towers have monkeys inside of them? I think I’m wrong but, I’m not sure.
Tack shooter absolutely does. Im not sure how there would be one for farms or bomb shooters, and I don’t believe village or spike factory has anyone inside
The monkey village has an upgrade that gives all towers within it's range camo vision. The monkey village's range is most of the map on most stages.
It's not nearly "most of the map".
@@mothrahlurker788 Did they nerf the range in btd6 because in btd5 if you put it in the center it reaches a little past the top,bottom, and side edges of the map and only misses some of the four corners? Haven't moved on to 6 because 5 is still getting updated and don't want to grind to reunlock everything.
Thanks for explaining sarcasm in the intro! Us Americans know absolutely nothing about such a complex area of human speech!
You need a map where you can place down some of those towers in better locations. You really want those spike traps blanketing as much path as possible... the maps with really curvy paths are pretty good for this. Putting a spike tower on the side of a straight path really limits the area that it can cover...
Actually, there's a good case for having the spike factories covering as little of the track as possible. This makes the spike placement consistent.
@ashtonhoward5582 ⭐️ idk, if they deployed the same amount of spikes on a smaller area than, yeah. But I guess I'm assuming that a bigger area = more spikes deployed...
@@franzjones179 they have a set per second rate
Yaaaaaaaaa❤❤❤
Someone has been beating all the levels just using spike factories, or so the wiki claims.
Also, ring of fire beats overdrive for crowds, less useful for MOABs but that's what MOAB maulers are for.
Only other issue is camo ceramics but you can always go super maelstorm instead.
Small suggestion for this one: This map makes the inferno ring (top path of the tack shooter) insanely OP. Placed in the middle, the bloons run around it for a long time and it just burns them all up.
9:44 The biggest suspense of the video was wondering if spiff would get the bank, and it was followed by the biggest dissapointment of him buying the plantation. I myself fell into this trap as a beginner, so it is easy to forgive spiff here as he does not have all upgrades
You're voice is so crisp and clean watching your videos on 1.25 playback speed flows so well. Faster I watch the more I can watch ❤
Thank you so much, I am so happy that a balloons video got over 1 million views.
Hilariously enough, these were always my goto towers back in the day. Tack shooters, spike factories, cannons, banana farms. All you ever need
Neglecting The Tack Zone hurt because it’s one of my favorite towers. With it in the middle and a monkey village to give it camo detection it can basically solo the challenge. Plus if you upgrade the village to jungle drums and primary training it’s dps is insane and its range is pretty much the size of the map.
For people who want to try this challenge for themselves I would recommend going into the social tab on the Home Screen and creating a challenge of the map on hard mode. That will allow you to restart from the last round if you die instead of needing to start over again.
love seeing a turn base game strategist play btd6
