The amount of balancing changes that BTD6 gets every year is remarkable. Most esports don't receive that much care. You asked what tower combinations are "the best" and the reality is that there almost aren't any. Ninja Kiwi has worked incredibly hard to rebalance weak towers to have unique uses, while also slightly nerfing overused towers periodically. Truly, it's part of what makes BTD6 such an amazing game.
@@cashb5357 Banana farm is changed quite frequently. Either directly(such as changing how upgrades work), or indirectly, like when they changed Monkeyopolis..
yeah in my opinion the balance changes bring even more stuff to play around with whenever an update comes out, some reworks feel like new content by themselves
apart from all the things you mentioned, BTD6 dont only get upto 5 tiers, there are special ultimate tier 6 called paragons which changes the game entirely :)
Its fairly unanimous that bloons td battles is better than 2, especially when 2 came out due to it being extremely unbalanced and pay to win. They have fixed many issues, but, for most people btd battles 1 is a classic that can never be compared to.
Interesting. I would've had no idea. When I played, it seemed like there were improvements made to the sequel that made me enjoy playing it more. I hope I'm not the only person to think so.
@@Jake.Miller I will agree with this, the main problem now is a low player base as most players left as it was so poorly designed at the start, and many didn't return
53:52 The online features still work but there’s like no active players below like level 15. After you progress though, you’ll spot a couple people still playing this game in 2024 that you can attack
I think I've figured out the reason for mobile franchises going downhill while flash franchises get better. Mobile game devs start out trying to create a huge cash cow, and once they find it they just milk the whales in a real half-assed way. Meanwhile, those who started on Flash in the 2000s didn't have ingame monetization like we do now. The main way to make money was ad revenue, so devs were incentivized to keep putting out better and better games to grow their audience rather than focus on whales. Same with games that charged a fixed price rather than microtransactions. Ninja Kiwi's in a weird spot in the middle where they do sometimes dip into the bad microtransaction habits of the mobile gaming market, but they also understand the importance of growing a loyal playerbase by evolving their franchises.
I remember around the early 2010's me and my grandma used to play the original bloons games on her computer. I never played past the 4th Tower Defense game, but it's crazy how the monkey throwing darts game I played with my grandma got so popular.
@@Jake.MillerNah, my grandma was not interested in games. and barely had a functioning computer when I was a kid. It was windows xp and the only thing you could play on it was the default card game that was installed with windows xp.
I'm glad you liked Bloons Adventure Time TD so much, I actually really enjoy the game, and it would be my favorite bloons game if it weren't for some of the flaws
You did amazing videos about Papa's and Angry Birds, which are both the top franchises of my childhood, and now Bloons. Thank you, man. Those are both nostalgic and interesting at the same time.
the absolute worst part about btd battles 2 is that for a long time lower ranks meant you were locked from using high upgrade paths, like you were locked to 3 tiers for most of the low ranks, that made griding for higher ranks a god damn nightmare
We gotta respect Ninja Kiwi's care for their franchise, whether it be preserving old games for the future, fixing p2w, or not getting too comfortable when they hit big. Out of all gaming companies in recent memory, Ninja Kiwi is an unmatched GOAT, and Sauda really is the best hero for...reasons.
Quick thing about monkey city, it doesn't have a standard energy system that limits how much you can play at a time the "energy" is another resource you get from building power generating buildings that give you more energy to power more structures. In theory you could play forever without needing any in app purchases
This video was everything I wanted and very informational actually with the history you discovered as you played. Loved it! I think a great idea for the next series of games would be Epic War. Or even Age of War if you're so inclined. Love the video man keep it up!
I think your rating of bloons monkey city was completely fair and I agree the waiting and daily grind is just strictly a downgrade to the players experience. I think what I loved about that game and what separated it from btd5 was the sheer spike in difficulty the game provided compared to just playing harder maps in btd5. While yes, you can just keep grinding upgrades and eventually trivialize the difficulty, this game really forces you to come up with some crazy strats to deal with round 2 camo-regen lead rushes/ round 5 moabs etc (depends on the tile but ive seen these before 😭) especially on maps where the optimal towers are banned. Sadly the one downside to this is you find out very quickly that some towers become obsolete by a certain point and with how easy it is to setup infinite popping power in btd5 mechanics (glaive lord with arctic wind etc) you're basically doing the same thing every tile as most other options are just either way less efficient or just straight up won't work at all. Also the multiplayer aspects to this game in my opinion completely flopped except maybe contested territory but contested territory becomes completely pointless when you've maxed everything out anyways.
The flash version Bloons Super Monkey 2 and the mobile version are 2 completely different games and because of this I have always called the mobile version Bloons Super Monkey 3 and Bloons Super Monkey 3 should be ranked separately from the other 2 bloons super monkey games Bloons TD 4 mobile is just a straight upgrade from the flash version in almost every way possible and is 10x better than the flash version but is super underrated The Mobile/steam version of Monkey City is an upgraded version of the flash version and is based on a really old version of Steam TD 5 but the for some reason they removed the harder western city Bloons TD battles Flash is a dead game that has been replaced with the Steam version, before the flash died it was ether a high C or low B tier game that was pretty fun as it was more based on flash TD 5 but the Steam version is just a straight up improvement that is based on the Steam version of TD 5 Please consider Ranking every Jake Miller song, this video’s title would definitely confuse some people as you are not a musician and don’t have any music videos
I did rank the mobile Super Monkey 2. And thanks for the info on everything else. I don't have the rights to Jake Miller's music I cannot possibly put any of it in a video
@@Jake.Miller if you end up doing a part 2 please take this into consideration, also BTD 5 deluxe should be ranked but since TD 5 Deluxe was deleted you will have to watch videos of people playing the game in order to rank it, also the Steam version of TD 5 should be ranked separately from the flash version Something I just learned is that there is an Apple Arcade version of BTD Battles 2 but it is really stupid as the Apple Arcade version technically costs money as you have to pay for an Apple Arcade subscription to play it, the main reason this is stupid is that the original version IS ALREADY A FREE GAME nobody will ever get actually play Battles 2+ since the original version is already Free, Battles 2+ doesn’t deserve to be ranked separately from regular Battles 2 but it does deserve an honorable mention and should be talked about at the same time as regular Battles 2 but would be interesting to see how you would compare it to regular Battles 2 There is a DS version of Mobile TD 4, it deserves an honorable mention while taking about Mobile TD4 but it doesn’t need to be ranked separately also instead of saying Mobile BTD 4 you can just call it BTD 4 HD as Bloons Tower Defense 4 HD is a much better name than “The Mobile version of Bloons Tower Defense 4” Ranking these games will make for an interesting part 2 and should be ranked on there own Tier List, then at the end of the video you will combine the 2 lists (like with your angry birds ranking videos)
there was an update to BMC stream recently, from the patch notes they have changed the impoppable difficulty icon to have flames on the dark red dots, on steam it now shows the tiles preview on hover instead of clicking, and the other main thing that I saw is they speed up the menu transition though on the note of using an old version of the BTD5 engine I don't know if they updated the engine in the update
@@melaniecaudill3252 i mean they did fix it. and that is just one stain on the legacy, it doesn't change the fact that they put their heart and soul into TD6 and it shows that it can stand among the greats
Not sure if you know, but ninja kiwi are planning on making new bloons games on btd6. Theyve said there’ll be a bloons rogue-lite coming next year (no art or anything yet)
The thing about the energy system in BMC is that it's a resource, not a cap on how much you can play. It limits how many buildings you can place, essentially. It's honestly not a big deal. I'm city level 31 and still don't have enough tiles to cap my energy
Plants vs zombies and BTD hold the same headspace in my brain. Both are extremely charming tower defense games with loads of great characters and many memorable 'towers' who weren't afraid to shake things up with tackling new ideas and even taking a shot at different genre's. It's a little sad to see PvZ dying at this slow and painful rate while the fans are the only reason the series thrives, but it brings me comfort to see that BTD gets love from both the dev aswell as the fans. Great ranking as always bro :]
Bloons (at least the tower defense games) is a funny series because all of the mainline games literally are just better than the previous one, like there was no point where the series went bad for a little bit and (not having watched this video yet, not sure about this guy’s opinions) I’ve never seen anyone who’s had the take of “[x older game in the series] is where Bloons TD peaked and the newer games are too complicated/missing the charm that the older one had”
@@Jake.Miller that’s sort of what I meant, of course there are always people who have a love for the older games (even myself, I started with btd5 and it will always be my personal favorite game to go back to in the series) but mostly everyone can acknowledge that, for example, btd5 is better than btd4 and that btd6 is better than btd5, objectively they keep improving
Definitely an interesting watch. I play BTD6 almost every day and I had some smaller history with 4 & 5 when I was younger too while dabbling in some others, but nowhere close to playing them all.
@@Jake.Miller It was a great vid, particularly on the obscure stuff! I think the only thing that came off as glaring to me was maybe some of the Heroes, but that's kinda their functions not being super clear than anything else.
I do like how Bloons Adventure Time puts a spin on the btd gameplay by adding rpg elements, it's a lot of fun to make builds for your towers and use trinkets to give them completely new properties and abilities. Unfortunately, it kinda hurts the gameplay variety - you always go for the same strat, and you always lump towers together for buffs, disregarding the map layout. Not to mention how grindy the game is. Still, it's a very unique entry in the series and it's worth playing
In bloons td 5 battles, if you played tournament modes it almost always devolved into who had better sun temple placement, if you didnt have good sun temple placement you got overwhelmed by ZOMGs... after like 30 minutes of nothing happening ALSO: I ASKED DEVS ON THE DISCORD A YEAR OR TWO AGO AND THEY SAID CARD BATTLES FROM BTD5 BATTLES WASNT COMING BACK, AND NOW THERE MAKING IT A SEPERATE GAME
BTD Battles has a card game mode that I REALLY like... sad that you didn't seem to play it or mention it in the video. Also BTD Battles on the flash or on Ninja Kiwi ran so well compared to now. Holding a button would send out bloons nonstop and the game was full of skilled players so it wasn't too easy like it is now. There was also a chat back then as well.
As a long-time Bloons fan, I kept waiting for you to miss an obscure game, but no you really ranked every one I can think of! 33:36 I've played that on Wii and it was so bad 😂 Despite being on the wii, you have to aim by just moving a cursor with the Dpad and all the menus use B to select things instead of A
I am such an og, that I remember playing the puzzle bloons games, but really not liking the Blood TD ones, because they were all like impossible (Bloons TD 3 was the newest one) BTD4 made me change my mind tho, it was revolutionary Btw, 15:26: I was one of those kids 22:10 The only bloons game I could beat as a kid, it felt like that I have become a bloons pro 25:14 Fun Fact: The Super Monkey upgrade for the range in BTD4 has an earth picture on it, and when you upgrade your super moneky to it, the monkey's range becomes exactly as big as the earth on that map. A cool little detail 32:30 There was even a BTD4 Level Editor (it was calles Bloons TD 4 TE, or something like that) but I couldn't figure out how to even open it, but it existed. I can't find footage of it anywhere, but I remember it existes and having no idea what TE could stand for. I even confused it a couple times with the extension pack which I could play. Edit for this: I found a page talking about that one. It was appearently called "Bloons TD4 Track Editor", but it is long gone 36:40 Actually, the Bloons 2 mobile game has more levels and a couple ones missing There was also a game calles "Bloons TD 5 Deluxe", it doesn't exist anymore, but it was basicly BTD5 on steroids
1:05:39 very quick collection of beginner tips. Sada is by far the best hero for beginners droid and gunner are really good. There’s something called paragon that are really difficult to unlock but really powerful and very complicated.
@@Jake.Miller thank you also if you’re ever watching Bloons Tower, Defense six UA-camrs, you may hear them say something like 0-3-2 glue gunner. This is code for what upgrades you get on a tower. For example, a 0-2-3 dart monkey would be a tower with its bottom half upgraded to crossbow and middle path two very quick shots.
@@Jake.Miller this the actual 1st implication of a cards game in bloons Basically in btd battles they made cards which have 2 sides: 1 with a tower that has a specific tiers and the other side being bloons so you can use each card as a tower or a bloon depending on what you choose You can't upgrade towers so you can't just take cheap cards I forgot how many cards you could have in a deck but it was around 20 That gamemode was the most fun i ever had in bloons series but ppl generally disliked it
Picking someone who doesn't even know how half of the bigger games work to talk about the game doesnt work "This game is cool I saw this thing and it was neat, I have no idea what this or this or this or that is and I don't exactly know how it impacts the game, and this mechanic which fits the game perfectly and makes it work is weird because I didn't get to learn the game enough to understand it"
It’s called perspective, I made it clear from the get-go I’m a newcomer to the series. If you want a video made by a true fan of the series then OrangE’s video is for you. I’m going into each game blind and learning everything as I go to the best of my ability. I enjoy watching videos of people breaking down their thoughts on a series/game I love, it’s fun to see different interpretations
I adored Bloons Supermonkey 2 Mobile, especially Stormmonkey, but that may just be my rose tinted glasses But yeahh..I can see the issues with the game Great video,I didn't even know about some of these games and I'm a BTD Fanatic
as much hate as battles 2 gets it's one of my favorite games, three towers is so perfect cause no matter what combo you choose (minus super sniper village this update) it has a weakness for you to find and its just really fun to find what rush kills your opponent, it's not perfect and there still needs to be a bit more polish and changes to leagues but its miles ahead of where people say it is
Holy crap 😮 45 games for real man that was a lot of suffering and also what happened to the live stream did you got jumpscare by Freddy Fazbear or something's?
>Bloons TD6 logo in thumbnail >Bloons TD6 font in thumbnail >Several TD6-style monkeys in thumbnail accompanied by other Monkey City-styled monkeys, but only 1 TD5-styled monkey >Every bloon in thumbnail is from the TD6 style btd5GVDS, is it over?
48:16 actually people hate btdb2 including myself since well they nerfed literally everything that was okay that I invested into plus it's also not as polished so I quit quickly
I don't know if MOST people hate the game, but I do know people hate it and I did discuss that in the BTD Battles 2 section. As an outsider, I enjoyed playing the sequel more
I had the exact opposite experience for BSM2. I enjoyed the fails originally while getting stronger but trying to go for 100% is the least fun I’ve ever tried. I couldn’t even do it. You get to a point where you’ve gotten 100% red blops and platinum in every level and you won’t even be NEARLY close to owning every upgrade and research. I really hope NKW makes a third game with many more levels because the concept is fun but the first two games are far too short. Original BSM gets a B tier and BSM2 gets a D tier from me
Likely known but it's called Pop 3 in parody of the Match 3 games (Candycrush bejewled gemz ect..) so good look finding a pop 1 or 2 game, would be dull.
The amount of balancing changes that BTD6 gets every year is remarkable. Most esports don't receive that much care. You asked what tower combinations are "the best" and the reality is that there almost aren't any. Ninja Kiwi has worked incredibly hard to rebalance weak towers to have unique uses, while also slightly nerfing overused towers periodically. Truly, it's part of what makes BTD6 such an amazing game.
That’s really cool. Ninja Kiwi seems dedicated to their fans from what I’ve seen
and also nerfing that one random tower that was C-tier at best every update too LOL
counterpoint... banana farm
@@cashb5357 Banana farm is changed quite frequently. Either directly(such as changing how upgrades work), or indirectly, like when they changed Monkeyopolis..
yeah in my opinion the balance changes bring even more stuff to play around with whenever an update comes out, some reworks feel like new content by themselves
Fun fact: the creater of level 4 in bloons insanity couldn't even beat his own level.

Yea I only didn’t mention it because I was nowhere near getting to those haha. But yea paragons are crazy
@@Jake.Millerfair enough haha getting the paragons especially for all the available towers will take multiple days of nonstop playing

Bloons TD 4 mobile is just a straight upgrade from the flash version in almost every way possible and is 10x better than the flash version but is super underrated
The Mobile/steam version of Monkey City is an upgraded version of the flash version and is based on a really old version of Steam TD 5 but the for some reason they removed the harder western city
Bloons TD battles Flash is a dead game that has been replaced with the Steam version, before the flash died it was ether a high C or low B tier game that was pretty fun as it was more based on flash TD 5 but the Steam version is just a straight up improvement that is based on the Steam version of TD 5

Something I just learned is that there is an Apple Arcade version of BTD Battles 2 but it is really stupid as the Apple Arcade version technically costs money as you have to pay for an Apple Arcade subscription to play it, the main reason this is stupid is that the original version IS ALREADY A FREE GAME nobody will ever get actually play Battles 2+ since the original version is already Free, Battles 2+ doesn’t deserve to be ranked separately from regular Battles 2 but it does deserve an honorable mention and should be talked about at the same time as regular Battles 2 but would be interesting to see how you would compare it to regular Battles 2
There is a DS version of Mobile TD 4, it deserves an honorable mention while taking about Mobile TD4 but it doesn’t need to be ranked separately also instead of saying Mobile BTD 4 you can just call it BTD 4 HD as Bloons Tower Defense 4 HD is a much better name than “The Mobile version of Bloons Tower Defense 4”

Yeah that’s fair. Just didn’t personally enjoy it. But thank you!
Placing all the group popping towers in the back and normal dart monkeys in the front in the first TD games is a new kind of torture for my eyes.
Sorry, I’m sure my placement was terrible through the whole video haha
btd battles was my fisrt ever bloons game, and now i think its definetily an s+ tier game next to btd6

The thing about the energy system in BMC is that it's a resource, not a cap on how much you can play. It limits how many buildings you can place, essentially. It's honestly not a big deal. I'm city level 31 and still don't have enough tiles to cap my energy

@@Jake.Miller that’s sort of what I meant, of course there are always people who have a love for the older games (even myself, I started with btd5 and it will always be my personal favorite game to go back to in the series) but mostly everyone can acknowledge that, for example, btd5 is better than btd4 and that btd6 is better than btd5, objectively they keep improving
Definitely an interesting watch.
I play BTD6 almost every day and I had some smaller history with 4 & 5 when I was younger too while dabbling in some others, but nowhere close to playing them all.
I’m sure some of the btd6 moments were frustrating as an avid player, but I hope the video was entertaining still!
@@Jake.Miller It was a great vid, particularly on the obscure stuff!
I think the only thing that came off as glaring to me was maybe some of the Heroes, but that's kinda their functions not being super clear than anything else.
18:20 it actually stands for massive ornary air blimp
Hi Jake! As someone who's been watching your videos for a while, I wanted to ask:
Can you rank every Epic Rap Battles of History rap battle plz?
Honestly outta all the bloons games, btd5 and btd6 are my favorites, theyre the ones ive had more fun with
I do like how Bloons Adventure Time puts a spin on the btd gameplay by adding rpg elements, it's a lot of fun to make builds for your towers and use trinkets to give them completely new properties and abilities.
Unfortunately, it kinda hurts the gameplay variety - you always go for the same strat, and you always lump towers together for buffs, disregarding the map layout. Not to mention how grindy the game is. Still, it's a very unique entry in the series and it's worth playing
Yes I agree completely. Unique but flawed
I like how his full game series Playlist so far consists of 2 tower defense games, 2 puzzle games, and 2 endless runner games whats next?
Haha probably five nights at Freddy’s
@@Jake.MillerYES! Please do Five Nights at Freddy’s!
0:00 me already knowing that there is 44 games and he’s about to get into literal torture
In bloons td 5 battles, if you played tournament modes it almost always devolved into who had better sun temple placement, if you didnt have good sun temple placement you got overwhelmed by ZOMGs... after like 30 minutes of nothing happening
ALSO: I ASKED DEVS ON THE DISCORD A YEAR OR TWO AGO AND THEY SAID CARD BATTLES FROM BTD5 BATTLES WASNT COMING BACK, AND NOW THERE MAKING IT A SEPERATE GAME
You can’t stop me Jake, I will drink every time you say Bloons and I will raise to a whole new level of existence for it
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jake it's so fun to take shots every time you say peashooter sunflower and bloons
This has Been the best staircase construction video I've ever seen
Yeah interesting that they built the pool around it too
I feel like I'm being made fun of...
“DDT: its black and fast” Jake miller 2024
Tip don’t take a shot every time he says ballon’s, worst day of my lofe.
Haha I guess I should’ve warned you
Life*
@@StevenFaustino-c9t No lofe
People when jake doesn't say "don't take a shot every time when i say bloons"🍺😀
BTD Battles has a card game mode that I REALLY like... sad that you didn't seem to play it or mention it in the video.
Also BTD Battles on the flash or on Ninja Kiwi ran so well compared to now. Holding a button would send out bloons nonstop and the game was full of skilled players so it wasn't too easy like it is now. There was also a chat back then as well.
How many classic video game franchises can you think of that didn't introduce music until after about 10 games in the series?
haha its probably happened with flash games before but that is very crazy
I was waiting for THIS exact video, tysm 😭🙏
of course, just for you bby
23:46 it is hilarious how he came up with that solution and it worked when your just supposed to throw it through the block
Haha well IT WORKED
Old btd battles was the goat, then everything changed when the powers attacked
Haha just like avatar
Finally the moment we’ve been waiting for
the wait is OVER
3:51 it's creator asked his wife what game to do and she said to create a game about monkeys popping ballons(that's what I've heard)
Oh. When I heard the story, I never heard the monkey part
@@Jake.Miller oh ok
Bloons supermonkey 2 (the newer version) is one of my favs, I wish they made new ones
As a long-time Bloons fan, I kept waiting for you to miss an obscure game, but no you really ranked every one I can think of!
33:36 I've played that on Wii and it was so bad 😂 Despite being on the wii, you have to aim by just moving a cursor with the Dpad and all the menus use B to select things instead of A
Good I’m glad! You’re the only person so far who’s sad they played on the Wii, and that sounds even worse than I thought haha
There’s also a 5th upgrade for some towers you can use them if you get any upgrade to level 4(in BTD 6)
Yes, paragons. I got nowhere near them so I didn’t end up mentioning them, I probably should have still
now rank every btd6 upgrade including paragons and combinations
oh boy haha
@@Jake.Miller you know that you also have to rank every paragon level too, right?
I am such an og, that I remember playing the puzzle bloons games, but really not liking the Blood TD ones, because they were all like impossible (Bloons TD 3 was the newest one)
BTD4 made me change my mind tho, it was revolutionary
Btw, 15:26: I was one of those kids
22:10 The only bloons game I could beat as a kid, it felt like that I have become a bloons pro
25:14 Fun Fact: The Super Monkey upgrade for the range in BTD4 has an earth picture on it, and when you upgrade your super moneky to it, the monkey's range becomes exactly as big as the earth on that map. A cool little detail
32:30 There was even a BTD4 Level Editor (it was calles Bloons TD 4 TE, or something like that) but I couldn't figure out how to even open it, but it existed.
I can't find footage of it anywhere, but I remember it existes and having no idea what TE could stand for. I even confused it a couple times with the extension pack which I could play.
Edit for this: I found a page talking about that one. It was appearently called "Bloons TD4 Track Editor", but it is long gone
36:40 Actually, the Bloons 2 mobile game has more levels and a couple ones missing
There was also a game calles "Bloons TD 5 Deluxe", it doesn't exist anymore, but it was basicly BTD5 on steroids
1:05:39 very quick collection of beginner tips. Sada is by far the best hero for beginners droid and gunner are really good. There’s something called paragon that are really difficult to unlock but really powerful and very complicated.
Thanks for the tips! I appreciate it
@@Jake.Miller thank you also if you’re ever watching Bloons Tower, Defense six UA-camrs, you may hear them say something like 0-3-2 glue gunner. This is code for what upgrades you get on a tower. For example, a 0-2-3 dart monkey would be a tower with its bottom half upgraded to crossbow and middle path two very quick shots.
I'm one of like 3 people ever to miss card battles from btdb
I swear that gamemode was peak (until they added broken p2w abilities)
I honestly don't what that is haha, but I'll take your word for it
@@Jake.Miller this the actual 1st implication of a cards game in bloons
Basically in btd battles they made cards which have 2 sides: 1 with a tower that has a specific tiers and the other side being bloons so you can use each card as a tower or a bloon depending on what you choose
You can't upgrade towers so you can't just take cheap cards
I forgot how many cards you could have in a deck but it was around 20
That gamemode was the most fun i ever had in bloons series but ppl generally disliked it
(Three hour bloons lore video)
Me: haha monkey pop balloon XD
haha that's the short and sweet version
He should make a tier list of every tower in bloons
Mayyybe, could be fun
Picking someone who doesn't even know how half of the bigger games work to talk about the game doesnt work
"This game is cool I saw this thing and it was neat, I have no idea what this or this or this or that is and I don't exactly know how it impacts the game, and this mechanic which fits the game perfectly and makes it work is weird because I didn't get to learn the game enough to understand it"
It’s called perspective, I made it clear from the get-go I’m a newcomer to the series. If you want a video made by a true fan of the series then OrangE’s video is for you. I’m going into each game blind and learning everything as I go to the best of my ability. I enjoy watching videos of people breaking down their thoughts on a series/game I love, it’s fun to see different interpretations
Bloons super monkey was my jam as a kid I loved it
BLOPS = Bloons Pops but jesus what a throwback
Ohhhh that does make sense
I adored Bloons Supermonkey 2 Mobile, especially Stormmonkey, but that may just be my rose tinted glasses
But yeahh..I can see the issues with the game
Great video,I didn't even know about some of these games and I'm a BTD Fanatic
I wasn't ready to be reminded of the image that he showed during Hot Air Bloon
haha now you'll NEVER forget
@@Jake.Miller Let’s just say Ninja Kiwi didn’t listen to this guy, don’t ask how I know
DUDE I JUST REALIZED ITS CALLED BLOONS POP THREE BECAUSE ITS A MATCH THREE GAME OH MY GOD
haha where you always just wondering where 1 and 2 were
And now we've got a Bloons Pop 1. They're like a cursed Valve where they can't count to 2.
47:38 erm actually its only at the flash version
dang ok
"HANK, DONT PLAY THE FLASH VERSION OF BLOONS MONKEY CITY, MOST THE STUFF ARE OUTDATED. HANK"
I hate when hank doesn’t listen
Yeah I sure wish Hank listened
15:58 this is official a kiwi is the reason for 911
i guess so
as much hate as battles 2 gets it's one of my favorite games, three towers is so perfect cause no matter what combo you choose (minus super sniper village this update) it has a weakness for you to find and its just really fun to find what rush kills your opponent, it's not perfect and there still needs to be a bit more polish and changes to leagues but its miles ahead of where people say it is
Yea I thought it was pretty good in its current state
BATTD, BMC and BCS better be S tier
Uh ohhhhhhhh
@@Jake.Miller I was thoroughly disappointed but I did agree with BMC a lot.
To be fair, I didn’t say I hated any of those 3, either
@@Jake.Miller very true
OrangeE's video was the third recommendation in my feed on this video
Holy crap 😮 45 games for real man that was a lot of suffering and also what happened to the live stream did you got jumpscare by Freddy Fazbear or something's?
I'll never tell
Let me guess Shasha links scared you 😂😂
@@Jake.Miller let me guess did Sasha links scared you 😂😂😂
2:24 JESSE. WE DO NOT USE OUR OWN PRODUCT JESSE.
The strongest hero is Quincy. Nothing gets past his bow

btd5GVDS, is it over?
Btd6 just has the cleanest style, I would’ve included more if there had been more space to do so
33:03 you didn't talk about the DS version of BTD3 :(
also i think bmc slaps i'm in the crowd that loves slow burn growth to become unstoppable games
My man.. we were beating btd on a consistent basis in the computer lab in like 4th grade..
Clearly “we” does not include me
48:16 actually people hate btdb2 including myself since well they nerfed literally everything that was okay that I invested into plus it's also not as polished so I quit quickly
I don't know if MOST people hate the game, but I do know people hate it and I did discuss that in the BTD Battles 2 section. As an outsider, I enjoyed playing the sequel more
Awesome vid!
thank you!
I had the exact opposite experience for BSM2. I enjoyed the fails originally while getting stronger but trying to go for 100% is the least fun I’ve ever tried. I couldn’t even do it. You get to a point where you’ve gotten 100% red blops and platinum in every level and you won’t even be NEARLY close to owning every upgrade and research.
I really hope NKW makes a third game with many more levels because the concept is fun but the first two games are far too short. Original BSM gets a B tier and BSM2 gets a D tier from me
Likely known but it's called Pop 3 in parody of the Match 3 games (Candycrush bejewled gemz ect..) so good look finding a pop 1 or 2 game, would be dull.
Sure, but the whole point of that bit is there IS a Bloons Pop later in the video
@@Jake.Miller That's what I get for commenting before the end. Ya got me. The bit worked.
I thought there were like 4 mainline game for sum reason. Thanks for making this list!this must taken sooooo much time 😅
haha yep quite a bit more. It took a VERY long time
