'''''Bloons TD 4''''' (also called '''''Bloons TD 4 Mobile''''' to distinguish it from the {{Flash version of|Bloons TD 4}}) is a mobile game in the [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'' series]] developed by Digital Goldfish and published by Ninja Kiwi on December 2010. It is based on the Flash version of ''Bloons TD 4'', but remade in a new engine with redone graphics and additional content. This game is the basis for the [[Bloons TD 4 (DSi)|DSi]] version of ''Bloons TD 4''. In 2011, an HD version for iPad was released, and currently has the same content as the iOS version. In December 2011, an Android version was released, and in 2012 the Android version was also available through Amazon. The Android version lacks [[Snow Monkey]] but otherwise has the same content as the iOS version.
 
While the iOS and HD versions is still available for mostly any iOS device, the Android version has been delisted for years because of compatibility issues.<ref name=NK>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200212143015/https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173357-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-6th-december-2019|archive timestamp=20120115081601|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi? - 6th December, 2019 Blog}}</ref>
==Bloons TD 4 Lite==
'''''Bloons TD 4 Lite''''' was a free version of ''Bloons TD 4'' for iOS devices that launched shortly after the full game and featured limited content compared with the full game. Compared with the full game, its only map was Ocean Road, lacks Apopalypse and Deflation, and lacks the Spike Factory, Dartling Gun, and Beekeeper.<ref name= appspy>{{cite|url=https://www.appspy.com/app/469487/bloons-td4-lite|retrieved=22 Nov 2024|title = AppSpy page for BTD4 Lite}}</ref> '''''Bloons TD 4 HD Lite''''' has even more restrictions, as players cannot access freeplay, cannot level up past level 16 and thus, cannot use tier 4 upgrades.<ref name= ta>{{cite|url=https://toucharcade.com/games/bloons-td-4-hd-lite#details|retrieved=22 Nov 2024|title = TouchArcade page for BTD4 HD Lite}}</ref>
==Differences from the Flash version of ''Bloons TD 4''==
===Content===
*This version lacks some maps from the Flash version, but has some exclusive maps.
**The only ''[[Bloons TD 4 Expansion]]'' map included is [[Monkey Temple]].
*[[Extreme]] difficulty maps are only available in this version.
*On the iOS and HD versions, Game Center exclusive achievements are available instead of Ninja Kiwi achievements, and in the Android version, no achievements are available.
*This version lacks cloud saves.
*[[Premium Upgrades]] are unlocked by owning a certain number of Gold Medals, although they can still be purchased with real money.
*This version features the [[Beekeeper (BTD4)|Beekeeper]] as an exclusive tower, retroactively added after the release of the {{Flash version of|Bloons TD 5}}.
*[[Sandbox (BTD4)|Sandbox]] is not available, and thus, Rank 26 awards nothing.
===Mechanics===
*This version has altered attack speed for most towers compared with their Flash Counterparts, although most are relatively insignificant. <!--Attack speed related information was determined by manually checking frames in recorded videos-->
**Most notably, [[Ring of Fire (BTD4)|Ring of Fire]] attacks every ~0.37s instead of every ~0.74s.
**[[Super Monkey (BTD4)|Super Monkeys]] and [[Faster Barrel Spin (BTD4)|Faster Barrel Spin]] Dartlings attack every 0.1s instead of every ~0.057s.
**[[Plasma Vision (BTD4)|Plasma Vision]] and [[Sun God (BTD4)|Sun God]] attacks every 0.05s and is attack speed capped.
*In this version, the Attack Speed cap is 20 attacks every second. Towers affected by [[Jungle Drums (BTD4)|Jungle Drums]] occasionally spend one less frame inbetween attacks if the attack speed does not perfectly line up with a given frame.
*[[Laser Vision (BTD4)|Laser Vision]] can now pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD4)|Lead Bloons]].
*For maps in both this version and the Flash version, track length differs from their original counterpart because of the different resolution.
*This version's [[Mortar Tower (BTD4)|Mortar Tower]] will automatically pause upon re-targeting, instantly reloading upon selecting a target. A side effect of this is that the Mortar can attack extremely fast by constantly re-targeting it immediately after the blast appears.
*[[Rainbow Bloon (BTD4)|Rainbow Bloons]] split into two [[Black Bloon (BTD4)|Black]] and [[White Bloon (BTD4)|White Bloons]] rather than two [[Zebra Bloon (BTD4)|Zebra Bloons]].
*[[Bloon]]s have 1/8th of a second of invulnerability after a layer is popped. This does not apply when damaging a layer with more than one health without popping it.
*[[Freeplay]] games can now be saved.
