'''Footprint''' is the amount of space given up by a [[Tower]].  
'''Footprint''' is the amount of space that a [[tower]] uses when placed in a [[map]]. In the [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'']] games, this game mechanic can limit the type, amount and location of towers that the player can use as part of the [[map difficulty]], where easier maps usually have more open spaces to place either larger or higher amount of towers, and difficult map can restrict them, even to the point where certain towers cannot be used at all.
 
When purchasing a new tower, the player must make sure to have enough open space to place it beforehand, as a new tower cannot override the one that is previously placed, in this case, players can remove the towers that use the desired space, usually by selling them.

Footprint is the amount of space that a tower uses when placed in a map. In the Bloons TD games, this game mechanic can limit the type, amount and location of towers that the player can use as part of the map difficulty, where easier maps usually have more open spaces to place either larger or higher amount of towers, and difficult map can restrict them, even to the point where certain towers cannot be used at all.

When purchasing a new tower, the player must make sure to have enough open space to place it beforehand, as a new tower cannot override the one that is previously placed, in this case, players can remove the towers that use the desired space, usually by selling them.
