Differences between versions

Flash version and Expansion

Bloons TD 4 Expansion is a separate game based on the Flash version that adds Specialties and replaces all tracks except Premium tracks with four new tracks. Despite being a separate game, account data across both the base game and Expansion is shared if the player is logged in with a Ninja Kiwi account, so players will keep their rank from the base game.

Flash version and mobile version

The mobile version of Bloons TD 4 is a reissue of the Flash original for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. It is a from-the-ground-up remake in a new engine with completely redone graphics. In addition to introducing several new features, some content is absent from this version of the game, such as Sandbox. Some notable additions include Premium Upgrades being earnable in-game through beating maps on Hard, the Beekeeper, and Extreme maps. Because it runs in a different engine, there are several differences in game mechanics, such as bloons always having 0.125s of immunity upon a layer being popped. The mobile version has almost all of the same content as the Flash version, but there are a few tracks exclusive to the Flash version.

iOS version, HD version, and Android version

The mobile version of Bloons TD 4 is further separated into three distinct versions of the game, iOS, HD, and Android. iOS and HD are largely the same game but HD has a different resolution than iOS, resulting in some maps having different track lengths from each other, and likewise allowing for more towers on the map. Android is on the equivalent of Update 3.5 of iOS and lacks Snow Monkey and likewise has different resolution maps, and also lacks support for Achievements or leaderboards.
