Bloons TD Battles is a game in the Bloons TD series that released in 2012. It is based on the Flash version of Bloons TD 5 and shares many of the same assets and mechanics. It is the basis of the mobile version of Bloons TD Battles and the first game in the Bloons TD Battles sub-series. It debuted in a beta test in early December 2012,[1] and left beta later in December.[2]

On 1 April 2022, Ninja Kiwi announced the end of service for several Flash games. Despite not being one of the games listed in the announcement,[3] the servers for this game were shut down on 30 April 2022, rendering the game's online features inaccessible. Some main menu features, such as the store, remain functional.

Gameplay

Further information: Bloons TD Battles#Gameplay

In this version of Bloons TD Battles, each player has four tower slots by default. Each player is required to spend Battle Energy to start a match, which slowly refills over time at a rate of Battle Energy 1 every 12 minutes and has a maximum of Battle Energy 50 by default. Players can also purchase items in the store to refill their Battle Energy and/or permanently increase their maximum Battle Energy. Entering a battle costs Battle Energy 10, unlocking the Extra Tower Slot to use five towers in a match costs Battle Energy 6, and using the Spy Ability to see the opponent's loadout before the match starts costs Battle Energy 1.

Rounds

Main article: List of rounds in Battles (Flash)

    • Round 12 is based on round 25 in BTD5 instead of round 24.
    • Round 43 is based on round 85 in BTD5 instead of round 86.
    • All Bloon groups within each round have their starting time and duration reduced by 34%, effectively making rounds progress over 50% faster than in BTD5.
