Bloons Tower Defense 3: Classic Balloon-Popping Strategy
Bloons Tower Defense 3 is the landmark 2008 tower defense game by Ninja Kiwi that transformed the Bloons franchise into a strategy gaming powerhouse. Waves of colorful bloons are invading, and only your army of specialized monkeys can stop them!
Position an array of defensive monkey towers along winding paths: deploy rapid-fire Dart Monkeys, multi-directional Tack Shooters, high-explosive Bomb Cannons, Ice Towers that freeze bloons in place, and the mighty, lasers-firing Super Monkey.
Upgrade your towers with specialized piercing darts, longer range, and destructive camo detection to counter tough bloon types—from armored Lead Bloons and multi-layered Ceramics to the dreaded massive MOAB blimp.
How to play Bloons Tower Defense 3
- Click on monkey towers in the right-side build menu and place them along the pathway.
- Click on placed towers to purchase range, attack speed, and piercing upgrades using popped bloon cash.
- Start waves and watch your defensive line pop incoming waves of increasingly tough bloons.
- Place road spikes or pineapples on the track for emergency last-second defense if bloons leak.
Tips for winning and high scores
- Use Bomb Towers or Spike-o-Pults to pop metallic Lead Bloons, which are completely immune to standard darts.
- Place Tack Shooters right inside tight hairpin bends so all 8 projectiles hit bloons as they curve around.
- Save up for a Super Monkey: once upgraded with plasma beams, it can solo entire late-game waves with ease.
- Don't hoard cash: reinvest earnings between waves into upgrades immediately to keep pace with bloon speed.
