You place the various monkeys along a path that the balloons will follow and hope you have enough (and have placed them correctly) to pop all balloons before they make it to the end of the path. In Bloons TD, it’s a horde of balloons that you have to fight, using a variety of heavily armed monkeys (originally equipped only with darts, but that’s 4 versions ago). Zombies you fight oncoming zombies using plants. In Field Runners you use actual towers to fight various enemies, and in PLants vs.
Zombies has a lot of fans as well and is available on a variety of platforms (which Field Runners is too, at this point). Field Runners seems to be the most popular one on iOS, though Plants vs. The tower defense concept is based on defending a path from a horde of enemies who keep on coming by placing “towers”, that is, stationary “good guys” that fire various things. At $2.99 I wish they’d do us the courtesy of a universal game, or at the very least an iPad version at all, but it’s not the first time great apps have gone this route. Unfortunately this is an iPhone game, meaning it will run on the iPad with not at the native resolution. Now they’ve released Bloons TD 4 (aka the second version of the iOS game) and it has a lot of nice upgrades, and is more fun than ever. When Bloons TD came to the iPhone a little over a year ago I was thrilled and because it’s tailored to the hardware (unlike Flash) it had no problem keeping up, which meant it was much less of a pain to play. I first played it as a Flash game, which was pointless at higher levels as Flash is utter crap that hugs processing power like crazy (but you all already know that). I’ve tried a few, but the only one I really liked was Bloons Tower Defense.
There are roughly four billion tower defense games for iOS at this point, and they’re all based on the same concept with a few differences here and there that set them apart from one another.
