Game modes[]

Bild 2023-03-25 223744004

Game Modes in BTD 5

Every game mode awards a different medal and a different amount of Monkey Money and Tokens. After the first completion of a game mode mode, the rewards on future completions have a much smaller amount and will not award another medal.

Apopalypse, Deflation and Sandbox mode cannot be "beaten" and will therefore not grand any rewards.

In addition, Easy, Medium, Hard and Impoppable can be played with two special modes: Fast Track or Reverse. Both need to be unlocked and can be toggled on or off before starting the game. When completing a game in Reverse mode, an additional Reverse medal will be awarded. Fast Track does not grand any additional rewards.

Easy[]

  • On Easy towers cost less than normal, Bloons move a little slower and the player has 200 lives. Beating round 50 on Easy awards you a bronze medal for that track.

Medium[]

  • On Medium towers cost normal and the player has 150 lives. Beating round 65 on Medium awards the player a silver medal for that track.

Hard[]

  • On Hard towers cost more than normal, Bloons move faster and the player has only 100 lives. Beating round 85 on Hard awards the player a gold medal for that track.

Impoppable[]

  • On Impoppable towers cost even more than on hard, Bloons move faster, are stronger than ever and the player can't lose a single life. Beating round 85 on Hard awards the player an Impoppable medal for that track.
  • Impoppable unlocks at Rank 35.

Apopalypse[]

  • "Once you start, you cannot stop. Bloons will keep coming until you lose. How far can you get?" (Official description)
  • There are no breaks between rounds. The cost of towers and upgrades are the same as in Medium. Income is not earned by progressing from one round to the next; only from popping Bloons and money-generating towers. The difficulty and number of Bloons in Apopalypse Mode also increases as the player progresses to higher rounds.
  • Apopalypse unlocks at Rank 32.

Deflation[]

  • "Start with $50,000. No more money is earned during play. You start at round 30 and banana farms and other cash generating abilities are disabled. How far can you get?" (Official description)
  • The player starts out at round 30 with 50,000 cash, but every cash generating method is disabled. Upgrades that can modify the value of cash or give more cash, like Monkey Town, Bloon Trap and Support Chinook, will have their cash generating effect negated, although their other effects will still work (if they have any). Selling towers, however, will still refund cash. The Deflation mode shows the icon of a bloon deflating.

Sandbox[]

  • "Test out towers, strategies, tactics and anything you like. Have a play and have some fun" (Official description)
  • Sandbox Mode is a mode that allows players to send out specific bloons at any time and there is an infinite amount of cash and lives provided. All prices shown are from Medium Difficulty. At the bottom of the screen, there are boxes with the type of bloon in them and a hotkey. To spawn bloons, click on the box or press the hotkey and one of that bloon will spawn. Holding down the hotkey will create a line of that type of bloon. Sandbox Mode costs 1,500 Monkey Money to unlock.

Mastery[]

  • "Masteries are only for the BTD5 Elite. Bigger Bloons, bigger rewards, and bigger challenges await this prestigious mode" (Official description)
  • This special game mode adds 5 new medals to every track. Monkey Money and token rewards are doubled. In Mastery Mode, all bloon ranks are increased by 1(excludes ZOMG's). In addition, cash from popping bloons is halved, and cash penalties happen faster.

Requirement for unlocking mastery mode are following:

9th slot
Intermediate Mastery 10th slot
Advanced Mastery 11th slot
Expert Mastery 12th slot

Co-op[]

Main article: Co-op Mode (BTD5)

Co-op mode was released to BTD5 mobile several months after it was added to BTD5 Flash.

This mode is unlocked at the start of the game (unlike BTD 5, which is unlocked at rank 10) and it involves two players cooperation. In BTD5, it is only available for up to two players per game. The player may choose a random game based on their preferred difficulty(s) (Easy, Medium, Hard, as well as Impoppable only on BTD5 Mobile) and map difficulty(s) (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, but not Extreme); afterwards, they will wait for another player that matches the selected criteria as the player. Soon, both players will be ready to play their Co-Op Mode game.

Players are limited to placing, controlling, upgrading and selling towers on their half of the map (the left and right halves). This can also provide some advantages, such as Dartling Gun control and banana collecting able to be separately performed by two players simultaneously.

Events[]

Main article: events

There is typically at least one ongoing event available in the game at all times.

Main article: Boss Bloon
  • Boss Bloons can appear on several maps during the event. Much like in Bloons Monkey City, they will slowly move along the track either until they are popped or until they exit. Rewards (such as Special Agents or a small amount of Monkey Money) are given when the Boss is defeated.

Golden Bloon[]

Main articles: Golden Bloon (BTD5 Mobile), Golden Bloon
  • It has the properties of a Ceramic, Camo, and Lead Bloon, moves as fast as a Pink Bloon, and has much more health. After many hits, the Bloon pops and releases a reward. The Golden Bloon's rewards are Monkey Money and an Agent, with more Monkey Money awarded on higher difficulties.

Bloonvasion[]

Main article: Bloonvasion
  • In Bloonvasion, the player is given a random set of 5 towers, and must defend against a set number of rounds. There are several "milestones" that give rewards upon being reached, with higher rounds giving more valuable rewards.


Odyssey mode[]

Main article: Odyssey Mode (BTD5)

Every week the developers at Ninja Kiwi choose a set of maps to challenge a player. In the beginning, you can choose your difficulty. Higher difficulties mean bigger and better rewards, but increases the amount of maps that must be beaten. The player must complete all the maps in the chosen difficulty.

In each difficulty, the maps are in order, with the easiest maps coming first and the hardest maps coming last. There are three maps in Easy Odyssey Mode, four in Medium, and five on Hard. The first map will guaranteed be a relatively easy Beginner Track. Maps in between may be of any Track Difficulty, with harder tracks being placed in harder difficulties. The final map will always be Intermediate on Easy, Advanced or Expert on Medium or Hard. Occasionally, Hard Difficulty Odyssey may have one Extreme Track as the final map.

However, the player only has one set of lives, and If the player loses all lives at a point during any map in Odyssey Mode, the player will have to restart the entire Odyssey unless a Continue is bought (which costs 500, as with other games).


Monkey lab[]

Main article: Monkey Lab

The Monkey Lab allows permanent upgrades to be bought with Tokens () to enhance gameplay of each game. It is available in the main menu, accessible by scrolling though and found between the "Social" building and the "Settings" building.

Specialist Buildings[]

Main article: Specialty Buildings

Specialist Buildings are ways to specialize in any one tower type in Bloons TD 5. The buildings buff a tower in certain ways but it also increases the cost of another tower and it's upgrades by 5%. A plot of land must be purchased for Monkey Dollar250. Then, a Specialty Building can be build on top of it. After that, every Building can be upgraded up to 3 times. In BTD5 Flash and BTD5 Deluxe, it can only be upgraded 2 times.

While all Specialty Buildings can be bought, only one can be active at a time. Purchased Specialty Buildings can be activated or deactivated by clicking on the "Activate" or "Deactivate" button appearing over the Specialty Buildings "shop".

The first upgrade reduces the price by 5%, while the second one mostly increases the fire rate of the tower by 10% (second upgrade generally costs the same as the first). The third and fourth upgrade is special and different for each tower. It also costs more than the first two upgrades.

Specialty Buildings will also visually appear different when upgraded further. These visual changes to the Specialty Buildings have no impact on the gameplay though.

Trivia[]

"Track editor" sprites found in the game files

  • If a tower is granted the ability to pop Lead Bloons and/or frozen bloons (such as from the Monkey Intelligence Bureau), the sound of a sharp projectile hitting those will simultaneously make the sound and pop it (this happens in mobile versions of Bloons Tower Defense 4 also).
  • Daily Challenge mode in Bloons TD 5 Mobile has been replaced by random challenges, similarly to Bloons TD 5 Deluxe.
  • If the player plays this game on an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, or iPhone 4S, the fact that the player must tap the towers (bottom left), and agents and abilities (bottom right) icons for their menus to appear affects the difficulty of the game. However, while playing on an iPhone 5 (and later), towers and special agents/abilities can be found on the right side of the screen.
  • This version lacks some sound effects from other versions (i.e. On the intro sequence, also with Abilities).
  • Before the addition of the track Brick Wall (version 1.2), with full sacrifices, The Temple was less powerful and it also fired no ice balls (although it was still capable of freezing Bloons), in addition, it fired MOAB Maulers rather than golden missiles (hence the fact that it deals extra damage to MOAB-Class Bloons). This was changed in version 1.2 so that the ice balls were visible, the MOAB Maulers were replaced with golden missiles, and it was buffed.
  • Sandbox Mode must be purchased with Monkey Dollar1,500 instead of being unlocked for free at Rank 25.
  • It is possible to replay a round that receives a game over by exiting and reopening the game while losing the towers and upgrades the player purchased during the round.
  • The Monkey Engineer has a glitch when upgraded to 1/4. It will show a 0/0 Engineer building Sentry Guns with a big attack range and maybe confusing why the Engineer changed his hat to his old one.
  • In July 2015, IGN made Bloons TD 5 as a free Game of The Month, with a free promotion code for iOS users only. This event is a limited time for a month.
  • Games can be saved even after entering Freeplay Mode.
  • Tracks in this game are thinner than flash's tracks.
  • The two 3-bloon packs that appear at the screen when finishing a track can be popped by tapping on them.
  • You can make close to the equivalent of a true sun god this can be done by getting all the max sacrifices adding a few sun gods inside the sides of the temple and surrounding it with a call to arms monkey villages (they can stack infinitely)
  • If you use the call to arms they can make a ray from the temple.
  • Most Upgrade Descriptions are shorter than on the Flash version.
