Bloons TD 4 is the fourth instalment of the popular tower defence flash game for PC that is ported to iOS devices. It has all the basics of a regular tower defence game such as buying and upgrading towers, placing them on a map, and eventually killing invaders which in this game are cheerful balloons.

| Gold medals are hard to achieve :( |
Dislikes:
- Noticeable lags for higher levels
- Not a lot of difference from previous games
- No zoom in function
- Towers are hard to place and select when over crowded
- Addictive
 |
| New playlist function added! Listen to your favourite music while popping ballooons. |
Tips:
- Monkey buccaneer is your friend, very efficient when starting a level
- Upgraded Monkey buccaneer + bomb tower can detect and pop all types of balloons
- Upgraded Monkey apprentice can send a lot of balloons to the beginning of the line
- Don't be caught off-guard! Some rounds are surprisingly much harder than the previous one
- You can just play the easy rounds over and over to unlock all the towers/tower upgrades
- Use tacks for camouflage balloons if you don't have towers that detect them

| Why do monkeys hate balloons so much? |
Conclusion:
The Bloons series may not be as graphically astounding as Star Defense nor as popular as Fieldrunners but it certainly holds it own in the tower defence genre. It is well polished, easy to play, and very addicting. Every tower defence fan will be more than satisfied to spend hours upon hours popping balloons and unlocking many elements in the game. Personally, it is easily one of the best tower defence games out there and you are not a full-pledged TD fan if you don't have this in you Iphone or Ipod touch.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but if you exit a game and go to, let's say answer a text, when you come back to the game all the Bonus In-Game Upgrades turn themselves off.
Try checking if you have the latest version. I used a 4th generation ipod touch on this review and I didn't have that problem even id I have to exit this game and use another app.
