How to play Bloons TD 3

Bloons TD 3 is a classic tower defense game where your goal is to prevent waves of bloons from reaching the end of the track by strategically placing monkey towers and road items. Here’s how to master it across different platforms.

Getting Started

Start by choosing one of eight tracks. Four are available right away, and four unlock as you complete levels on Easy, Medium, or Hard. Each map has unique bloon paths and increasing difficulty.

You begin each round with a limited budget to place towers like Dart Monkeys, Tack Shooters, and more. You earn cash by popping bloons, which you use to upgrade or place new towers.

Controls and Gameplay

• Desktop : Use your mouse to select, drag, and place towers. Click towers to upgrade or sell them.
• Mobile (touch controls): Tap to place towers, pinch to zoom (depending on your emulator setup). Use your fingers to drag items into place.

Towers and Upgrades

There are 11 towers in total, each with two upgrade paths. Damage-dealing towers like Super Monkey and Boomerang Monkey are your frontline defense, while support towers like Monkey Beacon boost your strategy. Don’t forget powerful road items like Pineapples and Glue for quick interventions.

Unlock Super Monkey Storm by upgrading the Monkey Beacon fully — it clears the screen of all but the toughest bloons!

Freeplay Mode

Once you beat 50 rounds, Freeplay Mode unlocks, letting you continue up to round 150. This mode is ideal for testing long-term strategies and maxed-out defenses.
