Bloons Tower Defense

Bloons Tower Defense (also called Bloons Tower Defense 1 or BTD1) is the first tower defense game in the Bloons series, released in 2007. The goal is to place towers along the track to prevent incoming waves of Bloons from reaching the track's exit.
Although Flash was discontinued on January 12 2021, Bloons Tower Defense is still playable through BlueMaxima’s Flashpoint as well as the Ninja Kiwi Archive.
==Gameplay==
The entire game takes place on a single curvy path set in a grassy field. You start out with $650 and 40 lives, and must use that money along with the money earned from popping Bloons to set up a solid defense using the five different tower types in your arsenal in order to beat all 50 rounds. Each tower type has its own method of attack, and can be upgraded to increase its lethality against the Bloons. Most Bloons can be popped with relative ease, but certain Bloons can resist attacks from a particular type of tower.
==Towers==
* Dart Tower: A normal monkey that throws darts at Bloons. Each dart pops one Bloon. Costs $250 to place.
** Upgrade #1: Piercing Darts - The Dart Tower's darts can now pop two Bloons, able to pierce through the first one they hit. Costs $210.

**Upgrade #1: Epic Range - The Super Monkey's range is increased. Costs $300.
==Bloons==
*Red Bloon: The most basic Bloon. Moves slowly and spawns nothing when popped.
*Blue Bloon: Moves a little faster and spawns a Red Bloon when popped.
* Green Bloon: Moves fairly quickly and spawns a Blue Bloon when popped.
*Yellow Bloon: Moves very fast and spawns a Green Bloon when popped.
* Black Bloon: Moves as fast as a Blue Bloon and spawns two Yellow Bloons when popped. Is immune to Bomb Towers' attacks.
*White Bloon: Moves slightly faster than a Black Bloon and spawns two Yellow Bloons when popped. Is immune to Ice Towers' attacks.
== Trivia==
* The Tack Tower, Ice Tower, and Bomb Tower were inspired by special Bloons seen in the first Bloons game (specifically the Tack Bloon, Ice Bloon, and Bomb Bloon respectively).
*The Super Monkeys were inspired by Superman.
*Despite this game having the weakest roster of Bloon types, BTD1 is considered by most fans to be the hardest game in the Bloons Tower Defense series because you only get 40 lives and the tower lineup is also quite basic.
*One of the pre-round comments that appears during gameplay claims that you can't beat the game using only Tack Towers; however, this is actually doable.
