So goofy (: ### 5/5 — 🎈💥🎯🐵 *2026-07-31* 🎈🎯🐵🐵🎯🎈 ### 4/5 — Clash of Bloons *2026-07-29, version 1.13.1* Very fun just a “tiny” bit of waiting for updates ### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2026-07-29, version 1.13.1* PLEASE MAKE ONE WITH THE BTD6 GRAPHICS AND UPGRADES PLEASEEEEEE ### 4/5 — Full high quality game *2026-07-29, version 1.13.1* I started playing this game a long time ago, and a few things I enjoy about it is that it’s not performance heavy so you can play this on an older phone, the game has a lot to do. It’s not super repetitive, it feels like a true bloons game, and it’s completely free. There’s no features hidden behind a paywall, just decorations. I’ve had tons of fun, but there are occasional ads when you’re in your city. ### 5/5 — READ! *2026-07-28, version 1.13.1* Good umm yea its good ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2026-07-25, version 1.13.1* This is one of my favourite games to play it’s so fun and and it has something for everyone ### 5/5 — monkey approved *2026-07-24, version 1.13.1* Very good but the artwork is very bad, not gonna lie ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-08-10, version 1.13.1* Forced ads are an immediate uninstall for me. Shame, because the game was fun, too. Having both micro-transactions AND forcing ads on people is just…no. ### 1/5 — Actually unplayable *2026-08-07, version 1.13.1* I got a water tile and it forces me to pick the water tile and then forces me to put a dart monkey on water but obviously thats impossible ### 1/5 — Ads after every level *2026-07-29, version 1.13.1* Good game and concept but way too many ads - complete a land (level) an ad pops out not just any ad either it’s a FORCED AD - uninstalled this game due to the ad greed . ### 1/5 — Is the worst game I’ve ever played *2026-07-22, version 1.13.1* Destroyed all my progress on the second day I tried. And forced me to use only the simplest monkey when I was trying to defeat a really big tile. so if I’m gonna rate this, I would rate it a one. ### 1/5 — Trash game *2026-07-21, version 1.13.1* For some reason they decided to add a ufo event where they disable your towers and the events to get them back have 1 star but are actually more difficult than any 5 star map in the entire game I’ve encountered so far and are impossible to beat no matter the strategy and it goes for 7 days, longer than most events, it’s like they decided they hated the game so created an event purely to make players stop playing And the contested territory system is entirely broken, in 2026 this game is unplayable ### 1/5 — Trash game *2026-07-18, version 1.13.1* For some reason they decided to add a ufo event where they disable your towers and the events to get them back have 1 star but are actually more difficult than any 5 star map in the entire game I’ve encountered so far and are impossible to beat no matter the strategy and it goes for 7 days, longer than most events, it’s like they decided they hated the game so created an event purely to make players stop playing ### 1/5 — Awesome *2026-07-03, version 1.13.1* I love this game ### 1/5 — Congrats u ruined ur game *2026-07-02, version 1.13.1* Ad slop and they know it they just don’t gaf ### 1/5 — Amazing game but …. *2026-06-05, version 1.13.1* The game is amazing but too many ads and doesn’t seem to get updates as much ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-05-15, version 1.13.1* Pop up ads every 5 minutes are irritating and kill enjoyment ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-09-06, version 1.13.1* The game is actually good ### 5/5 — Why this is so peak *2026-08-28, version 1.13.1* This game is a 10/10, for the reason of 1. Is free. 2. Add aren’t even that annoying. 3. You can watch ads to skip 15 minutes of time which is a trade off of 40s of your time vs 15 minutes of the timer, is a super op deal in my opinion! ### 5/5 — . *2026-08-26, version 1.13.1* it’s just amazing ### 5/5 — Tuff *2026-08-25, version 1.13.1* Monkey ### 5/5 — B.A.D and more *2026-08-20, version 1.13.1* I finally got to level 17 and I see my first tile with a ddt on it but I want there to be bad balloons because I like them and also if possible ad d a third upgrade path ### 5/5 — boys *2026-08-19, version 1.13.1* Wwe boys ### 5/5 — Fire game *2026-08-19, version 1.13.1* This game fire and better then clash of clans at every level ### 5/5 — Great progressing game *2026-08-09, version 1.13.1* The progress and steps to get all of the upgrades are very nice and stretch out the game so it never gets boring. I hope they add more uses to using ballonstones their is only a few things you can do with balloonstones over all great game ### 5/5 — Tension *2026-08-08, version 1.13.1* This is not a game to relax with; it’s got plenty of tension and techniques to keep learning. I’ve been coming back for more since my kids taught it to me, about 20 years ago! ### 5/5 — boys *2026-08-04, version 1.13.1* we boys --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
