What Bloons TD 6 is built for

The Bloons TD 6 pages describe a game built around maps, monkey towers and upgrades. Here is what they say, and nothing more.

One page says the game has 44 original maps, some with 3D objects that can block line of sight [2]. For a player, that means some maps have objects that change what a tower can see.

The same sources say the game has 21 monkey towers, including 2 all new monkeys, Druid and Alchemist [2].

The Steam page says the game has 25 Monkey Towers, each with 3 upgrade paths and unique activated abilities [3]. The two pages do not agree on the tower count, so check which number applies to the version you plan to play.

The pages used here say little else, so check the game's own page for devices, accounts and game modes.

What Tower Bio Defense is built for

Tower Bio Defense is made by the team that publishes this site. You play it in a web browser [1]. It runs as a web game [1].

Before a game starts, you pick a map, and the chosen map is kept in the page link [1].

Once towers are placed, you can select one and upgrade it [1]. You can also sacrifice a tower you have placed [1]. Towers can shoot projectiles or attack up close in melee [1].

Some enemies are armored [1]. Some enemies, like the MOAB, split into weaker enemies when defeated [1].

The art targets a hellish, creepy, fleshy look with gore and blood effects [1]. Players who prefer a lighter look should look at screenshots first.

Because neither price is available in these sources, the table below marks the missing parts as not published. A price comparison needs figures from each game's own page, taken on the same day and for the same device.
