Bloons brand

Instead of automatically redirecting to the Bloons TD page I think there should be a page about the Bloons brand, such as the actual game Bloons and not the spinoff Bloons Tower Defense. Jasonxu98 (talk) 22:25, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

We need to make this page about all of them Bloons, bloons td and spinoffs and change the name to Bloons and redirect Bloons TD to here I'll work on that in my sandbox and switch them if you want me to Black60dragon (talk) 23:47, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I was going to suggest this, but it looks like someone beat me to it. I agree that Bloons should get an article, especially if Bloons TD gets an article. Alphius 22:14, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

I think Bloons should get its own article, but Bloons TD should not redirect there because it is already a longish article. Sfoske70 (talk) 14:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

So we make a bloons page on its own and how about I go ahead and make a subpage and give you guys the link and everyone could work on it so it gets down fast and right.

Screenshot

I took a screenshot of Bloons TD, but I am not sure if it goes against copyright to post it. Sfoske70 (talk) 01:02, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I just contacted Ninjakiwi about this - asking for permission to use their logos and screenshots. Maybe we'll get a favorable response! Walkop (talk) 01:54, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Banana Farm

What the Heck, It is called a Banana Farm, how come everytime I look in this page I see that Banana Farm has been messed with! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.194.242.197 (talk) 12:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

I looked now and it says banana farm now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecstatic girl (talk • contribs) 01:38, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Added a little bit on the actual gameplay and money earning processes - including the Banana Farm. It should be correct. Walkop (talk) 01:59, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Gameplay info

The article seems a bit low on actual information about the game and the specific variations on each edition. Anyone willing to help out? I've done a bit, added a table for version availability etc. but even that is low on factual, direct information; and isn't really relevant to gameplay. Walkop (talk) 02:03, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Just letting you know, Wikipedia is not a gameguide. Listing all the types of bloons, towers, levels, etc. is not helpful. Also the table you inserted was unnecessary. The information included in the table should be in the sections for each game, and/or the lead. Just remember, Wikipedia covers things on a real world perspective. Some development information from interviews or something would be more helpful then minor gameplay features. Thanks, _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 16:23, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Of course; I understand. I was actually thinking similarly, but this article is a bit low on information and I hadn't really gotten around to it yet. Thank you for giving your perspective and for your correction. I'll try to help in more factual objective ways. Thanks! _Walkop ^(talk) _{22:45, 14 July 2011 (UTC)}

Updates

I think we should put a section about updates and include a small description of it. Marco Daniel Velasco (talk) 10:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Which is it?

Does M.O.A.B. stand for: Massive Ornary Air Blimp or Mother Of All Bloons?

Could someone provide a citation for this? Ultimately, is it even of noteworthy mention?

Thanks! --Bananasoldier (talk) 01:24, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Cleaning Up

I'm going to be improving this article for a while. If you have any questions about my editing, feel free to ask! --Bananasoldier (talk) 03:03, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

SuperHamster's Advice

I asked SuperHamster for his advice/opinion on the article in its current state. It was really useful to me, so I'm sharing it here:

"Overall coverage of each game looks good, but I also think it's a bit long. Excessive gameplay detail isn't desirable for an encyclopedia, such as lists of all the types of towers, bloon colors, etc. (particularly for Bloons TD 4). Focusing on the key features and biggest changes between each game (graphics, game modes, new features, etc.) are the most important.

I think the next best place to look at is the reception section, since it only mentions a couple of games right now. It's complicated since it's going to cover the entire series. I'd look at the Grand Theft Auto' reception section as a good example; we can provide an overall impression of the entire series, then get into game-specific ratings (with a table?).

Also, question: I believe the article should be moved to Bloons TD, since the series seems to have been renamed? Unless I'm missing something.

For reliable sources related to video gaming, Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources provides more information than you could ever want about video game sourcing. This list provides a comprehensive list of commonly accepted sources, along with custom Google searches set up so your search only returns results from the listed websites. Hope this helps! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:59, 31 December 2013 (UTC)"

To-do list:

• move article focus away from elaborate gameplay detail to key features that differ between games

• add and improve reception section

• move article location  Done

• check current references

• add more references

Images

Some gameplay images are definitely needed and won't be hard to include, but I'm considering removing the logo pictures as I don't think they serve any purpose. Thoughts? Samwalton9 (talk) 20:01, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I can agree on removing logo pictures because if we kept them, we'd need a logo picture for Bloons TD 5. Then it would be unbalanced, and we'd need logos for 1 and 2, and then there'd be images all over the place. We should change the infobox image, as well, because it seems a little outdated.

I'll see what I can do for 4 & 5 screenshots. It might be hard to acquire screenshots for the original version, given that Ninja Kiwi's probably taken the game down.

Bananasoldier (talk) 22:35, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Yeah a logo of some kind would be good for the infobox. Actually just move the infobox image down to the 1st game's section would be best I think. All of the games are still available on the net so we can grab any screenshots that are needed :) Samwalton9 (talk) 23:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Oh, that's good! I added an image for BTD5. Should it be cropped? Bananasoldier (talk) 23:50, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

It doesn't need cropping, but it does need reducing in size. For something like a screenshot to be legitimate fair use it needs to be much smaller than that (1,920 × 1,278 is not small by any means!). Resize it to something like 500x300ish and it should be fine to use. It basically needs to be the case that someone couldn't just copy the art straight out of the screenshot and use it elsewhere. Samwalton9 (talk) 00:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

When I looked at the image, it looked kinda blurry, so I assumed it was "low resolution." Oops. =P Gotcha. Bananasoldier (talk) 00:47, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I fixed it now, but the larger resolution is still there as a "previous version" of the image. How do I kill it off? Bananasoldier (talk) 00:56, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

You need to add {{Non-free reduced}}, which I've done :) Samwalton9 (talk) 01:04, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! :D Bananasoldier (talk) 01:12, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Do you recommend we have a screenshot for every version? Bananasoldier (talk) 01:22, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

No I think that would be overdoing it, especially since the first two versions looked pretty much the same. Maybe just one for TD3 to show the first graphical update might be good, then we've got 1-3-5 to show the change. Samwalton9 (talk) 01:32, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Okay. Odd numbers it is! Bananasoldier (talk) 01:42, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Now that we have three images which are kind of meant to be looked at sequentially, it might be a good idea to use Template:Multiple image? Samwalton9 (talk) 02:28, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I concur. Bananasoldier (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I'd also like to get an infobox logo, but not sure which logo to use. The first game's logo isn't the prettiest of things, but I think it might be the best to use since it just says Bloons Tower Defense. Thoughts? Samwalton9 (talk) 12:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

It looks a bit plain. Bananasoldier (talk) 16:35, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

How about this one? [1] Bananasoldier (talk) 16:38, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Is that an official logo? Samwalton9 (talk) 16:41, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm going to contact them about that question. Bananasoldier (talk) 16:51, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I just did some searching around, and I'm guessing this is the image from the DS version.[2][3] Bananasoldier (talk) 16:54, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

In which case yes I think we should go with that one :) Samwalton9 (talk) 18:43, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

this might be a good place to source it from since it's full size and is Bloons TD rather than Tower Defense. I'll go ahead and upload it now. Samwalton9 (talk) 18:48, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Capitalization

Should we be capitalizing "bloon"? Would it be considered a proper noun or no? Thanks, Bananasoldier (talk) 02:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I honestly have no idea. Samwalton9 (talk) 12:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

We should ideally treat it as the game treats it. Looking at the Android description page for Bloons TD 5, they do capitalize it in the description. But looking into the game on my phone, and I'm seeing the term "bloon" both capitalized and not in different cases...

If we can figure out whether the developers consider it a proper noun or not, then we can go off that. I'm leaning towards it being a proper noun, but we should probably try to get more evidence. Until then....heh. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 02:30, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

In an email from Ninja Kiwi, when I asked whether bloons is a common or proper noun, I was told that "We purposefully try use a lower-case "b" for "bloons" in-game, so a common noun :). For titles of games we capitalise though (as you do with titles)." Bananasoldier (talk) 15:21, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

One sentence

"Bloons follow the map's set path on the track until they either reach the exit(s) or are popped." -Gameplay, paragraph 2

Would you consider this sentence already stated in the first paragraph or do you think it's okay? Bananasoldier (talk) 01:50, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Also, paragraph 2 of gameplay: Maybe we should reword the statement about the bloons being layered inside one another in a Russian Doll style. I've found no sources that actually call it "Russian Doll," and it was merely my observation, therefore original research. Bananasoldier (talk) 02:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't think the slight duplication is a worry, it words it slightly differently anyway. And it's a shame that it kind of might be OR because it's a really good example. I'd be tempted to leave that and see what the GA reviewer thinks. Samwalton9 (talk) 16:36, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Bloons TD Battles

I can't find the release date of the original Bloons TD Battles. Is it absolutely necessary that we add it? Bananasoldier (talk) 04:01, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

While poking around, I did find this:[4], which basically consists of all the old Ninja Kiwi blog posts. Unfortunately, no BTD Battles there. Bananasoldier (talk) 07:15, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Actually, from this [5], we at least know it was released in 2012. Bananasoldier (talk) 07:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I missed this. We can use that last link to just add that it was released in 2012, that's fine :) Samwalton9 (talk) 16:35, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

1. Daemon's Take on Bloons Tower Defense 3 - Web Games Feature at IGN (info) [ign.com] - Redirects. Essentially 404ed.

Comments:This article could potentially meet several points of the quick fail criteria, but I will hold it for a week just in case. The main issue is the lack of development which is completely non-existent as this point and the other article does contain the basic beginnings of the a proper development section. This article also has issues meeting the broad and focused aspects of the GA assessment. This article is a smaller portion of the Bloons line of games, but the section on TD2 is shorter than a stub should be. Its content is a single sentence. The prose is also a problem, with many of the sentences being choppy. This article is like a start or C class as it stands right now and I think it will be very hard to fix this in the time. Though I did make you wait quite awhile for the review, so I can give it two weeks to be fair. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:36, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Checklist

• Dead URL

 Done - Added an archive URL. Samwalton9 (talk) 18:57, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm at an impasse with this one. I can't find any information on the development as sources generally only covered the games themselves. Samwalton9 (talk) 18:57, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

What do you think can be done ChrisGualtieri (talk · contribs)? Samwalton9 (talk) 14:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

• Broad/Focused issues including small TD2 section

I think I'll just remove the TD2 heading and make it TD1&2 as a section. Makes sense seeing as 2 was just a small update to 1. Samwalton9 (talk) 18:57, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

 Done Samwalton9 (talk) 18:59, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

• Prose

Will take a look at this now. Samwalton9 (talk) 14:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

The article is just really lacking without details, this article tells nothing of its availability its marketing its specials or features on websites such as Kongregate. Each game is given no real details or coverage, each one is less than a stub by itself. I don't think there is enough content to make GA as a result. The reader doesn't get much more then "it exists, you pop balloons and it released on this date" for each of the games. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:51, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I actually went out and played one of the games to see what is missing from this. And its a lot. The gameplay aspects alone could be given their own section and this is not really trivial stuff. I simply believe that even the basic game functions are being omitted and so is the distribution and other aspects. I do not think I can pass this without a substantial amount of coverage being added. It is just too bare bones. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:58, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

You mean the gameplay aspects for each game? Regardless I think we've run out of coverage for now and have agree that it's fine if you fail the GAN. Doesn't look like we're going to find any sources for expansion any time soon. Samwalton9 (talk) 15:13, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Are you sure there aren't reviews, manuals, or in-game dialogue that can be used to cite gameplay aspects? I find those all very helpful. Tezero (talk) 21:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I think we've used reviews as much as possible. Manuals and in-game things I hadn't considered for gameplay but that doesn't solve the lack of development section problem unfortunately. Thanks for the advice though. Samwalton9 (talk) 12:49, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Something else that needs to be mentioned is that there's no Development section. You at least want to have a BS Development section if you can't find interviews or primary sources, as is the case in Digimon Racing, for example. Tezero (talk) 06:22, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Development

I saw this at GAN, but where's the development section? czar ♔ 03:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

As much as I'd love to have a development section, I didn't come across any information on the games' development. Samwalton9 (talk) 09:02, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Could you list some sources that would prove Bloons Monkey City's notability? Bananasoldier (talk) 00:22, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Yeah as hinted by banana, we couldn't find sources which talked about monkey city. Though we know that the game exists, we can't really write anything without those sources and thus had to leave it as a mention in the series intro. The same was true for a lot of the other Bloons TD series games unfortunately. Samwalton9 (talk) 00:30, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Agreed, but still, can't we try to find something to make this work? As I mentioned earlier, this game is important to the bloons series.Order of the sword (talk) 04:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Order of the sword

Ba-bam! I emailed the NinjaKiwi team and I got some more references that I don't think we've ever tapped into before: [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Press releases: [12]

Awesome! Sorry it's taken me so long to getting back to this article, been distracted. I think I'll take a look at adding those now. fyi press releases shouldn't be used as sources but the others should be fine. Samwalton9 (talk) 11:49, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Those references look good for a Ninja Kiwi article, but I could only use one for this article since only 2 of them mentioned Bloons TD and it was the same info! Samwalton9 (talk) 11:59, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

They also apologize for not having any coverage of game inspiration, music, development, etc. I'll copy the refs over to the Ninja Kiwi draft.Bananasoldier (talk) 15:51, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Credits

If we found credits to all the games, would they be of any use? Thanks, --Bananasoldier (talk) 17:33, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Game guides

Some game guides do exist for Bloons TD, as they appear here. --Bananasoldier (talk) 06:53, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure how reliable they are. Can't see much in the way of publication details there. Samwalton9 (talk) 11:49, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

What License?

What License is btd shared under? I mean if i want to use their idea and make a new (better) game, what shuld i do? Ask Ninjakiwi? Thanks for any help. Mis012 (talk) 10:30, 23 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.104.210.103 (talk)

Bloons is proprietary software, which means your are at the whims of the developer (as opposed to free software). Unfortunately, Template:Infobox video game series does not seem to have a License option to indicate this; mayhaps you could suggest inclusion of that on the template's talk page? -- dsprc ^[talk] 21:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Bias towards IOS

This article is incredibly bias towards Apple and the IOS platform. These games were released for multiple platforms and the content of this article should reflect this. DrkBlueXG (talk) 19:34, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately that just reflects the higher volume of coverage given to the iOS platform for these games. We did a pretty thorough job of including all the references that we could on the games, and this article is now a pretty good representation of what platforms the game was covered on more.

Adding Bloons TD Battles 2 Controversy/Critique?

Hello, what do some of you think about adding the BTDB2 XP discrepancy between FTP and VIP users and the general review score after the launch in the Reception tab? (also some other stuff.) Seems pretty worthwhile as it eclipses any past controversies (which weren't a lot) in the Bloons series. --EmeraldW4rld (talk) 00:46, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Apologies for the late response, but it would be a good addition for the Reception tab if it is linked to a reliable source (see WP:RELIABLE for some further information about Wikipedia's reliable sources policies). Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 10:47, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Not long enough

This page is not long enough Coopdeloop22 (talk) 13:35, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

It's not really about if the page is "long enough" but whether there is potential for expanding the article with content supported by reliable sources. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 10:47, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
