At end game, it's super laggy and borderline unplayable when you are doing things like Martian throne runs past wave 30. It's as if it doesn't use your device properly to help either since it lags just as much if I play it on my phone or my gaming PC.”

The game offers a mix of replayability through features like the bloon beacon and a variety of levels, but some players feel it lacks sufficient challenges and new content, such as maps and characters. While many appreciate the adjustable difficulty and unique unlockables, others criticize the slow progression and limited incentives to replay completed levels, suggesting that the overall replay value could be improved.
- “The large list of levels plus unlocking harder versions of stages also helps it have very high replayability.”
- “Better yet, it does this while maintaining a balanced, yet adjustable level of difficulty and replay value.”
- “I appreciate the level replay value and secretly love games where not all accounts are exactly alike in terms of rewards/unlockables (allies/trinkets/weapons).”
- “There haven't been any new maps or characters added, and there's no co-op mode like in the other Bloons games, so there's hardly any replay value.”
- “By the way, there's no replayability; once you complete a level, it's pointless going back for 10-50 gold when you require 1k to continue after a failure. It's just another form of funneling to the cash shop; that is how this game operates.”
- “I appreciate the level of replay value and secretly love games where not all accounts are exactly alike in terms of rewards/unlockables (allies/trinkets/weapons).”
