How to Play & Credits

How to play

• Stop the Bloons from making it to the end of the track. Sometimes there are multiple paths, but most of the time there is one entrance and exit.
• Place towers on the right side of the screen by dragging onto the field, hover mouse over the icon for tower information. Towers have four upgrades, two across two paths, which enhance the tower's abilities.
• For track items (Road spikes, pineapple), after dragging it onto the field it will stick to your mouse, and you can keep clicking/tapping to place more of that item. To get it off, drag your cursor back to the right side of the screen, and it will go away. 
• More information is given during gameplay in the form of pop ups between rounds. 
• Play button starts the round. While a round is going on, the play button becomes the fast forward button. Fast forward button makes gameplay play twice as fast. Auto button makes the next round start immediately without having to press the play button.
• ONLINE MULTIPLAYER: To play online, press the "CO-OP" button instead of "PLAY" when selecting a track. Not all modes are available for co-op play. After pressing, you will connect and begin searching for another player. It is HEAVILY RECOMMENDED to ask someone to play with you at the same time instead of waiting for a person to randomly join, as it's unlikely of happening. During online play, the host selects the track/mode and controls the play/fast forward buttons, while the guest can only aid the player. The guest cannot lose lives, only the host can, and both players will lose if the host runs out of lives.
• If things are slow or not working properly while playing online, check the "Delay" in the bottom left. If "Delay" is less than 5 you have a great connection to your friend, but if it's over 10 then things will likely be slow. If you keep getting high delay, try playing at another time of day.
• TRACK CREATOR: To create custom tracks, scroll to the left on the Pack select screen and find "Track creator." Here you can load custom tracks or create your own. Once saving your track, you will receive a code. You can enter this code in the editor or on "Play a track" to load your custom track.

• Griffpatch online multiplayer tutorials aided the development of co-op, his video tutorials were used as well as some code although a lot is modified to work with this game.
• This game was coded in Scratch for the challenge of working around its limitations. Special thanks to TurboWarp as the game currently uses on their servers. It may be moved at a later date.
