  • Bloons TD 6 is a rich game not only gameplay-wise but the developers have made sure to put a lot of Easter Eggs and references that make us love the game even more. There are a lot of small references to various stuff, but I've decided to make a video about the Top 5 things you might not know about BTD6. Starting from two secret towers, to coded language and symbols found on many maps and references made about movies and in-game stuff, bloons td 6 has it all. I hope you enjoy the video and if you did, don't forget to leave a thumbs up on it! Thanks for watching!

Like Broome... our 85th biggest town with a population of less than 16k. Basically all our major cities are on the coast anyway, so at that point, they could have placed them entirely randomly around the track and made a stronger claim that they represent city centres.
