*Hope you all enjoy this fun casual video! I always have a blast playing this game. I am currently away getting married so the weekly schedule might fly out the window soon but hopefully we have it covered!* A huge thanks to the wonderfully talented Coolcactus whose monkey art we used in the thumbnail!

Bloons without monkeys?!? I can't even begin to describe how offended I am by this, not without a whole bunch of typewriters anyway.

Fun fact, canonically, each tower that isn’t a monkey, has a very tiny monkey in it Source: Dev QnA and the monkey in tack shooter pfp

Spiff; I’m doing something devious, and unimaginable! The rest of the BTD6 community: been there, done that

The Bloon-chipper is forever in our hearts, that entire tower felt like an exploit

At this point I'm so confident in spiffs abilities I thought he was going to accomplish this without any towers at all

I've never ever played a game that I've been this hooked on. Bloons TD6 is absolutely the craziest game I've spent days on unintentionally.

Nice strategy idea. I was able to get to round 154 using the same hero and limitations. Bomb Shooter - 052, 024, 042, 502 Tack Shooter - 025, 510 Spike Factory - 520, 250, 205 (at the top) Monkey Village - 520 Tons of Spike Factory 420

The amount of shouting into the void I did while you went over the middle left spike factory several times before finally giving it white hot spikes, never change Spiff 😂

Definitely wasn't expecting a relatively easy challenge without exploits. But still a great video as usual.

Tip: Tack Zone is an extremelly OP upgrade, if buffed u can use this tower as the main source of dmg to defeat even round 100.

Suggestion: try placing more villages! Villages improve range of towers. And also one of the second upgrades gives every tower nearby camo abilities! Very useful. Also try going for the bottom banana farm path instead of the upper one. Monkey Wall Street can collect nearby bananas, gives money and lives!

I have found that the Ring of Fire path upgrade is just phenomenal with the monkey village's camo detection

Next up on the spiffing Brit: can you beat life without breathing

the one criticism i have: Tack Zone would have been a massive help. it would have covered almost the entire circle and spew tacks at an insane rate

Small suggestion: the Bomb Tower has a path that allows it to stun balloons. At max on that path it can stun all balloons except the BAD, and it is pretty cheap too like 60k-ish on medium for the final upgrade. So paring that with a monkey village with 2 in middle path (the camo detection one) allows you to stun lock almost every wave up to one of the fast camo MOAB waves. But this works best on a map with one chokepoint so not the map you were on unfortunately.

You can switch your cannons to shoot the strongest targets first to ensure they shoot moabs for in the future

I'm surprised he never used the monkey village... that thing could've buffed the middle and done some wacky things with removing camo, upping attack speed, etc. Pretty sure there are a couple late game upgrades that would be a little broken if they weren't so expensive.

My day always gets better and WAY more chaotic as soon as I see a new Spiffing Brit video. Keep up the hilariously game-breaking work!

That was a fun challenge! Managed to get up to round 151 myself but messed and used all 43 spike storm abilities on round 150 for fun. Turns out I needed a few for the DDTs on 151, otherwise I probably could have squeezed out a few more rounds.

I think one of the good tips that you didn't use is to change your cannons to target, not the first balloon, but the strongest. That way if there's a bunch of tiny balloons that your spikes are going to handle or floating around your bombs, don't waste time shooting at it and instead focus on popping moabs and heavy hitters

You can tell he played with game tips off. Excited to potentially see more from this game.

so this video is literally just him playing the game

Spiff, Pro-Tip from someone who has too many hours in this game. Upgrading towers is almost always better then buying another. Just clicking top path spike factory will basically carry you to round 80 on this map. You might want 1 middle-path spike to burn MOABs with Spike Storm. And on any map with one lane, if you get a Super Mines (Top Path T5 Spike) you win, Super Mines is the single most powerful tower in the game, minus the T5 Super Monkeys, and even then, Super Mines holds up to these. Also buffs are super powerful, basically, whenever you can buff a tower that's at tier 3-5, its almost always more cost efficient to do that, then to buy another tower. Personally, if I did this challenge, making it to round 120 wouldn't be an issue, I'll probably get bored before 140, but even round 200 is probably doable with these towers, given that we have Farming, as well as Bloon Crush, Bloon Crush will basically solo everything that isn't a BAD, and you can spam Spike Storms for Fortified BADs. Farming means infinite money to juggle Homeland (Basically, you buy 1 050 Village, and 2 040 Villages, and when the homeland buff expires, you sell it and immediately buy it back on another of the 040 villages and you get homeland back immediately, so you can keep 100% Uptime)

Love to see a beginner in the bloons popping gaming, nice to see a game i actually know more than spiff for once

The monkey village not containing any monkeys sounds like a Cities: Skyline exploit by Spiff.

Okay first congratulations on getting married and have a wonderful time, second this video was crazy cute just seeing someone going through the beginner phase is so cool to see cause like the engagement where you experiment with cross paths just to see it reminds me of starting out I'm so happy that the balloons franchise still has that appeal keep it up I love your content a toast of tea to you in the spiff approved tea receptacle.

I really love the mechanical towers so this is pretty close to how I normally play xD They are really strong too so this challenge isn't too hard on many maps below advanced.

ive been watching ISAB having fun with the "quantum entanglement bug". it really is something else, he found out that it can also make abilities repeat constantly, meaning infinite first strikes and supply drops.

Targeting priority would help you quite a bit. You can tell the bomb shooters to focus on strong targets like moabs.

0:44 why you gotta do me like that 😂

Spiff Plays Games Exactly As Intended is my favorite genre of video

It's always nice to see new players come into bloons especially when they are the spiffing brit himself

This is just a normal challenge in this game. Fun but not up to standard of breaking the game that I'm used to.

A tip Spiff. While Plantations are great Marketplaces are better cause they just add money automatically without a need to collect. Also in the current state of the game. 1 0/0/5 Monkey Village is too good. Put a 0/0/0 farm near it and bam. Great amount of money a round. Also Sometimes focusing on getting a single tower to max is better. Like the 5/0/0 spike factory is worth that cost. Its a monster. Glad you played this its fun seeing you play a more chill kind of challenge.

This is a video i didn't know i needed. Please do more BTD6 content.

today on famous exploit man plays a game normally without exploits

It’s quite nice seeing spiff playing bloons tower defense 6

Literally just Spiff playing BTD6. I'm here for it.

I LITERALLY JUST HAD THIS IDEA, THIS VIDEO WAS GREAT OMG

Needed this back in my computer class on cool math games.

About the whole tower linking thing, i remember an old bug in BTD5. By upgrading a normal dart monkey to a catapult while super monkey fan club was active would make the catapult shoot at smfc rates

This is cool to see cause that is my exact playstyle back when I played this game years ago! Lot the spikes and money farm combo!

I’ve been playing this game like crazy lately I can believe you made a video on it :)

No way, Spiffing Brit Bloons video? Incredible, exciting, splendid, bloody brilliant even! Thank you

6:17 there's no chance for lead or ceramic bloon as all rounds have predetermined bloon type, count and spacing

I remember the first time we got computers/tablets in school. They had the free btd3? on them, but a couple of us managed to finagle them so it behaved as the full version

Glad to see you playing this game I think a fun Idea would be doing an elite boss without paragons

This is my first new Spiff video and what a treat!

I'm pretty sure the devs have said that every tower is powered by a monkey, so there are monkies inside the tack shooter, spike factory, etc., therefore the run is canonically invalid

The lack of PermaSpikes hurts my soul. Absolutely great upgrade. And Tack Zone is easily my favorite Tack Shooter upgrade

There are a couple of spots to the left and right of where you placed your Bomb Shooter that could have possibly hosted more Bomb Shooters (0/4/2). They're really effective against any of the larger Bloons.

Im glad you mentioned the quantum entanglement bug, it's already been patched for a while, sadly. But it was a good bug

Playing on the map where its actually an accomplishment if you can lose while placeing towers

After watching this I decided to try just try one tack shooter in the middle, and two spike factories on each side. I beat easy/medium/hard mode with just those 3. I highly recommend going through the top rows of each tower.

Me and my son just used this method and got to round 103. He was very pleased with that! And surprised it worked so well!

I managed to get to round 140, same map. If I farmed harder I could of got super mines but I was happy with this result, can't wait for any of these non monkey towers to get their own paragons!

Sounds like Sipho could be your cup of tea If you get the Budling, there may be a way to break it

Nicely done ^-^ Another grand strategy is to employ an inferno ring and primary expertise (tack shooter top path, monkey village top path) it is especially effected on the balance map (the one in the video). However this is bit expensive.

One of my favorite TD games of all time. This one and Gemcraft, that one got lost to the flash purge unfortunately

Did it on CHIMPS mode. Using only one of each tower. *slurps iced coffee aggressively*

I think you undervalued the village, as that those buffs can be pretty great, I'll try this out myself and see how it goes. Edit: alright after a bit of trail and error I got to round 99 mainly using the middle path tack shooter, top path village, a couple cannons, then abusing middle path spike factory ability, the tack shooter and spike factory abilities had an almost 100% uptime but I couldn't manage the armoured DDTs, could probably optimise it further tho. Edit 2: tried again with a 502 tack shooter, 520 spike factory, and 520 village and that got me past 139

You might want to check out Rogue Tower, a tower defense game where the track is procedurally generated and has all kind of shenanigans you'd expect from a TD game.

I've unintentionally done this on several maps. When you go through a hundred odd builds playing this game, sometimes you just do a map without monkeys.

i love the game diversity and excitement on this channel! its inspiring. keep up the great commentaries

Wow this is the first time I have ever seen Spiff actually lose in a game that I can remember just goes to show that this game is pretty balanced ironically

You're voice is so crisp and clean watching your videos on 1.25 playback speed flows so well. Faster I watch the more I can watch ❤

This is one of my favorite Tower defense games. The fact you found a way to play it without deploying any monkeys, is astounding, to someone who's never heard of you or your Channel before. Before everyone else, this is a standard broken route of finding not "exploits" in a game. Way To Go spiffing Brit.😂🎉

Spiff playing BTD6. Never expected this to happen, but I approve of this video.

Overdrive on tack factor sends a wave of tacks thru the whole map for those who question if it's good yes it's quite strong. As for the heros ben can screw up your econ and power if you use him to often and at the wrong time so keep that in mind. A recommendation if using tack shooters top path third upgrade is a cheap but effective way to handle leads.

I read the tittle and i emediatly rememmbered my Spike Factory only play threws. :D I knew where you were going FOR ONCE before the video.

I was expecting a way to get to rounds 10³+ easily, but the challenge playthrough was fun too! Spike tower has always been my favorite, and I kinda want to try this in BTD5 now. (I have no money, and I have put money into BTD5 before)

Played a lot of bloons TD 5 in high school. I picked up 6 two weeks ago and I have been hooked. It feels good to play this series again after nearly a decade. EDIT: I really like how much player expression this game has. The fact your strategy is viable is hilarious and shows how diverse and unique your play style can be. I love the Elite Defender Sniper monkey. Easily my favorite tier 5 just for how effective and silly it is in concept.

I love how he is so unconfident in his defense even tho the overdrive alone could handle any non-lead or non-camo bloon

Both the Tack Zone and Inferno Ring are fantastic late game towers. And the shred bosses

Beaten by the DDT's, yup I feel that. I have 1168 hours in this game so far and you making a video on it does not help stopping my addiction. Thanks!

Id love to see you find and exploit bugs in Space Engineers. Its a perfectly balanced game with zero exploits.

As an American, I am so glad you informed me that that was sarcasm because us Americans don't use it often and have a hard time picking it up when used. Great video again.

I have the iOS version of BTD5 and a "Challenge Monkey" event was going they day this video dropped. The only towers that could be used whilst that challenge was going, quite coincidentally, were Bombs and Spike Factory

I always try maps out with spike factories only. It's very fun

This challenge has already been done! Even still, great video and great job!

Is this the equivalent of drone warfare in Bloons?

it's funny to see you struggling to round 90 meanwhile just a perma spike could last way longer alone X)

Monkey village upgrade for camo and speed would help you alot. Tack sprayer upgrade ring of fire is also insane for the DPS you lacked. Benjamin earlier rather than later is helpful don't forsake him for a single farm

Just watching Spiff play a silly game he seems to like is a joy.

Got to 103, could’ve went further but they were too fast for me. If you focus on bottom path marketplaces and eventually get a monkey Wall Street, it gives you an extra 4k at the end of every round. Allowed me to save up for a top and middle path tack and a middle path spike tower. All tier 5s. I also used a top path spike tower to get me through the middle game. Only got to tier 4 for that. Ended up losing cause I was saving too hard for the tier 5 super mines.

I love this game, but I can't help but stare as the bananas from the banana farm slowly rot away as he explains another part and a part of my soul drains away

230 Monkey village and 205 Tack shooter would have done the job wonderfully I think! We need more strats without any monkeys, so we can commit war crimes without monkeys xD

Anytime the Almighty Spiff, names a video with a question the immediate response my brain doles out is “IDK but I guarantee spiff will show me how”

One of the best things about this game is that things actually are perfectly balanced; there aren't usually any broken strategies. It's just how you play and think that affects the gameplay. I love it.

As an American, I greatly appreciate the sarcasm disclaimer as I can never spot it without a helping hand from a friendly Brit.

the middle path for the banana farms could have been very strong, since it creates a bank that gives you interest every round

Perfectly balanced

He specified monkeys not towers so that's an easy yes

This is just absolutely wonderful

Tried the challenge, made it to round 152. pretty fun and simple challenge

Seems spiff just found out the wonderous fact me and a friend discovered back in BTD4, Spikes are OP We were having fun seeing just how powerful each tower was, via specific towers only runs, and came to the conclusion that super monkey and spike factories are the two strongest towers in BTD4. I've played each iteration of the games from then on to see how true such words stand still, and well, witness here folks, That's all you need

waiting for BTD6 without balloons

Regarding new games: Severed Steel is a fun little parkour shooter which allows you to experiment a lot. Like with a modifier that the floor is literally lava and hurts you when you touch it. So you have to move around the walls a lot. Or you could modify the game to have moon gravity. Or that all enemies are invisible. All for getting XP to unlock starting weapons and new armcanons. To get around the chaos that is the game you have the ability to slow down time. This takes energy/stamina which you can refuel by killing enemies. I found it in my library one day and decided to just play it and it's really really fun. It really has great gameplay.

"Ah Yes, not a monkey in sight" lol there are so many things to be taken out of context
