Spaceship Monkey

“Attacks the Bloons from space! Slower than the Heli Pilot, but has much better weaponry.”

— In-game description

The Spaceship Monkey is a tower in Bloons Golden Defense and Thermoxin's Bloons Tower Defense 7.

Technical

This Military type tower costs $1750 on Medium and can be moved by tapping on the screen but at only 0.75x the speed of an unupgraded Heli Pilot. It attacks using 2 lasers, each popping 2 layers per hit, damaging 3 Bloons at a time, and having a 1.2 second cool down. Each laser can target Bloons individually and has the range of an unupgraded Dart Monkey’s.

Appearance

Essentially a monkey with a spacesuit in a metallic grey UFO, the launch pad looks like a circular light grey metal plate with a hollow yellow circle and letter B inside which flash white occasionally. The spaceship’s underside creates light blue ring particles which float down from the spaceship, eventually disappearing.
