Click of Duty is a series of incremental and tower defense under the Clicker Series created and produced by Mob Productions. The first game was announced in 2017 and was confirmed to feature content similar to that of Call of Duty, and a incremental progression focus. As time went on, with the most recent installment, titled Clicker Defense, that was released in 2023, incorperates tower defense mechanics on top of incremental gameplay. Unlike other incremental games though, COD manages to force players to focus on manual play instead of relying on auto-clicker features, that were only present in the first six entries.
In the latest game, Clicker Defense, players must prevent enemies from swarming their home base by purchasing upgrades using "coins" they earn from clicking a select section of their user interface (UI). Players can continue to buy upgrade "Tiers" to improve survival rate. Clicker Defense was released worldwide on all platforms on June 19, 2023.
Gameplay
The main objective of Bloons TD is to prevent Bloons (in-game name for balloons) from reaching the end of a defined track on a map that consists of one or more entrances and exits for the bloons.[1] The game is a tower defense game and thus the player can choose various types of towers and traps to place around the track in order to defend against the bloons, gaining 1 in-game dollar for every layer of bloon popped.[2][3] If a bloon reaches the end of a path, the player loses lives (or in later games, health); once these are all depleted, the game ends.[4][5] The bloons always follow the map's set path on the track until they either reach the exit(s), are popped, or are moved to an earlier part of the track by a tower's ability.
There are three classes of bloons in the game: regular (unnamed in the game), MOAB-class and Boss-class. As of Bloons TD 6, the regular bloons consist of: red, blue, green, yellow, pink, black, white, lead, zebra, rainbow, purple, and ceramic bloons. MOAB-class bloons are in the shape of a blimp and consist of: the MOAB (Massive Ornary Air Blimp), the BFB (Brutal Flying Behemoth), the DDT (Dark Dirigible Titan), the ZOMG (Zeppelin Of Mighty Gargantuaness), and the BAD (Big Airship of Doom). Tougher variants of most bloon types contain a number of specified weaker ones.[6] In later versions of the game, regular bloons possess sometimes special characteristics such as camo (which most towers cannot detect), regrowth (the ability for the bloons to slowly grow back to their original size), and fortified (which doubles the health of certain bloons), that resist certain tower types.[7] With each level, the intensity of bloon waves proportionately increases.[8]
Towers
Towers are the main defensive utility in the Bloons TD series. Each tower has its own unique purpose, power, and use, with some being powerful against specific bloons but unable to target others effectively.[9] Every tower can be upgraded to increase power and other capabilities by spending the in-game currency, known simply as 'money', which is earned by popping bloons and at the end of each round.[9] In Bloons TD 4 onwards, certain towers such as banana farms can be placed to produce additional money during a round (end of the round in Bloons TD 4).[10]
In later games, there are multiple difficulty levels; for instance, in BTD5, there are four difficulty levels and in Bloons Monkey City there are six. The higher the difficulty the player plays on, the fewer lives they have and the more each tower and upgrade cost. There are also different types of maps rated by difficulty; in general, there are more types of maps in newer games.[11]
