Balloon Popping Mod Overview

Introduction

• Mod allows popping balloons by clicking on them.
• It includes over 30 upgrades and a 'Paragon' upgrade called Blessed Cursor.

Initial Phase

• Start by buying the clicker to pop balloons.
• Chose 'Balance' for better positioning.
• Clicking is satisfying and should be part of the base game.
• Mod allows popping multiple balloons at once.

First Upgrades

• Options: Icy Clicks and Larger Clicks.
• Larger Clicks pierce through more balloons ($100).
• Continuous Clicks: Hold down mouse without reducing attack rate (not very helpful).
• Freezing Clicks ($300): Freezes and pops balloons.
• Stronger Clicks: More damage, one-shot blue balloons.

Dealing with Leaks

• Struggling with faster balloons (greens, yellows).
• Rapid Clicks: Increase attack speed by 30%.
• Slowing Clicks: Balloons slow down after freezing.
• Intense Ice: Extra damage to frozen balloons.

Advanced Upgrades

• Options: Fire and Ice, Explosive Clicks ($300).
• Powerful Clicks: Pop camo balloons, increased damage.
• Hypersonic Clicks: Faster attack speed, more pierce, more explosion damage.

Mid-Game Strategy

• Explosive Clicks: Effective defense.
• Fire and Ice: Burns and freezes balloons.
• Farm upgrades for better resource management.
• Auto-clicker feature: Hold cursor, automatically click.

Paragon Upgrade

• Blizzard: Increased freeze effect area.
• Dart Sprayer: Shoots darts when clicking on balloons.
• Overpowered upgrades make traditional monkey units less necessary.

Late Game Strategy

• Middle Path: Blizzard, Frostbite ($100,000) for massive damage to frozen balloons.
• Left Path: Nuclear Clicks ($300,000) for massive area damage.
• Buffable Clicker: Allows clicker to be buffed by other units (e.g., Alchemist).

Buffs and Final Upgrades

• Buff from Alchemist's Perma Brew.
• Village buff for increased range.
• Corrosive Clicks: Adds corrosion effect for indefinite damage.
• Automatic Clicks: Cursor auto-clicks on balloons.
• Buffing Aura: Nearby towers gain strong buffs.
• Paragon: Blessed Cursor ($500,000+).

Performance

• Paragon significantly boosts performance, despite initial lag.
• Game performance issues due to high demand on system resources.
• Paragon allows beating very high levels (e.g., round 500).

Conclusion

• Extremely powerful mod that can run into performance issues but provides a different gameplay experience with high-level upgrades and actions controlled through the cursor.
