bloons-td-5 – Bloons Tower Defense 5 Upgrade Paths Guide

I ended up purchasing the game and it works about as well as I could hope. The game worked perfectly for me until about round 76 when the game slowed down considerably, but this happened in bloons TD 4 as well, so I expected this. The game slowed down to the point of about 1 frame per second, but it never crashed. As a side note, the slowing of the game has been partially addressed with the monkey temple which combines various towers together and nearly restored the game to the normal speed.

The best source I've found is a forum post. Here's the content:
