A clearer setup.
Ready for Windows.
Get the companion, connect your game and start with one specific run.
Make it yours.
Download the current source or clone the repository. Build and run Bloons+ from source with the repository instructions.
Download source ZIP ↓Run from source →Source only · not a ready-to-run installerBEFORE YOU INSTALL
A few things to have ready.
A Windows PC.
The app and installer target Windows. Guest setup needs compatible virtualization and the required Windows features.
Your Steam game.
You need an owned copy of Bloons TD 6. Sign in through Steam inside the guest and complete Steam Guard there.
An internet connection.
Setup downloads dependencies and VM components. System installation steps may request administrator access.
Preview means still improving.
Routes can fail as game balance, map rules and account unlocks change. Boss execution and the complete tower auto-unlock loop are unfinished. Keep useful logs when reporting an issue.

Choose your installation method.
Windows installer
Download BloonsPlusSetup.exe above and run it. It installs the desktop app and its dependencies. Leave VM setup enabled to continue with the guided game setup.
Follow the installation steps →Connect your VM
Already have a Bloons+ VM? Open Settings and continue setup. The app checks existing components and resumes missing steps. Use the VM update button to update its app.
Connection troubleshooting →Run from source
Clone the repository, install the pinned dependencies and launch the desktop app. The repository includes the build instructions.
Source installation →A GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN
Your first run starts here.
Download the installer above, then follow these steps.
START HERE
A clean setup, step by step.
Windows, internet access and an owned Steam copy of BTD6 are required. VM setup needs supported virtualization; system changes may request administrator access.
Check installer releases ↗- 1
Install Bloons+
Run the setup executable and let it complete its dependency steps. Keep the installer log if a step fails.
- 2
Prepare the guest
Open the app’s VM setup flow. Enable the required Windows features if prompted, then finish guest provisioning.
- 3
Sign in through Steam
Inside the VM, sign in to Steam, complete Steam Guard and install BTD6 from your library.
- 4
Check the connection
Reach the BTD6 main menu. Confirm live status in Bloons+ before starting one specific map.
START SMALL
One map. A clear view.
A specific run lets you check the connection, route requirements and live logs before a longer sweep.
Keep control.
Use pause to inspect a run. “Stop after this replay” is useful when you want the current game to finish first.
- 1
Pick the target
Open Automation and choose the map, difficulty and variation you want to run.
- 2
Read the requirements
Inspect the route’s hero and required tower paths. Account reads may be incomplete; do not treat unknown progress as confirmed unlocks.
- 3
Watch the first actions
Check the correct map and mode opened, the hero was selected and the initial towers actually placed.
- 4
Confirm the result
A route finishing its action list is not a clear. Confirm victory and the saved medal before counting it as complete.
WHEN SOMETHING STALLS
Find the failing layer.
Check installation, guest connection, game state and replay logs separately. That makes a useful bug report much easier.
Report a reproducible issue ↗Missing msvcp140 DLLs
Install or repair the Microsoft Visual C++ x64 runtime where replay runs. A host install does not install it in the VM.
SSH permission denied / bridge reconnecting
Check the guest is running and setup has installed the matching SSH identity. Do not publish private keys or passwords in logs.
Progress or activity looks stale
Check the host/guest target and guest app deployment. Pulling new source on the host does not update an installed guest automatically.
A replay stalls or loses
Include map, difficulty, variation, round, app version and surrounding log lines. Placement and upgrade evidence helps distinguish route failure from input failure.
Active development: route availability is not a win guarantee. Full tower auto-unlocking and boss execution are unfinished.
A little less guesswork.
Does the installer include Bloons TD 6?
No. Install your own copy through Steam in the VM. Complete sign-in and Steam Guard in Steam; never share your password or code in an issue.
What if setup stops?
Read the failing step and use its retry or repair action. Check the VM connection before starting a replay. The VM guide explains the host and guest; diagnostics explains what to include in a report.
How do I update?
Install the newer release on your main PC. Finish an active replay before applying the guest update through Settings → Update Bloons+ in VM. Updating source on GitHub does not update an installed copy.
Will every strategy win?
No. Routes depend on game balance, map mechanics and account unlocks. Start with an available route whose requirements you meet. Boss events and Pro remain in development.
