History VideoGame / BubbleTanks

* StandardStatusEffects: Any enemy tank getting hit by the Doomsday Infector will continuously lose health until they die, then explode into ''more'' Doomsday Infectors.

* StandardStatusEffects: Slow (which slows enemies), Poison (which makes an enemy continuously lose health), Confused (makes an enemy move randomly), Weak (enemy takes more damage). Your towers can also get disabled by EMP creeps, which makes them useless for a short while.

* GoLookAtTheDistraction: Decoy Creeps throw a decoy drone that your towers will attack instead of the creep itself.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Averted with the Beam Cannon in Bubble Tanks 3. The attack is an instant hitscan move.

* TowerDefense

* ZergRush: The Swarm Creep, which [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin appears in a large swarm]]. They're pretty weak, but they're also pretty fast.

* FieldPowerEffect: Damage, Range and Fire Rate Boost towers are harmless by themselves and boost the effectiveness of adjacent towers.

* HeavilyArmoredMook:
** Slow Creeps are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin slow]], but they can take a lot of damage before going down. They also cannot be slowed by slow burst towers.
** The Heavy Ghost in ''2'' is like this to the [[AirborneMook Ghost]]. It is about half as fast, but has around twice the health.

* MultipleHealthBars: Cursed creeps turn into a Ghost creep when killed and have to be killed again.

''Bubble Tanks'' is a series of online [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]] games by Hero Interactive. In it, you use a tank made up of bubbles, while shooting enemies and collecting their bubbles they explode into when defeated. The more bubbles you collect, the bigger and stronger your tank becomes.

''Bubble Tanks'' 1 and 2 have you controlling a Bubble Tank. There's also ''Bubble Tanks TowerDefence'' 1 and 2, which are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and ''Bubble Tanks Arena'', which allows you to build your own tanks, both your own and enemies'. ''Bubble Tanks 3'' has the classic gameplay of the original two games plus the features from ''Bubble Tanks Arena''.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: ''3'' has expansion packs which allow you to include ''more'' weaponry, such as railguns, lock-on missiles and such. You gotta buy it, though.

* MightyGlacier:
** Slow Creeps are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin slow]], but they can take a lot of damage before going down. They also cannot be slowed by slow burst towers.
** The Heavy Ghost in ''2'' is like this to the [[AirborneMook Ghost]]. It is about half as fast, but has around twice the health.

* AirborneMook: Not exactly, but Ghost creeps function like these- they use DungeonBypass, acting like the regular flying mooks in most TowerDefense games.
* AllYourPowersCombined: You can merge 4 towers together to form a Mega Tower, which uses the attacks of the towers it was made up of, except souped up. And then there are Mega Mega towers, which are made of 4 Mega Towers.
* AntiAir: Present in this game as "Anti-Ghost" and "Ghost Splash".
* ArtificialStupidity: A lot of this in Tower Defense 1.

* AsteroidsMonster: Splitting creeps. Cursed Creeps will become a ghost when they die.

* {{EMP}}: EMP creeps explode into an EMP on defeat, which will disable all towers in a nearby radius for a few seconds.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Averted with the laser tower, which hits an enemy instantly and does continuous damage.

* GivingUpTheGhost: Literally with Cursed creeps, they turn into a Ghost creep when killed.

* InvisibleMonsters: Stealth creeps do this to you. While your towers are able to see them, they are invisible to the player. They do lose their invisibility for a short period of time when damaged.

* StealthyMook: Stealth Creeps will turn invisible to the player (but not your towers) and will lose their invisibility while damaged.
* StoneWall:
** Slow Creeps are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin slow]], but they can take a lot of damage before going down. They also cannot be slowed by slow burst towers.
** The Heavy Ghost in ''2'' is like this to the [[AirborneMook Ghost]]. It is about half as fast, but has around twice the health.

* BossInMookClothing: ''2'' has Spawn Carriers, Tri-Guardians, [=BFTs=] and ''especially'' the Destroyer. The last of which is tougher than the game's boss.

* CollisionDamage: Averted. Except for Death Field Bubbles.

* ArtificialStupidity: A lot of this in Tower Defense 1.
** You cannot change towers' targeting options in this game; thus, whether or not they attack the biggest threat is completely, and frustratingly, out of your control. This will often lead to enemies slipping right through the exit while towers attack enemies that are only halfway through the track.
** Towers will ALWAYS attack full splitter carriers before picking off the little ones inside. This is great if you have Area Bursts or Splash towers, and ruinously bad if you don't.

* LevelDrain: If you get hit by an enemy, you ''lose'' experience points! Thankfully, should you lose too many in a bubble, the next bubble will have harmless [[PinataEnemy Pinata Enemies]].

%%* MightyGlacier:

%%** The Heavy Ghost in ''2'' is like this to the [[AirborneMook Ghost]]. It is about half as fast, but has around twice the health.

* MakingASplash: See KillItWithWater.

** The Heavy Ghost in ''2'' is like this to the [[AirborneMook Ghost]]. It is about half as fast, but has around twice the health.

* [[GlassCannon Glass]] [[FragileSpeedster Ninja]]: The Ghost Sniper. Least amount of health of all the final evolutions, but it can move extremely fast, become [[IntangibleMan intangible]], and the sniper move it uses hurts like a ton of bricks, does massive splash damage, AND [[OneHitPolykill pierces everything it hits]].

* FragileSpeedster: Fast Creeps are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fast]], but take less damage than normal creeps.
** Bubble Tanks Tower Defence 2 takes it even further with the Dodge creep, which has very low health, but has the ability to, well, dodge bullets entirely!

* GivingUpTheGhost[=/=]WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: Literally with Cursed creeps, they turn into a Ghost creep when killed.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Apocalypse Cannon, which destroys the entire current bubblefield once it hits the edge. Unfortunately, it's got four huge flaws. First, it also destroys any bubbles you might have gotten from the field. Second, by the time the PainfullySlowProjectile finally hits the wall you'll probably have cleared the field already anyway. Third, since it uses the same cooldown timer as all your other secondary weapons, it makes them all unusable too. Fourth, there are enemies with special devices made to neutralize Apocalypse Cannons and render your efforts moot.

* AsteroidsMonster: Life Carriers, which are harmless and will explode into lots of harmless Mooks when defeated. They're [[PinataEnemy there to give the player back bubbles]].

* GivingUpTheGhost: Literally with Cursed creeps, they turn into a Ghost creep when killed.

* PaperRam: The Ghost Sniper. Least amount of health of all the final evolutions, but it can move extremely fast, become [[IntangibleMan intangible]], and the sniper move it uses hurts like a ton of bricks, does massive splash damage, AND [[OneHitPolykill pierces everything it hits]].
