Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bloons is a series of initially Puzzle Games by Ninja Kiwi about monkeys popping B[al]loons that started in Adobe Flash and has since expanded to cover different genres and full commercial games on consoles and computers.The first Bloons game came out in March 2007. It has 50 levels. In each one, you have to pop enough Bloons to proceed to the next level without running out of darts before doing so (unless you have unlimited darts on). It is a formula that has been followed by two direct sequels More Bloons and Even More Bloons, a game for beginners Bloons Junior, five player packs with levels made by the community, and an additional community level pack for masochists only Bloons Insanity.There have been several spin-offs released as well, like the Match-Three Game Bloons Pop Three and the obstacle avoider Hot Air Bloon, as well as games that have their own separate pages.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })After over a billion plays, Bloons 2 took the series to the next level in September 2010. It features 100 levels, an improved artstyle, and new Bloon types. There were two holiday expansion packs, Bloons 2 Spring Fling and Bloons 2 Christmas Pack, with 48 additional levels and 2 bonus levels each.After spending the next decade completely overshadowed by its more successful spin-offs, Bloons Pop! was released in June 2021 and it mixes the mechanics from Bloons with content from the Tower Defense spin-offs, such as the Bloon types up to MOABs being present, and the towers replacing most powerup Bloons.

Unwinnable by Design
 Bloons (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf
comment
Unwinnable by Design: A level can be impossible to complete, for example if you pop Ice Bloons before the other Bloons, which makes those frozen and unpoppable, thus making it impossible to reach the pop quota. If you're playing normally you will run out of darts, but in Unlimited Darts mode you have to restart the level manually.

Gravity Screw: Reverse Gravity Bloons will reverse gravity when popped, causing darts and spike balls to fall up instead of down. This also affects the monkey, which anchors itself to the ground with its tail.

Premium Currency: Bloonstones can be earned in small quantities in special events or by completing challenges, as well as at the end of a level. They're used to buy power-ups and get more monkeys if you're about to lose a level, as well as buy certain decorations for the different areas in the game.

Nintendo Hard: Bloons Insanity. It has some of the most fiendish level design found in the series and requires perfection almost all the time. When even the first level has you do a nearly frame perfect dart throw after another one, you know you're in trouble.

Gimmick Level: Quantum Tunneling gives you 60 darts with which to punch through a huge amount of ceramic blocks, to reach the Bloons hidden within. Whack a Bloon requires precise timing to get the Bloons before they retreat behind cover and pop all 6 with just 5 darts. Most other levels let you take your time.

Chain Lethality Enabler: Of a sort. Winning a level will grant bonuses for future levels, depending on how many you've won in a row — level 1 causes power-up bloons to spawn, level 2 also gives you a free Super Monkey at the start of the level, and level 3 also starts you off with a random Mega Monkey. However, losing a level will cause these bonuses to go away... unless you can pony up the Bloonstones.
