Bloons
In Bloons , the player assumes the role of a monkey sitting on a platform in
the clouds attempting to pop as many balloons as possible. The player uses the
touch screen of the iPhone or iPod Touch in order to aim the primate’s throw
and indicate its velocity; letting go of the touch screen throws the dart and
physics takes its course. Each level has a minimum number of balloons that
must be popped before progressing to the next level.
In addition to the standard balloons, various levels have special balloons,
such as a balloon with extra darts, a tack-filled balloon which will pop all
nearby balloons if it is burst, and balloons containing boomerangs (useful for
tricky balloon-popping maneuvers). Different levels also have varying
obstacles which must be overcome as part of the puzzle, such as blocks which
might be destructible with a dart.
