Bloons World (also formatted as Bloonsworld!) was a website hosted by Ninja Kiwi where users could create, play and share custom Bloons levels. Having been announced around May 2007,[1] the website was established no later than June 27, 2007[2] and was active from then until its shutdown in mid-September 2014.[3] The URL now redirects to Ninja Kiwi's main website, and attempting to access the website via archived links in the Ninja Kiwi Archive displays a message stating "This feature is no longer available".
The website had around 1.7 million registered accounts[4] and 3.8 million levels[5] at the time of its closure. Of these levels, many were compiled into the Ninja Kiwi-curated Bloons Player Packs, along with level packs from My Ninja Kiwi. Archived game URLs from the Internet Archive still load if played via the Adobe Flash emulator, Ruffle.
In addition to hosting Bloons itself, Bloons World functioned as an auxiliary level editor for the game. The level editor itself has not been archived (as an account was required for access), but it can be presumed to have featured every main mechanic from the game. In addition, there were social features such as accounts, a level rating system, and forums.
