Bloons Blitz is an upcoming bullet heaven game in the Bloons franchise developed by Ninja Kiwi Europe. It is the third roguelike experience in the franchise, following the Rogue Legends DLC in Bloons TD 6 and the Striker's Adventure campaign in Bloons Card Storm. In this game, the player takes control of a Hero fighting against waves of Bloons that are constantly approaching from every direction. The player can collect experience to increase the Hero's level and unlock upgrades and Monkeys to add to their team. It is free to play, with in-app purchases and advertisements.

In the game's plot, Quincy receives a campervan from Quincy Senior for his birthday, which he uses to travel the world. The player uses this campervan to travel between levels and to their campsite. While Quincy is the first Hero the player unlocks, they can play as other Heroes.

On 19 May 2026, the game soft-launched in early access exclusively in the Philippines. This build is considered version 0.7 and is missing several features that will be in the finished game. The game will become available in more regions over time.

Gameplay

Bloons Blitz is played in portrait orientation. During a run, the player controls a Hero by moving them around the map with a virtual control stick. The Hero automatically attacks nearby enemy Bloons, damaging them and pushing them back. The player can also find Encounters on the map, which they can activate with their Hero to gain temporary power-ups. Popping Bloons and finding Encounters spawns experience collectibles, which the Hero can pick up to increase the player's level in the run. Each time the player levels up, they can choose an upgrade, which can be a buff to their Hero, a new Monkey for their team, or a buff for an existing Monkey. The additional Monkeys also attack Bloons and follow the Hero automatically.

During a run, the enemy Bloons randomly spawn around the Hero and constantly swarm them from all directions. The Hero loses one health and briefly gains invincibility when a Bloon touches them. The number and strength of Bloons increases over the duration of the run. There are also formations of Bloons in various shapes and sizes that have unique movement patterns, some of which chase the Hero, while others travel in a straight line and try to intercept them (telegraphed by red arrows on the ground). Periodically, a horde of Bloons with increased health appears from one direction, signaled by a warning message. Bloons can have Bloon Mods that grant them additional properties. Additionally, most levels have two Boss Bloon fights, with the second boss having more health and stronger Bloon spawns. During a boss fight, the boss traps the player in a small arena and the player must destroy the boss to progress. Bosses have multiple health bars (represented by the number of skulls) and attack patterns that involve summoning Bloons. Regular Bloons stop spawning during boss fights (excluding Bloons spawned by the boss), and all existing regular Bloons disappear when the boss spawns in.

Starting a run costs 5 Energy. Each run takes place on an infinitely large and procedurally-generated map, with the Hero starting in an open area with a few Bloons and XP drops nearby. An event timer triggers checkpoints and Hordes at specific intervals during a run. The event timer pauses during boss fights, but the overall run time does not. The player wins the run if they defeat the last boss of the level, or loses if their Hero runs out of health. The game records the player's best time in each level.

There are a total of 50 levels in the game, distributed across eight areas and three level themes (grasslands, desert, and snow). The level theme determines the odds of different Encounters and the formations the Bloons can appear in. Levels also have different times of day and weather conditions, which are purely aesthetic. Completing the normal version of a level unlocks the next one in sequence (except on the last level). Each level has five versions: the normal version, two challenge versions that increase the difficulty, and two mutator versions that change the game rules. The Hard Challenge and first mutator unlock by completing the normal version, the Very Hard Challenge unlocks by completing the Hard Challenge, and the second mutator unlocks by completing the first mutator.

Playing a run earns Gold and Monkey XP, and additional rewards for completing checkpoints for the first time. Between runs, the player can use Gold, toys, stickers, and Bloonstones to unlock meta-progression. The player can use toys to permanently upgrade Heroes, Gold to permanently upgrade non-Hero Monkeys, stickers to customize stats, and Bloonstones to purchase various items. The player primarily earns these by completing levels or purchasing them from the shop.

Heroes and Monkeys

Main articles: Hero (Bloons Blitz), Monkey (Bloons Blitz)

Monkeys are the game's playable characters. The player controls the Hero directly, while the non-Hero Monkeys follow them around automatically. Non-Hero Monkeys do not have health and Bloons cannot hit them. Each Monkey has a unique method of attacking and unique upgrades. The player can add Monkeys to their team during a run by choosing them as upgrades; once added to the team, their upgrades start appearing whenever the player levels up. Non-Hero Monkeys come in three categories: Primary, Military, and Magic.

The player can unlock new Monkeys and level them up outside of a run. Unlike the in-run levels that unlock upgrades, these level-ups persist across the entire game. Leveling Monkeys up unlocks higher-tier upgrades, permanent stat buffs, stronger versions of their upgrades, and, for Heroes only, more sticker spaces. To level Heroes up, the player needs to collect certain toys from Blitz Boxes. To level regular Monkeys up, the player has to use them in runs to earn Monkey XP for them, then they can spend Gold to unlock their next level once they have enough.

When the player levels up, the game draws three random upgrades or Monkeys of the ones available at that moment, but the player can only choose one per level. The player can also spend Bloonstones or Tokens to banish an upgrade, reroll their current upgrades, or pin an upgrade so it is guaranteed to appear again on the next level. Selecting an upgrade also pushes Bloons away from the Hero in a large radius. The player can only choose up to ten upgrades for a Hero per run. The player can add up to three other Monkeys to their team per run, and each of those Monkeys can only have up to five upgrades per run.

Every Monkey has 19 upgrades in total. The 18 regular upgrades are split into three upgrade paths and four upgrade tiers; each path has one tier 1 and tier 3 upgrade and two tier 2 and tier 4 upgrades. Additionally, every Hero has a secret upgrade (indicated by a star-shaped frame behind the icon) that may appear after choosing two specific prerequisite upgrades for the Hero during a run, and regular Monkeys each have an upgrade that grants them 30 extra Monkey XP, which only appears in situations where there are no other upgrades the game can draw instead (such as when all the Monkeys' upgrade slots are full).

Stickers

Main article: Sticker

Stickers are items the player can equip outside of a run to apply passive buffs during a run, such as increasing the Hero's attack speed or experience earned when a Military Monkey is on the team. The player equips stickers by placing them on a grid, and they come in different shapes and sizes. The player can merge duplicate stickers to increase their effects, and they have higher-rarity variants that come with additional effects.

Checkpoints

Each run is divided into four checkpoints (two on level 1 of Monkey Meadow). The second and fourth checkpoints are boss fights (indicated by a skull on the run progress bar), which do not count as cleared until after the player defeats the boss. Clearing checkpoints grants the player rewards, including Bloonstones, Sticker Packs, Blitz Boxes, and additional Gold (even if they lose the run afterwards). Replaying a level does not earn rewards from checkpoints the player previously completed. Levels 1, 2, and 3 of Monkey Meadow have slightly different rewards: Level 1 gives the player a Blitz Box for the second checkpoint instead of a Sticker Pack, and levels 2 and 3 do not reward a Sticker Pack for the second checkpoint.

Some challenge versions of levels swap the second and third checkpoints. Due to a bug stemming from the third checkpoint being assigned a later time interval than checkpoint 2, the game does not properly reward the player for completing these levels.

Checkpoint	Time (seconds)	Rewards
1	90	15 Gold
2	150	25 Gold, Sticker Pack ×1
3	270	35 Gold
4	360	75 Gold, 5 Bloonstones, 5 Energy, Blitz Box ×1

Encounters

Main article: Encounter

Encounters are objects that appear on the map at random locations during a run, which the player can use to activate temporary power-ups. If the Hero is near an Encounter, a trail of blue flames periodically appears and guides the player to its location. The player activates an Encounter by standing near it to fill a gauge for a short time, and can only activate it once. Each Encounter has a different effect.

Ghost Bloons	Ghost Bloons start spawning during the first boss fight and pursue the player. They are invincible, only being destroyed by bosses spawning in, and projectiles travel straight through them. They cause an instant game over if they touch the Hero.
Night Run	Prevents the player from seeing anything on the map outside of a small area around their Hero.

Pre-release

A screenshot of the teaser video

On 7 September 2025, Tim Haywood, the composer of music for most Bloons games, stated that he was going to release a new soundtrack for an unannounced Bloons game in 2025. On 13 November 2025, Modern Times Group released a financial report that confirmed that Ninja Kiwi would release new games in Q1 and Q2 2026. Since Ninja Kiwi was planning to release Zombie Assault: Resurgence in Q2 2026, it implied that the game was planned for Q1 2026 originally.

Ninja Kiwi themselves revealed Bloons Blitz on 19 November 2025, with a short teaser video showing gameplay of a Tack Shooter walking and fighting several Red Bloons and Blue Bloons, describing it as a "new way to pop Bloons". They later revealed the game's name, logo, and premise on 21 November 2025 with a short video of the game's key art and a clip of one of the game's music tracks, a cover of "Street Party". The date the official website launched is unknown, though the domain was registered on 11 November 2025. Ninja Kiwi is releasing a series of YouTube Shorts teasers leading up to the game's release, demonstrating features like the controls, teams, and upgrades.

On 19 May 2026, Ninja Kiwi announced on their Discord server about the opening of r/bloonsblitz, the official subreddit for Bloons Blitz.
