''Bloons Blast'' has the same basics established in previous ''Bloons'' games: the player controls a monkey that must pop [[Bloon]]s with a limited amount of darts. This monkey can aim darts in any direction, and  darts can be thrown with more power, letting them travel faster and further. Outside of this, the game played very differently from other ''Bloons'' games. Instead of completing levels in a linear fashion, players instead play through a series of randomly assigned levels on a time limit ranging from one to four minutes depending on various factors, with the goal of achieving the highest score possible.<ref name=scott>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403044604/http://ninjakiwi.com/Forum/showthread.php/33-am-i-the-only-one-where-the-game-doesn-t-save|archive timestamp=Tue, 03 Apr 2012 04:46:04 GMT|title=NK Scott's forum reply about saving}}</ref><ref name=htp>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403045641/http://ninjakiwi.com/Forum/showthread.php/36-How-To-Play|archive timestamp=Thu, 03 Feb 2011 00:04:13 GMT|title=Official How to Play from Ninja Kiwi}}</ref> After running out of darts or popping all the bloons, the player will load another level, although their points will not be counted if they miss the pop count.<ref name=htp/>

By throwing darts rapidly and popping darts with each throw, the player gradually builds up combo multipliers that increase the amount of score earned by popping bloons. When the timer runs out, the player will get their Last Blast!, where they have five seconds to throw a Blast Dart, a dart that creates an explosion that can even destroy impassable blocks. After the Last Blast is thrown, the score is given for that round, and the player receives experience and coins.<ref name=htp/>
