'''''Bloons''''' is a title shared by multiple games in the {{series|Bloons}}. This includes the {{flash version of|Bloons}}, a browser game developed by [[Ninja Kiwi]] in 2007; the {{IOS version of|Bloons}}, a mobile game based on ''[[Even More Bloons]]'' developed by [[Ninja Kiwi Europe|Digital Goldfish]] and released in 2009; and the {{console version of|Bloons}}, a game for the Wii, Nintendo DSi, and PlayStation Portable developed by [[Bloober Team]] and released in 2009–2010. The Flash version is the first game of the [[Bloons (franchise)|''Bloons'' franchise]] as a whole and has multiple expansion packs released as standalone browser games, including ''[[More Bloons]]'', the ''[[Bloons Player Pack (disambiguation)|Bloons Player Pack]]'' sub-series, and ''[[Bloons Junior]]''. The iOS version also has free demo versions that come with levels repurposed from the Flash games. These games are the first games of the {{series|Bloons}} and established the [[monkey]]s and [[bloon]]s. The ''[[Bloons 2]]'' games succeeded ''Bloons'' in 2010.

== Gameplay ==

==Gameplay==

~~The~~ player controls a monkey that can ~~aim~~ darts in any direction~~, and the speed and angle of the darts can be controlled~~. Each ~~level must be beaten within~~ a certain ~~amount of darts, unless Unlimited Darts mode is turned on~~. There are ~~several different types of Bloons~~ that ~~each have unique effects~~.

In all versions of ''Bloons'', the player controls a [[Dart Monkey|monkey]] that can throw darts in any direction. The goal is to pop enough [[Bloon]]s to complete each level. Each Bloon type has a unique effect when popped. Popping certain Bloons gives the monkey an extra shot; it can only hold one extra shot at a time. There are also [[Block]]s that serve as obstacles and do not count towards level completion.

~~== Bloon Types ==~~

In the Flash games, the player aims with the mouse and charges their shot by holding down the left mouse button, which determines the shot's velocity and distance. In the mobile games, the player drags on the screen away from the monkey to determine the angle and strength of the shot. Starting in ''[[Even More Bloons]]'', the player can throw shots without waiting for the previous shot to expire.

~~{{Incomplete}}~~

* Regular Bloons ~~come~~ in ~~4 different colors~~ and ~~take 1 dart~~ to ~~pop~~.

===Bloon types===

* [[~~Ice~~ Bloon|~~Ice~~ Bloons]] ~~freeze bloons in~~ a ~~small area around them when popped~~. ~~Frozen~~ Bloons ~~cannot be popped~~, and ~~darts~~ bounce off them.

{|class="wikitable center-col-1"

* [[~~Tack~~ Bloon|~~Tack Bloons~~]] ~~shoot out tacks in 8 directions~~ when popped that can pop ~~other~~ Bloons.
