This game is 32-bit and thus, most devices cannot run it, as the game does not run on iOS 11 and above. Despite this, the game was actually delisted before this became relevant because of the game's holiday theme.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
''Bloons Festive Fun'' follows the puzzle conventions established in previous games: the player controls a monkey that must pop a certain amount of [[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. The game features the same mechanics, obstacles, and bloons as ''Even More Bloons''. Unlike ''Bloons iOS'', this game includes the Chomper Bloon, now reskinned as the Reindeer Bloon, which must be controlled by swiping the screen in the four cardinal directions. This means that unlike [[Bloons (game)|the flash version of ''Bloons'']] and ''[[More Bloons]]'', the monkey can throw darts rapidly, which is a mandatory mechanic for some levels.  
''Bloons Festive Fun'' has the same basic gameplay as the {{iOS version of|Bloons}}: the player controls a Monkey and must pop a certain number of [[Bloon]]s with a limited amount of darts, and the player determines the angle and power of each shot by dragging on the screen away from the Monkey. The game features the same Bloon and [[block]] types as ''[[Even More Bloons]]''. Unlike ''Bloons iOS'', this includes the Chomper Bloon (reskinned as the Reindeer Bloon), which the player controls by swiping the screen in the four cardinal directions.


Every day starting from the 1st of December 2009, each day unlocks a set of 3 levels, with the previous days staying unlocked, culminating in the final set of levels unlocking on the 31st of December 2009 for a total of 31 days and 93 levels. After that day, all levels are permanently unlocked, resulting in anyone playing Bloons Festive Fun now having all levels available without modifying the date. Levels are completed in order, as beating a level unlocks the next level, but the player can start playing through different days without needing full completion of the previous days. Unlike other ''Bloons'' games, there is a Christmas scene, represented by the Monkey's house. Completing each day will add a new decoration to the room, determined by which day the player completes.
Unlike other ''Bloons'' games, the player does not unlock levels in order. On each day, starting from the 1st of December 2009 (according to the system clock on the player's device), the game unlocks a set of three levels. The second and third levels of each set require the player to complete the previous level of that set to unlock, but the player can play through each day in any order. Levels unlocked on previous days remain unlocked permanently; playing with a system clock set to 31 December 2009 or later unlocks all level sets instantly.
 
Unlike other ''Bloons'' games, there is a Christmas scene (represented by the Monkey's house) that the player unlocks decorations for by completing each day (even if the player uses Unlimited Darts to complete the levels), with each day having a unique decoration. The player receives a special "Congratulations!" message for unlocking all 31 decorations.

Bloons Festive Fun is a mobile game in the Bloons series that was first announced on the Ninja Kiwi Blog on 9th of November 2009.[3] It is based on iOS version of Bloons, but has Christmas-themed graphics and audio, different levels, and the Reindeer Bloon (a reskin of the Chomper Bloon from the Flash games). The game was released on December 2009, delisted on January 2010, relisted on December 2010, delisted again on January 2011, and was never made available again.

This game is 32-bit and thus does not run on iOS 11 and above. However, the game was delisted before iOS 11 released.

Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Bloons Festive Fun has the same basic gameplay as the iOS version of Bloons: the player controls a Monkey and must pop a certain number of Bloons with a limited amount of darts, and the player determines the angle and power of each shot by dragging on the screen away from the Monkey. The game features the same Bloon and block types as Even More Bloons. Unlike Bloons iOS, this includes the Chomper Bloon (reskinned as the Reindeer Bloon), which the player controls by swiping the screen in the four cardinal directions.

Unlike other Bloons games, the player does not unlock levels in order. On each day, starting from the 1st of December 2009 (according to the system clock on the player's device), the game unlocks a set of three levels. The second and third levels of each set require the player to complete the previous level of that set to unlock, but the player can play through each day in any order. Levels unlocked on previous days remain unlocked permanently; playing with a system clock set to 31 December 2009 or later unlocks all level sets instantly.

Unlike other Bloons games, there is a Christmas scene (represented by the Monkey's house) that the player unlocks decorations for by completing each day (even if the player uses Unlimited Darts to complete the levels), with each day having a unique decoration. The player receives a special "Congratulations!" message for unlocking all 31 decorations.
