'''''Bloons Pop Three''''' (also written '''''Bloons Pop 3''''') is a [[wp:Tile-matching video game|"match 3" tile-matching puzzle game]] developed by [[Ninja Kiwi]]. The goal of the game is to swap Bloons with adjacent Bloons to create rows or columns of at least three Bloons of the same color.

''Bloons Pop Three'' uses an 8×8 grid of random Bloons that come in seven different colors. The player can click on a Bloon and a second Bloon vertically or horizontally adjacent to it to swap their positions. They can only make a move if it creates one or more matches, by lining up at least three Bloons of the same color vertically or horizontally. After swapping, all matched Bloons pop, triggering any special Bloons' effects and generating points, then all Bloons below them float upwards and new random Bloons spawn from under the board to fill in the gaps.

 

After creating a match, if the final positions of all Bloons create another match, those matched Bloons also pop, starting a combo that adds to a score multiplier and repeats the process. The combo ends once the Bloons reach a final position that does not create a match, which resets the score multiplier and allows the player to make the next move.

The player can spend 200 points for a hint, which automatically selects a Bloon that can be matched.

The game ends when the player clicks the "end game" or "start again" button, or when they can no longer make any valid moves.

*When a match is made, the player earns points depending on the number of Bloons in the match.

*If multiple matches are made simultaneously, they each generate points separately.

**L-shaped and T-shaped matches of the same color are treated as two separate matches, one for each line. For example, a T-shaped match with four orange Bloons vertically and three orange Bloons horizontally generates 150 points for the vertical match and 100 for the horizontal match, for a total of 250 points.

*These scores are all multiplied by a value that starts at 1 and doubles each time a step is added to the combo (2× on step 2, 4× on step 3, 8× on step 4, 16× on step 5, and capped at 32× on steps 6+).

<blockquote>Left mouse click to select. Bloons must be next to each other to move…</blockquote>

<blockquote>A highly addictive Match Three game with a bloons theme.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Score by getting three of the same colour in a row. Click any two adjacent pieces to swap them. The the swap results in a match, you will get points.</blockquote>

<blockquote>We always had a blast with ol' match three back in the day and the thought struck us that it'd be awesome to have even bigger combos using the special bloons from our bloons games. Not supposed to be a big brain teaser, just a bunch of bloon poppin' fun.</blockquote>
