Bloons World (also formatted as Bloonsworld![1]) was a website hosted by Ninja Kiwi where users could create, play and share custom Bloons levels. The website was established around late 2007 (a few months after the release of Bloons) and was active from then until its shutdown in 2014. The URL now redirects to Ninja Kiwi's main website, and attempting to access the website via archived links in the Ninja Kiwi Archive displays a message stating "This feature is no longer available".
The website had around 1.7 million users[2] and 3.8 million levels[3] at the time of its closure. Of these levels, some survive via the Ninja Kiwi-curated Bloons Player Packs. Archived game URLs from the Internet Archive can be played via the Adobe Flash emulator, Ruffle.
Features
Bloons World functioned as an auxiliary level editor for Bloons. The level editor itself has not been archived (as an account was required for access), but it can be presumed to have featured every main mechanic from the game. In addition, there were social features such as accounts and a level rating system.
