==Differences between Versions==

===Differences from ~~the Flash version~~===

===Differences from ''Even More Bloons''===

*Different control scheme, instead of the power of a throw oscillating over time when holding the left mouse, power is instead adjustable with the up and down buttons.

**Unlike both the Flash and iOS versions, players can maintain the angle and charge of a throw without throwing a dart.

*Another dart can be thrown even when another dart still exists.

*Offline level editor built into the game, letting the player create 20 custom levels.

*Unlimited Darts cannot progress the player onto the next level, so the next level can only be accessed by beating the previous level without using Unlimited Darts.
