From what I've seen of the people that play this game, I've come to a few conclusions. If you're willing to put up with the extremely lackluster beginning of the game, (and the oversized screen) you will eventually feel okay about it, and possibly grow to like it. As it's more of an idle game - not an RTS - it has received a lot of flak from the Kongregate Community for making people wait for energy and such. The combat system is quite clunky, and if you don't get help from a more experienced player, you'll probably just quit in frustration. Give the game a chance, and maybe you'll be surprised in the end. (For the record, I do not like this game, although I do enjoy the atmosphere of the game's chat rooms and do NOT think it should've been given a challenge)
Let's take the war to the bloons! Or just stop them at oddly located battlefields with oddly designed trenches that the bloons must float through for no particular reason.
