great concept, excellent excution of a game, but like others on here the grind gets in the way of making this rate this game a 5.

You guys should start giving out "impossible endurance badges." Seriously. Ain't nobody got time for that hard badge.

A thoroughly unpleasant grandest. The primary message of the UI is "give us money so you don't actually have to play this".

I'm going to rate it at 2 stars, I enjoyed the gameplay and it was a visual spectacle. I liked the overall design etc, just wanted to see the balance of upgrade pricing/income touched up.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
my cash went negative - the game lagged and i bought an upgrade twice or something - now my cash is stuck on -1$ - and even i make thousands in a game as soon as i access the shop they're reset to -1$
a bit down heartening - I guess I'll have to start over with the blop grind, but where's the reset game button?

Got a bug also, that sometimes occurs: Can't see the game play at all, can see popped counter, menus etc which all function just fine. Different colour screen depending on what stage it happens in. Refresh page fixes it.

while this game is mostly just grinding, you can get through it faster by getting the double monkey at level 15 and 20.
Since basically nothing you do as any effect on those levels, just doubling the fire power is enough.

Ok, I was about to give that game 5 stars because it actually was fun. The greedy system was annoying but more annoying is the fact, that you lose all your researches after refreshing the page. What if you actually spend 35$ on all researches and refresh the page? You lose it all and have to buy it again?! Are you serious NinjaKiwi? Are you serious?

Having my earned cash stored server side means that it magically disappears if I have connection trouble. Playing this game is a case of how badly do I want these badges.

Quickest way to earn the hard badge (takes about 2-3 hours):
1) Do NOT invest in any research. Only purchase the Dart and Laser weapons as outlined below.
2) Area 1-4: Grind it. Acquire Double Shot on Arms and Laser Vision on Core.
3) Area 2-4: Same process. Acquire Triple Shot on Arms and Dual Blast on Core.
4) Areas 3-4 and 3-5. Grind these as well. Simply purchase the additional Spikey Shots for the Arms.
5) You should now be properly equipped to rush through the remainder of the game without any more grind.
Hope this'll help with the numerous complaints to make badge acquisition easier. Happy badge hunting!

if you want to grind somewhat fast with no effort. Level 4 is the best to just sit in the middle of the screen. Average 300 blops. 1 = 160. 2,3 = 90, 5 = 100.

It's an upgrade game where I feel like my goal was to cross the finish line with as few upgrades as possible, and have no interest in spending the next week grinding out pops to get enough money to see what the rest of the upgrades look like, no interest in being ridiculously overpowered. I'm just happy to be done. =/

Not only does it take forever to validate upgrades, because I suspect you're sending requests through your servers, but purchased upgrades disappear from one day to the next. As if the game wasn't grindy enough as it was. I feel really bad for the poor souls who PAID YOU MONEY for upgrades only to watch them disappear. You are not professional. 1/5, moving on.

What the hell, I've started level 3-5 with $2200, lost it with $3500, but after I've pressed replay button I only have $1500. This is just outrageous. Like it is not enough for this game to be grindy as hell and developers to be so greedy, that they want for upgrades sum equeal to some AA titles in steam, but it also have money bugs. Burn in hell, greedy cheapskates.

There are a lot of problems with this game. Yesterday I was playing this game, collected blops and bought upgrades. But today they are gone... except last bought weapons. WHAT THE HELL?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Good God in heaven this is so grindy. Blops are comically undertuned compared to how expensive upgrades -- ALL of the upgrades -- are.

NinjaKiwi, A couple of comments for you: Firstly, level 3-5 decides whether or not you face the boss before all bloons are off-screen. This can allow a player to 'pass' the level without ever facing the boss. Secondly, I'm appalled by the amount of grinding that goes into finishing this game. Make everything cheaper or increase the income rate. Look at all the comments you see, take heed, and stop sending money-grabbing grind-games to Kongregate.

Oh mannn..finally. Some Hard badges you have to really work for..but that one you have to grind like hell for....and then grind for a few more hours. That's a well earned 30 points. I really expected more from you ninja kiwi..you've turned into real money grubbers. 1/5

Why would you put UFO's that take your blops? The blops are annoying enough by themselves. Also there needs to be a new game option. I'm realizing that I want to refund a lot of my blops to pick different upgrades that are more useful. The amount of blops that you need to get some of these upgrades are ridiculous, so a refund option would be kind of nice.

This is a game that requires no skill but a lot of grinding. I don't like this kind of games. I can't see how anyone would pay kreds for upgrades that aren't really worth their price IMO.

The grinding is awful. I did less grinding playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 - Every other bloons game has been so much fun, but this is just bleeh.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If you think the game should be updated to fix the grinding then give the game a low score! (1-2 stars out of 5)
The developers will never pay attention to complaints unless people do this.

A certainly terrible game, not by the game itself, but by the developers. Buttons to buy content are all over the place, on a goddamned flash game for crying out loud. The start screen itself has 3. One of them clearly telling you, not asking you, telling you to buy cash.
This game is an obvious cash in, i hope that ninjakiwi changes its ways,
or goes bankrupt, either way, the world will be better for it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ninjakiwi, this sucks. In addition to the grind which everyone commented on, every modern flash game made by a gaming company now has automatic pause when your mouse pointer goes out of the game area. What does yours do when you move too far down or to the side? Pop you into the upper left corner. Fail, novice programming by people who don't care.

NinjaKiwi is fast becoming the EA of flash games. "our concept isn't dead yet! we can surely still beat a few more bucks out of it"

Okay, stuck at $-1 - Tried to even buy 600 blops with some extra kreds I had sitting around, and that didn't help. Now I'm out 10 kreds, and still at $-1....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Rulltrappskram it was probably from completing the progress bar for kongregate (it's a promotional thing for doing that) because I noticed that I had 10 kreds as well but never spend or buy them either.

Found a bug: every time I start up this game, I lose all upgrade progress. Only the weapons I had on when I stopped are unlocked, and all super monkey research progress is gone.

Breaks new ground in cash grabbing! The mechanics are incredibly immersive - it's like NinjaKiwi is really sitting in your living room with you, asking for money repeatedly!

This game is just plain terrible. The lag, even on the "lower" quality setting, is horrendous on some levels (15 for instance, the moment that first rapidly-spinning glass bloon ring appears, making the level itself virtually impossible). There is no strategy whatsoever (no, you don't need "skill and smarts" to just equip a variety of weapons to counteract immunities and move into the path of bloons to shoot them). The grind for upgrades is atrocious. And other than looking at the creative bloon formations, there is nothing about this game that I would call "fun". Why anyone would pay Kreds for the upgrades, and how the game managed to get rated high enough for badges in the first place, I will never understand.
