I think developers should be required to play the game through without purchasing additional content before being allowed to declare games "finished." It'd save us not only from glitches and the like, but also grindfests like this. If it's really a balancing issue, the developer would catch it in that stage.

Only reason I actually take the time to play this game is because of the easy-to-get hard badge (except that it takes so much time). I just put on a level, watch a movie for 5mins, come back and replay the level over and over again to gain more blops. I've popped over a million bloons now and I'm still far from defeating the 3rd boss.

It's pretty clear that this game wasn't created to give players a fun ride. It was created to give the illusion of being a fun game, but so incredibly tedious that people with some spare kreds over would spend them. Even I thought for a second to spend 10 kreds (which I don't know how I've gotten since I've never bought kreds) early in to give me a head start so the grind wouldn't be as long, but I realised that I could give it to a developer that isn't trying to suck kreds out of their players. Would be 4/5 if they made it less grindy, but I can't give it higher than 1/5 without feeling ashamed. Ninjakiwi, I hope you're reading people's comments.

possibly the most boring game ever... not to mention the fact that it actually took blops away from me because it lagged as i finished a level

What could have easily been a 5 becomes a 2. You create a fun top-down that involves the bloons everyone loves, then you make it so it costs a ton of money to get things and make it super grindy so the only real way to get them is pay for them. It was a down right stab in the back to any and all fans of the bloons games. The only saving grace is that it is actually fun, I can only imagine how fun it could have been if you were not so centered on how much money you can extort from fans. A shameful day in video games. 2/5

What crap this game is. It's a neat idea, the concept of popping them and upgrading your monkey, I've always liked all of the bloons games. But this is just pitiful. Seriously pathetic money grabbing losers. Such greed. This is also the only game I've played on this site where the developer or whatnot didn't reply. I don't blame though, what is to be said? "Oh yeah, were pathetic and greedy. " ? What shame! Seriously just ridiculous. Have not Seen ONE GOOD REPLY ABOUT THIS GAME. Grinding takes hours! Hell, thirty minutes it took to gather five hundred blops. Are. You Serious.
Pathetic attempts to rob people of their money, by making a game so ridiculous and time consuming. Seriously Just Ridiclous. If I could rate less than one star, I would, if I could erase such garbage from the internet, I would.

Tsk. The game seems to be zoomed properly on loadup and on play, but the upgrade/mission select screens are super-zoomed in, and the zoom/show all options are removed once the game fully starts.
Wasn't there a workaround for this design flaw in the past? Would anyone mind reminding me? :)

It's a game to make you so irritated with grinding you buy kred. Thanks but I'll donate to devs that don't use the EA playbook.

i never get it why pay to win is always expensive. Im not use Kreds to "win" in a Game, but im wondering how many ppl will pay this kind of prices for a Flash Game.
Btw: i just stay in Level 2.4 and watching youtube videos, wile this Game grind alone

The Game itself is not bad at all, i didn't even mind grinding until i got to Stage 15. Since then every time i pass any stage my cash somehow goes down to -1. it is impossible for me to continue the game. I restarted the game but it didn´t help. I even deleted my savefile and started all over again but as soon as i finished stage 14 i was stuck at -1 cash again...

difficulty scales too quickly. not enough blops per level, or not enough levels per stage or something... and what's with all the shielded enemies in stage anyway? there's no way you have enough blops for the upgrades to pop them. in short, the upgrades are way too expensive. at least make it possible to play without paying for everything. I could understand if you made one type of weapon unlockable via premium access, but not the whole game. at this rate, just tone the upgrade prices down and sell the dang thing on steam or something...

After 6 hours of playing, it is clear that this is pretty much a broken game, unless you pay to play it. Gold and Red blops aren't worth crap, and blue blops are worth a third of those. Wanna add insult to injury? The coin magnet is junk, and you have aliens who steal your blops before you can get them. You also have invisible balloons, which block you from collecting. And to make the game utter junk, it slows down to 3 frames per second, making it take 20 minutes to collect 1,500 blops, when you need 30,000. I wanted to like the game, I really did... 1/5

at first fun, but becomes VERY frustrating with the later levels. You are forced to play through levels counntless times to get upgrades...which some expensive ones are entirely useless. The only reason to continue playing for some time is to get the last achievement. A chore of a game to find any fun in beyond the first 2 hours.

There is a bug where the player gets -1 money or red blobs. Making it impossible to spend on anything. This is the grindiest game i ever played for a flash game. Lowering the grindyness would solve the problem as well as fixing the -1 money issue, i can't have fun if I can't spend. 2/5

The various badges really need to add a bonus to your score. Even just +5% blops each, I'd have some motivation to get them. Right now I'm not going to waste even 100 blops on boomerang weapons for a badge.

Dear Developer, I don't mind you trying to make a buck with purchasable content; however, making your game extra grindy and making the purchasable items to make it less grindy is not the way to endear you to players (in fact it obviously does the opposite). If you are looking for people to spend kreds, may I humbly suggest adding content to purchase such as expansion packs etc? You seem to want to gouge the pocketbooks of the players without adding anything fun in the bargain. For shame.

There's some annoying glitch/thing that happens when you buy an upgrade. The upgrade icon will just sit there spinning for a several minutes and wont give you the upgrade, but will take away the blops.

Since I have a life and things to do, I don’t foresee myself obtaining the hard badge any time in the near future, or ever.

I get INSANE lag around 50% into the third boss fight. Not a single lag anywhere else, and around 1 fps exactly during the second half of that dude. Still can't beat him because of that =(

To keep your monkey in the center of the screen while you're in another window, right click where you want the monkey to be. After that you can click anywhere so long as it's outside the game screen.

This game is somewhat fun, until you get around level 9 or so, (for me at least). I feel like I have to blow hours upon hours trying to get the next level of power-ups to fight against the balloons, to get to the boss of level nine. On level nine, I feel like I have to blow money to get the needed power-ups to just to GET to the boss. I'm all in for upgrade games and all, but this game basically asking me to give it money to get to the next level.
I, as someone who want to make video games for a living, feel like this is just yelling 'give me your money now!' along the lines of EA with their mindset of cutting things from the game to just to put it on sell you what the player/user is meant to have in the first place.

you cant even save up money and buy an upgrade for 3000 straight... i HAVE to buy all the other pieces and HAVE to grind more... this is absurd hahaha

the prices on this are so high, grinding is ridiculously important. We need halfed prices (including the real cash prices if you wouldn't mind removing them entirely)

fully upgraded magic, rockets, and rang type for core barely gets thru the last boss...Guess I have to play about a month to fully upgrade top weapons for this

f this money grab. If your trying to get cash from me then how about you create something that at the very least doesn't lag so much.

So... it won't 'connect,' and when I click 'try again,' it flashes a message on the screen to play at ninjakiwi's site... well, I guess I'll never play this again...

It is beyond me why anyone would rate this game higher than 1/5. It seems the only joy one can achieve from this game is to overpower themselves by buying all possible upgrades with Kreds right after level 1. Ninjakiwi managed to create a series of pay-or-grind crapfests.

Strangely, the game is too big for the screen provided on kong. Can't click on half the things, am now stuck in the kreds screen.

It seems like the ONLY reason this game is grindy is solely to make money off people that want to make it NOT a grind.

Really annoying. Playing until level 15, closing browser and coming back and start level 1!!!!!!!! Thank you NinjaKiwi, never come back playing your games.... If you want to implement a online save system, do it well!
