Bloons (series)

The Bloons series is a series of puzzle games created by Ninja Kiwi, starting from 2007. The first in the series was titled Bloons. Players control a Dart Monkey with a limited number of darts, and must pop a certain number of bloons in order to pass. Bloons 2 was released later during the Bloons TD 4 generation. Bloons Pop! is the latest of these series, taking inspiration from both the old games and modern mobile games, plus some elements of the Bloons Tower Defense series.

All of these games were the inspiration for the Bloons Tower Defense series, soon to become a worldwide popular franchise.
