Dartling Gun

 * "We’ve been continuing to add extra content to Bloons TD4 for a couple of months now, a couple of really cool new tracks and now an all-new never before seen tower type. The Dartling Gun is unique among towers as it doesn’t target Bloons at all, rather it follow the mouse and sprays darts wherever you point. This opens up some rather special tactical play."
 * — Bloons Tower Defense 4 – All-New Tower People, All-new.
