Bloons (or Bloons 1) is a single-player browser game (a flash game) about monkeys popping bloons. Many bloons have special powers. You can choose from a set amount of darts in Normal Mode or unlimited darts mode. Unlimited darts will make it easy to win but not give you score so be warned if you want to beat your high score. Bloons 2 was released after "1276 days and 1,063,118,911 plays" of the original Bloons. This was the first Bloons game ever made.

Bloons

They are 7 special bloons in addition to 4 differently coloured regular bloons.

• Regular bloons takes 1 hit to pop, no special abilities.
• Ice Bloon, freezes all bloons around it so the player can not pop the others. This is exactly why some players thought, that the ice tower would not exist in any bloons tower defense game.
• Bomb Bloon, a dart inside a bomb pops it. Bloons around it explode when the bloon is popped.
• Bonus Dart Bloon, adds 1 dart to the player's amount when popped.
• Tack Bloon, shoots out 8 tacks in every direction when popped.
• Triple Shot Bloon, the next shot will have 3 darts.
• Boomerang Bloon, the next shot will have a boomerang.

Blocks

• Metal Block
• Rubber Block
• Tile Block

Trivia

• In the logo, the monkey's darts are yellow, but in-game, they are black.
• The darts will bounce on the Rubber Block for 24 times and will disappear for the 25th bounce.
• Before Even More Bloons, the trough clouds in the levels are red. During and after Even More Bloons, the clouds are white.

Glitches

• A glitch occasionally allows popping Bonus Dart Bloons, Triple Dart Bloon or Boomerang Bloons by making the dart pass through a Metal Block (when the bloon is surrounded by blocks in any side).
• When right-clicking and clicking the "Rewind" button, the game will reset, however, the monkey and the bloons will still be there and you can't pop them, nor use the monkey, but you can only pop bloons and use the monkey of the current level when you are playing a level. Refreshing the page can solve this problem. _{(link to video)}
• This happens on all Bloons Games excluding Bloons Junior. When a Pac-Man Bloon is popped and the player clicks the main menu before it runs out, the Pac-Man will still be there and it can still go anywhere around the main menu before the time runs out. _{(link to video)}
• This happens occasionally in some Bloons World levels. When there are more than 130 Bomb Bloons, only some of them will pop, then they suddenly freeze and then explode. There is no exit from this glitch other than closing your browser. _{(link to video)}
• Sometimes when you beat parallel and then go back to the main menu and then go back to select a level it will say that you haven't beaten parallel same goes for the 10th level of bloons junior.
