SLACKERJACK - Bloons

Here's Bloons, a game tipped off to us by a reader with the immortal line "Sure, it's your standard throw the fucking thing at the object game, but this one is amazingly well done." And you what? He was kind of right.

Bloons has possibly the best premise of anything we've ever seen - you're a monkey in the sky throwing darts at balloons. And that's it. That's all Bloons asks you to do - throw darts at balloons with your monkey arms. Just that in itself is satisfying enough - like dicking around with bubblewrap on a grand scale - but then Bloons gets fiendish on you. In every level you have a limited number of darts and a set number of balloons to pop, and the levels get tougher and tougher and tougher, with rubber walls, metal blocks and odd little ice balloons to deal with. We can't get past the Bloons level called One In 100, so if you can, be sure to leave a smug little message below.
