About More Bloons
The opening puzzle in More Bloons is called The Bells, the Bells, and the balloons are laid out in two hanging groups. The monkey throws from a small platform on the left. Before letting the first dart go, follow a possible line through the nearest group and ask where the throw will finish. One balloon is an easy target; several on the same flight path are a better use of a dart.
Ninja Kiwi uses the mouse button for power as well as firing. Aim, hold the left button and then let go. A miss tells you something: perhaps the dart needed more distance, or perhaps the angle was the problem. Keep one of those choices roughly the same while adjusting the other. Otherwise, the next attempt becomes another guess.
Keep reading the numbers below the puzzle. Popped is your progress, Target is the total you need and Darts Left is the number of throws still available. In the illustrated opening stage, the target is 64. If you have popped 34, another 30 are still needed. That sort of quick check helps when deciding whether a small stray group is worth one of the last darts.
How to play More Bloons
Reach the balloon total shown under Target using the darts provided for that puzzle.
- Read the target and the number of darts left. Take a look at the whole balloon arrangement before aiming.
- Move the pointer to choose the dart’s direction from the monkey’s platform.
- Hold the left mouse button to set the strength of the throw. Release when you are ready to send the dart.
- Watch where it goes. For the next shot, make a deliberate adjustment to the aim or the power.
- Compare Popped with Target again before using the remaining darts. Decide which part of the arrangement can supply the balloons you still need.

Tips for a better round
- After a near miss, make a small adjustment. You already have a useful clue about that shot's path.
- Count what is left to do. A few balloons on their own may be enough to reach the target, even if a larger group looks more tempting.
