Balloon Monkey Games - The site where you can play all the games that feature monkeys and balloons

The first game to feature both balloons and monkeys in a game was brought out in April 2007 to an instant addictive response from the flash gaming comminity. This balloon monkey game is simple in nature, it takes a random animal - a monkey, a set of darts and floating colourful balloons and asks you to pop a certain percentage to complete the game. The idea although very random proved the best concoction the flash games market has ever seen.

All the monkey balloons games now hold that concept in mind and some have even branched off into other puzzle and defence games such a tower defence series and a pop 3 game.

The balloon monkey tower defence series by Ninjakiwi is well worthy a mention, especially monkey td 3 and monkey td 4 with both games being received extremely well in the casual gaming crowd. Monkey tower defence 3 proved a huge hit and even today rivals the original balloon monkey game.

Here fans get to build defence towers around a track in an attempt to stop balloons floating past the track and costing the player lives. Again a fairly simple concept but not an original one that deviates from the first monkey balloon game's path.

Monkey tower defence 3 (proper name Bloons Tower Defence 3) was born through an already popular casual gaming brand developed by Ninjakiwi. With Bloons being so popular it gave Ninjakiwi a platform to develop a sub set of games with the credibility of the Bloons brand. This guaranteed the games at least a reasonable level of success.

When the first of the TD monkey games was released fans of Bloons games went wild. When you look at the original Bloons tower defence game today, you will hardly be in awe of its design and engaging game play. However the Bloons brand almost dictated that fans should love this game not for what it is but what it belongs to.

This powerful brand popularity allowed Ninjakiwi to build upon the success of the first monkey defence game to bring out a second version which was a glorified extension at most. Having taken the loop warm reception of the second game on board the Ninjakiwi tea worked even harder to come up with the monkey defence 3 game. This time they hit the nail on the head. Not one of the big flash gaming sites failed to give Ninjakiwi above 80% for the game with many sites granting a mark above 90% for the 3rd in the tower defence series.

It was easy to see why. With the introduction of a huge tower defence selection, some elaborate upgrades and very tricky levels how monkey games defence 3 really did come at the commnity with all guns blazing.

The growth of the first balloon monkey game

What helped the first monkey balloon game grow so rapidly was Ninjakiwi's decision to release a webmaster version through a popular flash game publisher platform known as Mochi Ad's.

Here flash game developers can insert a preloading advert into their game so when fans play the game they see the advert and sometimes will click on them. Ad impressions and ad clicks would then make additional money for flash game developers, publishers and Mochi Ad's.

Mochi Ad's offer all these games to flash portals and websites for free, so these webmasters can download the games and publish them to their visitors such as we have done here. Having joined this program Ninjakiwi allowed their first of the Bloons monkey game to become available to other sites through Mochi Ad's which meant Bloons was soon being published and played on 100's of big sites throughout the internet, a wise move that also saw the rapid growth of Miniclip!

Soon more monkey balloon games followed with:

  • 5 balloon player packs
  • More balloons and even more balloons
  • An insanity pack
  • A pop 3 game
  • A hot air balloon game
  • 4 monkey tower defence games and 1 expansion to date
  • A balloons junior pack

All of which have now been shared via Mochi Media.

Monkey games by Ninjakiwi have now even been bought to the iPhone via the iTunes website with over 150 levels to play!
