I don't think I've ever actually had a game run that bad before on DSi. I think the main gameplay is really fun like any tower defense game! But holy shit you cannot play this game comfortably after ~round 70. The frames just drop into the single digits, so it's impossible to place your units after a wave has started. You just kinda have to hope nothing bad happens in the meantime. It definitely would've been better if I'd played it on a different platform because I still think that at its core bloons is always some good fun.

There's no pithy statment I could say that would really encapsulate how much I disliked this game

I'm kinda obsessed with the way the game presents itself. All the strange little intricacies of the game that I initally hated lead me to kinda loving it.

Kinda fun in short bursts! Kinda stiff control wise, especially in combat, but you get used to it! Also has a lot of hollow references to a lot of other games and otaku culture if you're into that kinda thing. I think it's kinda cute, personally! My favorite part is definitely the stock cat photos in your dorm room.
It's fun and simple! Would probably be a nice quick party game with friends! The designs are fun, too!
It's so rough I almost wish I left the experience of playing it as a memory. lol

It's super cute! There's not much to do, and doesn't really have much of a difficulty (Though, there is a hard mode in the options if you press the 3 face buttons on the title screen. There's also some nice dolphin facts on that same screen, which I appreciate), but that's fine. It's mostly just a nice playground to just jump around as a cute dolphin, which I appreciate! The story is cute too, and honestly it's just a really pleasant experience all around.

I wish Nemona would stop trying to battle me every 5 seconds.
