Ugh... since this wiki has become so inactive I'll just rate this myself, even though I'm not an official critic:

Originality: Base tower is obviously nothing to write home about, but your ability to think of different upgrades is simply unreal! I really liked Dart Rain, Electric Dart, The Omega Dart, and Burrowing Darts!

Score: 8/10

Balance:


 * I think Sharp Eyes, Triple Darts, Spiked Ball should be a little bit more expensive while Juggernaut, Dark Rain and Supermonkey Nut should be cheaper (especially Juggernaut, it doesn't sound that much better than the Spiked Ball, being 3 times bigger is just a minor difference, it'd still only pop 30 layers no matter how big it is, and even if it's 3 times more effective that way it still wouldn't worth 3000).


 * Banana Blaster should be more effective. Omega Dart sounds OP even for the price whereas Dark Rain sounds pretty useless, again even for the price.


 * Plus, quite some upgrades are pretty unclear so I can't give a good score.

Score: 6.5/10

Details: Like a certain CM here, you went overboard with stats yet forgot proper descriptions.


 * You didn't state how the cutlasses are different from the normal darts (I reckon attack speed wouldn't be the only difference, no?).


 * I also can't understand what you meant by "If you catch it, the Dart monkey is 15. If not, then it's 50." in the Dart Bounce upgrade.


 * I think the Omega Dart is an ability yet you didn't state it. Plus, does it affect any blimp? Because its balance will change really drastically if it does affect some blimps vs not affecting any blimp.


 * Electric Darts' description is unclear (what do you mean by "For every bloon, the shock gets weaker. It may only pop 1 layer, but it only goes up to 3 layers total."? By "hitting all other bloons" do you mean the bloons that touch the bloon being shot or all the bloons on the screen?)


 * Burrowing Darts could be clearer (in what manner will the darts "pop up above ground"?)


 * The Call of the Wild is unclear: how big and effective is the wave? If that question is not answered then all what's on the conception page is just a cosmetic upgrade.


 * What does "Also, the pop +5 layers total, not at once." in the Supermonkey Nut upgrade means?

Score: 5.5/10

Epicness: Your pool of upgrades conception paved the way for many cool upgrade ideas which you do have, and they greatly enhanced the epicness of a normal Dart Monkey. However, the mediocre polish tarnished the enjoyment and made it seem like a bit of an idea-mess more than a great, properly planned and organized conception.

Score: 6.5/10

Overall Score: 6.9/10 (Good conception, but lots of room for improvement. Keep it up!)
