Welcome to the blog post for February 24th, 2017! The last few weeks have been chockablock with Tower Keepers and all sorts of other fancy stuff happening in the two NK offices. The teams are all hard at work on updates or new games (some announcements soon!) and if you didn't see we're starting to show one of our new IPs, Endless Adventure, here: https://twitter.com/NK_Endless
BTD5 coming out on Xbox One at the start of March!
Tower Keepers global launch is the main talking point from the last couple weeks. If you haven't got it yet make sure you head to the Google Play Store or App Store and grab it now! It's free and an awesome way to spend bus rides, car trips (if you're not driving) or to sneakily play while you're eating dinner. Check it out!
Bloon Drawing Competition!
This week I want some bloon drawings. They can be regular old bloons, MOAB-class or even some fancy new one you've invented yourself. Once you've got your picture, upload it to an image hosting site and post it in a comment below. The winners will be picked by me for next week's blog.
The prize will be a mystery prize for your game of choice.
Please pick from the following:
BTD5, BMC, SAS4 web
Battles, BMC, SAS4, Tower Keepers mobile
Include your mobile User ID if you're wanting a prize for mobile.
One entry per person
Please state the game you want your prize on
Include a forum title request if you're that way inclined
Entries close midday Friday March 3rd (NZT)
Have fun!
Questions from the Comments:
When do you select the questions you answer?
Friday as I'm making the blog post, though I check them during the week to see what I'll be working with.
Is it true that monkeys don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
That sounds made up but I don't know enough about jokes to prove it.
Can you publish an official schedule stating the dates of future Championships in SAS4?
They're not planned out much further than one at a time. Next one looks like it'll be March 1st :)
How can you keep updating BTD5 which is twice the age of SAS4?
The player count and ease of updating are the main factors
Will Ninja Kiwi port BTD5 to the Nintendo Switch?
Too early to say!
If you had to switch monkeys to any kind of other animal, and bloons to any other type of enemy, which would you choose?
Octopuses and shells.
Will we ever see the end of Endless Adventure?
No, but I guess there would be an end-game which is quite funny.
Battles mobile suggestion.
There will for sure be continued changes to towers and game balance. This update was sort of like shuffling the box to see the puzzle pieces from a different angle and we appreciate the time you've all taken giving us feedback :)
Tower Keepers web?
We've just got the game out globally and we're sorting all the new issues we've found. Not sure when we'll have more info about a web version!
Were you expecting the reaction to BTD5 being released on Xbox One (as opposed to the Switch due to the release date)?
In this industry you quickly let go of any sort of expectations about reactions :)
Thanks for stopping by. Get to drawing your bloons, have a great weekend, download Tower Keepers, and I'll see you all next week!

is there going to be an SAS 5?
https://s2.postimg.org/bsom7asy1/Invisibloon.jpg A new bloon mode - Not to be confused with camo. All moab class bloons become Invisibloons. Invisibloons have the properties of their respective moab class (MOAB, BFB or ZOMG), although they operate in stealth. Camo detection can not pick them up. So they are invisible to radar scanners, and mortars can't remove the invisibility factor. 4 towers can only detect them or uncover their position. The Glue Gunner and Engineer with Cleansing Foam can hit the Invisibloon with glue or foam, but won't inflict damage. This will allow other towers to see the Invisibloon. That is until the glue or foam wears off. Finally there will be a reasonable use the glue striker ability. The third tower that can detect them is operation dart storm / ground zero. Both Operation Dart Storm and the Invisibloon use the same technology to operate in stealth mode, so they can detect each other. Dartling Guns with Laser Canon / Depleted Bloontonium Darts or higher can hit them. These are the 4 towers that essentially can cause damage to the Invisibloon. What about the Temple? It will only detect the Invisibloon if the glue gunner is sacrificed. If I win then please give my mystery prize second place to my position, plus the prize they have already won.
https://goo.gl/0F5BIU SAS4 Web INTRODUCING "THE VIPER" Ever wondered what would be the next highest level after the ZOMG? Well what you've seen is the Big Brother Slower than his younger sibling he can take much more of a punch and has some special abilities... Take him out to slow he can spawn Some ZOMG kids...(The two Anchors on the Side) He can at a random time (RNGEsus' Will) Using his tongue he could take a tower (Precious or Worthless) That is the Viper SAS4 Web <---- Toxicroc
Also, can i just ask, not as a noob, but as an experienced SAS player, any thoughts/plans on SAS5?
Tower Keepers is amazing. I personally can't wait for a web version, hopefully with a LOT of AP :D Anyways... Endless Adventure.... I've seen somethings on it, but it seems to not really be my style. I'll still give it a go when it comes out ofc, but what platforms are we looking at here?
The future of bloons seems a bit blur, are you guys ever gonna make a new Bloons game to revive it? The last Bloons game was monkey city and it seems like it didn't really reached it's selling expectation, anyways i'm always hoping the best for your community and my bloons drawing is coming up next. (sorry for bad english Indonesian player here ^-^)
A bloon drawing competition? https://gfycat.com/FaithfulSnarlingAlbatross
do you have any plan of making sas zombie assault 5
Oops, forgot to include game of choice for bloon drawing competition and afraid to use edit since had trouble with that in the past. SAS4
"The Colonel" http://imgur.com/IT40xlP Tired of the monkeys always blowing up their friends, the bloons have devised a devious secret weapon made to seek revenge on all monkey-kind! 'The Colonel' is the first of its kind, and will certainly bring a big bang!
