Questions from the comments:
are you ever planning to give btd5 some balance changes because some upgrades such as glaive lord and ray of doom are really underpowered
Not at the moment but I will pass the feedback on to the team!
Why did you release BTD5 on consoles? I'm not complaining, they're cool versions of BTD5!
We wanted to branch out onto other platforms. :)
I could use a pineapple about now…
Good thing I had one handy then!
Will BSM2M ever be ported to Steam? I would love to play it on there!
Probably not at this stage. It would require some work from our teams and they are currently hard at work on other projects.
Will other "dumb" crosspaths be buffed in the future, as to not have a one-track meta? Ex. 4x0 alch, 40x mortar, etc.
We hope one day to have every ‘tier 2 crosspath’ see use-cases when paired with every other path in some way, at least for a certain tier, though there will likely always be a clear meta choice. We would like no choice to feel significantly worse in every possible scenario
what would happen if the bloon master alchemist threw one of it's red bloon potions at monkey?
Probably nothing. We aren’t gonna chance it.
so HOW is top path engineer most underpowered tower? it sure is underpowered but FAR from worst.
This is all community feedback so this is just a general feel that the community has! :)
would you make a tv show based off bloons td
Probably not! Monkeys aren’t great with cameras.
How did the Dart Monkeys and Spike-o-pults merge into one tower in BTD4?
They spike-o-pults trained the dart monkeys and they agreed it was better to work together as a team.
Will you add DDT's to BTD Battles?
Probably not at this stage!
How long has the Caveman Monkey been frozen?
Well, being that close to the surface of what looks to be at least 500mm of ice above him. The region he was found in looks like it was covered in snow but has Trees and flowing water meaning it’s not a desert (which can be cold like Antarctica) and more in line with a Tundra like environment. So according to averages, a Tundra like region gets about 150mm of snow fall per year, which at a 10 to 1 ratio of snow melt to ice formation (in perfect conditions) and about a 50% loss during summer months on average you can calculate the minimum time the monkey has been in the ice.
So according to my math at an average rate of 7.5mm of ice formation a year, he has roughly been in the ice for at minimum 66 and 2/3rds years! Though according to his outfit, which is wildly old fashioned, I reckon it was much longer.
This over explanation to a light hearted question was brought to you by spacemonkey, making things way more complicated than they needed to be since 1993.
Does the event monkey's friend play btd6 co-op when there isn't a co-op daily challenge?
Of course!
Can you add an event involving the UFO Bloons from the BSM series? Maybe add a function like stealing your cash if left unpopped.
Maybe one day! We have a lot of cool things planned before we start looking at other events. :)
What is each hero's favorite tower?
Quincy - Dart monkey
Gwen - Wizard
Striker - Bomb Shooter
Obyn - Druid
Brickell - Buccaneer
Churchill - Mortar Monkey
Ben - Banana Farms
Ezili - Alchemist
Pat - Boomerang
Adora - Super Monkey
Are the monkeys from BTD1 still alive?
In our hearts, always.
how long would it take to teach pat how to play euchre?
A while.
How do the heroes feel seeing two or more of themselves in a Co-op game?
Depends on the hero. Gwen loves that there is more fire and Ben enjoys seeing more of himself!
Have a great weekend everyone!

You know, what with Adora's obsession with stripes and all, it does seem all the less coincidental that Buccaneers and Zebras both debuted in BTD4...
How many pineapples do you have?
