Questions from the comments:
Were there any discussions about removing the RNG aspects of BTD6? What were the conclusions? Would fun from the game hurt if randomness was gone?
We’ve never really discussed removing RNG from the game as some of the best parts of the game can be brought on from getting a good RNG moment!
While co-op is all fun and games, I'd like to see a more direct form of competitive gaming in BTD6. Maybe not necessary a Battles mode, but something similar where players can directly hinder each others proges. Any chances of this becoming a reality (relatively) soon?
We don’t have anything planned right now! That was the itch that races were meant to scratch, but we appreciate the feedback. We are thinking about other social play elements for next year - not necessarily competitive and no promises, but keep the feedback coming.
Hello, I heard that Fortress Destroyer will disappear in 2021. What will happen with Tower Keepers in 2021? It is not in archive. And what will happen with the guilds and the leaderboards? Thanks :)
Tower Keepers wasn’t made in Flash, which is why it's not compatible with the Archive, so it should still be playable on the site!
when did quincy have a crush on gwendolin
What?! No. PFTTT, he doesn’t have a crush.
What do Adora and Ezil think about each other?
They enjoy each other's company.
How do the rocks in Infernal float? What if the monkeys fall off?
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Magic *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
i dont know why im asking this but if i put the heores in an among us game, how much tension will build up?
Gwen sus.
When Flash dies, will I still be able to play BTD5 flash with my Ninjakiwi account?
Yes! You will be able to through the Ninja Kiwi Archive.
Why is the ice monkey considered a primary tower in BTD6?
Ice Monkey is about as classic as it gets. Does ballroom dancing and everything. Doesn’t get more primary than that.
Where do I find people who will play BMC Flash with me?
The Ninja Kiwi discord is a great place to meet awesome people who play our games. www.discord.gg/NinjaKiwi
Why isn't Striker Jones buffing the x-3-x buccaneers?
Different branches of service.
How will your flash games work on flashpoint? Also, how will this blog function after flash shuts down?
Our flash games work on Steam within the Ninja Kiwi Archive, we don’t officially support the flashpoint project. The blog will continue, don’t worry! We may move to the Ninja Kiwi Reddit, which you can find here, at some point.
What's your favorite/least favorite map?
I really don’t like Chutes and my favourite is probably Frozen Over at the moment - Sav
Spillway and Encrypted are my favourites right now. I don’t really have a least favourite. - Tarn
Do the monkeys ever take a break from popping bloons?
All the time! Monkey R&R is robust.
is it okay to ship ezili and etienne
You can ship whatever you want, as long as you aren’t hurting anyone!
How long does the drone's battery stay charged?
One banana cycle.
How come Benjamin is the only hero that doesn't use the item they have in their main art? In the art, Benjamin is using a folding phone looking device, and when placed ingame, he uses a laptop.
There are times when you’re on the go that a mobile device can do the trick, but when you need to get serious it’s best to switch to something with more processing power.
if bloons cant be seen with camo print on them does this mean non camo detecting towers cant see the sniper monkey's hat
Shhhh, don’t tell them.
What makes a good daily challenge? More specifically, what factors do you consider when looking through submitted challenges to pick one as the daily?
We try to pick DC’s that everyone will be able to play and enjoy! We leave the very challenging ones for advanced challenges or Friday stingers.
what kind of monkeys are each heroes
Primary: Quincy and Pat
Military: Striker, Churchill and Brickell
Magic: Gwen, Obyn, Ezili and Adora
Support: Benjamin and Etienne
What's the cutest 0-0-0 monkey in your opinion?
Wizard!
Which hero took the longest to develop? Which one was the hardest?
Pat’s amphibious nature certainly was a challenge. Etienne took a chunk of new work, too.
Darts or Boomerangs?
Darts
Endless adventure may be on hold, but when are we getting endless adventure 2?
We love the idea of Endless but we didn’t get it right. Those ideas we’ll use somewhere - some great tech and design there for sure!
Is there a plan to add Special Missions to BTD6?
Not at the moment! We loved making Special Missions for BTD5 but they were too much work for one-off missions; anything we do there would be replayable or dynamic. Thanks for spurring our thoughts!
will the avatar of wrath ever chill out like the ice monkey (except for the top path)
Probably not with all that anger.
is btd battles the best game engine
Battles has delivered a gigabananaton of games over the years, but we’re always trying to push both design and tech, so there’s really no such thing as best. Each game needs to have the best tech for its specific design at launch, and then we keep trying to improve from there.
Have a Happy Halloween and happy gaming!
- Sav and Tarn
What is the Dart Monkey's Up+B?
I log into Ninja Kiwi with a Google account to play BMC and other games. I know that you are supposed to use a Ninja Kiwi account to log into the archive, but I do not know if it includes Google ones. If not, could you consider changing that?
[deleted-MTI1MDY2MTg=]
Could you give us the option to modify bloon ranks like some of BTD5's challenges? To be clear I'm not asking for custom rounds, just, for example, the ability to turn Zebras into Leads or Pinks into Purples.
@mytest same here
Has the Total Transformation Alchemist accidentally got a monkey stuck in monster form?
Do the monkeys ever feel jealous of more powerful monkeys?
Can we BTD Battles players expect balance changes before 2021?
[deleted-MTE2MDM5MzQ=]
Are there any plans to give more towers diverse functions with their crosspathing? i.e. Ninja, Druid etc.
