Questions from the comments:
What are the sizes of the MOAB class bloons, in real measurements, canonically?
Big. Bigger. Even Bigger. Smaller so faster. Really Big.
Not sure if this has been asked before, but have there ever been any thoughts on a map maker?
We have considered it! It was a huge amount of work when we’ve done editors previously, as heaps is going on under the hood. We may revisit at a later date but no plans for it now.
For the next tower to add do you plan on adding the [REDACTED] monkey?
Yep! Right after the [REDACTED] map!
Why does obyn say "The spirits of the forest awaken." There is only one spirit of the forest, because it is a fifth tier tower. Is obyn actually a druid as well? They both have shrubbery that grow on the track, they both have upgrades with the word "wrath" in them, And they both can generate money! So is obyn like an x-5-5 SotF/AoW?
All heroes start as a monkey apprentice or student, if only to their own quest for knowledge and Bloon-free skies
Why can't I play BTD5? It says I'm not logged in(though I am) It only allows me to play as Guest.(ANDI WAS ON RANK 66...)
Our team is aware of the issue with logging in to the games on the website and are working on it!
How are monkey babies made? and what happened to quincys mother?
Well, when a mummy and daddy monkey love each other very much… Ya know, maybe you should ask your parents. Quincy’s mother is very much alive and could happily answer your questions!
How did Quincy get hit by a nefarious DTD? I thought nothing could get past his bow…
Shhh! He’s sensitive about it.
What happened to the btd5 wizard lord, and is it a rival to the archmage?
More like a mentor. Now they get together alternate Thursdays and play cards.
When we pause/close the game, do the monkeys take a break?
The Secret Life of Monkeys, coming to a cinema near you! We actually have no idea but we have to think it’s like that. Or Toy Story or Wreck it Ralph. Hmmm, sensing a pattern.
Does Brickell have a tail? This is for those who are unsure about her.
All monkeys do!
Who exactly are the bloon overlords? Why do they hate the monkeys so much they send bloons against them?
We wish we knew!
Do monkeys dream of bloons when they sleep?
Yep, just like all the NK staff.
How do bloon skins work? Are the bloons really that obliging to dress up in weird costumes?
They see them more as disguises, hoping it’ll allow them to sneak past the monkeys.
How do you all manage to answer so many questions!?
Team work! Work, team! :)
Why is the Bloonchipper not in plans for BTD6? (Besides it being too OP) Why can't you just degrade it?
Bloonchipper is just not a fun tower for us, it's super hard to balance and something that can feel like a small nerf can totally destroy the careful balance with it. It was a fun tower in BTD5 but we feel we can make towers that are more awesomer than it in the future.
Are there any towers that you have considered but ended up being scrapped for btd6?
Bloonchipper.
do monkey buccaneers have their own bloon popping shanties?
Absolutely! I just can’t sing any of them.
What species of monkey are the monkeys in BTD games?
The bloon-popping kind
What are your thoughts on Ninjakiwi games pre-btd5?
Pretty great!
Have you see the new fan game BloonsFPS? what are your thoughts?
Yes we’ve seen it and we love anyone expressing their creativity. Garden Warfare has been out for awhile and Bloon FPS or RPG or Open World have all been discussed by the community and the team, but just because Ninja Kiwi hasn’t built any of those doesn’t mean that someone else has the rights to. We haven’t and can’t give permission for it to use our IP, cause confusion to players, or impact the livelihoods of our team, so we have to keep an eye on it.
Will you ever release concept art or any sort of art book? i really love the art style of btd6, and i would love to see how long and how complicated the style became!
We have shared some concept work in the past but we have no plans for an art book at this stage!
Can you port your BTD 5 progress from flash to steam, mobile, or console?
Sadly not as the Flash version is totally different and the saves aren’t compatible.
Will there be new cards of any kind planned to be released for card battles?
Not at the moment!
How are the NK Kiwi staff doing in these COVID times? -From a neighbouring New Zealander-
We are all very grateful to be living in NZ and feeling very privileged to be able to live our lives almost normally!
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!

Do monkeys even watch football? If so, then how did the monkey buccs react when tampa bay won the super bowl?
do you have statistics for which trophy store items are bought more frequently than others?
Why not incorporate the Bloonchipper into an upgrade path of a future tower? That happened with the Spike-O-Pult becoming an upgrade for the base Dart Monkey.
Since Street Party got ported to the jukebox recently, could other themes, such as Ocarina Time and Bloons House Party, be ported too?
Who wrote the pre-round comments for the original BTD games? Did the same person write them for BTD6?
What happens to the monkeys that get sacrificed by adora or the sun temple? please dont tell me there wishing on daises

Since we can't play SAS4 at this point I am playing on steam version. Any possible new maps there? Like ice and Melt? Can we get the ability there to craft weapons. I don't think that Steam game got a lot of upgrades
Is Frag Bomb in BTD6 designed in a way that it never hurts initial layer of target bloon, due to Alchemist able to enhance the damage?
