Questions from the comments:
Will there be another SAS game eventually?
We are putting time into SAS4 updates both for active players and to keep us thinking about what’s most fun in SAS. We have high level ideas for SAS5 but don’t have anyone working on it right now. We will let the community know when we start any work on it.
Do you use dartling ninja sniper in battles 2? I bet you do.
Never! We only rock the most off-meta of meta metas.
why is the monkey upgrading price including retirement plans even though they will be on the battlefield endlessly
Monkey social services make sure that all Monkeys are looked out for, exactly for that rare case when one of them does feel like taking the retirement option. Hence the contributions to pensions with every upgrade.
Are there any other animals in the bloons universe?
Of course!
Why is adora so grumpy all the time? is she okay?
That’s just her resting face. She is beyond okay.
most buckshot ammo are made with lead but the bottom path of the dartling gunner cant pop lead?
It’s the bloontonium tipped shots that can pop lead for the dartling gunner
How do you feel about giving the community BTD lore through these blogs? Is anything you tell us to answer our questions to be taken seriously?
How serious is your question? :) In all seriousness we don’t set much lore as canon so we can all have fun with it. We’re pretty serious about our game design, balance, quality, and performance but narrative we keep really flexible.
If it depends on the monkey, does it mean that all Bloons with resistances have some level of monkey fur?
Bloon chemical makeup is an exceptionally complicated topic, one we still haven’t quite figured out yet!
You said you don't have plans for Bloons' 15th aniversary, and I hate to bring it up, but maybe to celebrate the occasion you'll allow the community an attempt at convincing you to add Bloonchipper to BTD6?
Unfortunately, we aren’t going to be adding the Bloonchipper to BTD6. Even for the anniversary!
will there ever be a bloons super monkey 3
There are no plans for it at the moment, but we’d love to one day!
When Psi will get a skin? I would really like to see it ( I bet it will be "mind blowing" )
Soon???
If you annoy Brickell enough she'll address you, the player, as XO, which is second in command of a ship... so does that mean Brickell outranks the player?
I mean there isn’t a rank above Admiral is there?
Does Pat Futsy ever go to Monkey Academy? Did he graduated from there?
We think it might have been a sports scholarship…
Do monkeys like to play with their tails? I Imagine if i was a monkey, that's exactly what i would do!
A lot of them do!
Do you guys know what's planned for 200k members on the subreddit? And can it please be more MK?
We do know what is planned, yes.
Why do the monkeys just sit there and watch once a bloons out of their range?
They like to cheer their compatriots on while they ready themselves for the next wave.
Who's going to be added first to Battles 2? Would it be Churchill?
We’ll let you know closer to time!
When is the ice monkeys birthday?
Well, each Ice Monkey has their own birthday!
Does psi prefer waffles or pancakes? And do they add both butter and syrup or just syrup (or nothing)
Psi enjoys both waffles and pancakes. Or neither.
How do Heroes celebrate their birthdays? Is it just as a big a deal in their world as it is in ours?
Giant. Banana. Cakes.
What is the design ideas behind the DDT? It looks extremely similar to a F-117 Nighthawk. Is that what the DDT's texture is based on?
The DDT was a unique creation from our art team.
How does Quincy feel about describing himself on the loading screen of BTDB2?
He subscribes to the idea that any publicity is good publicity.
which meebling tastes the best
You’re not supposed to eat the meeblings!
If 7 heroes were sharing a pizza, who is most likely to take the last slice?
Etienne
Does the super monkey have x-ray vision like Superman?
Ultravision is far superior to x-ray vision!
Why wont you talk about me?
You know why…
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!

new 15th anniversary hero?
How often does Etienne go to gym? Is he secretly super muscular?
[deleted-MTM1Nzc3ODU=]
PSI and Adora walk into a bar.....
If the monkeys decide to cheer their compatriots, then why do they still sit there when they are the only/last monkey in the map?
When will we get bank buff and also do you guys look at game ideas in your subreddit?
2 questions. Will SAS 5 be free to play if it's ever going to happen ? Any chance we'll see Beekeeper ( or any of the other Special Agents ) for the anniversary ?
How many different tower iterations did you go through until you landed in that sweet spot for new upgrades and paths? And if it is possible, can we view them?
can the prince of darkness obtain drip
What does Striker Jones think of rocket jumping? I have been always thinking about him rocket jumping ever since launch.
