Questions from the comments:
Have unpopped bloons ever been captured?
Not to our knowledge.
will NK Archive comes out in mobile?
Sadly no. :(
Do you plan on adding chat in coop like the flash version of btd 5?
Not at this stage no.
What is pat fustys favourite MOAB to squash?
Plushie MOABs!
Why can't you just close the doors on dark castle? it's not like they cant close.
Engineer Monkey said it’s going to take a week and he needs some spare parts sent from the Workshop.
Will Bloons Pop get another update?
It just got one!
Does Smudge Catt have multiple cats or just the one? Does it (or do they) ever have play dates or anything with Etienne’s Roomba cat?
Multiple cats! And they definitely hang with roomba cat!
Who is the cutest Tower Keepers hero??
I would say Ranger!
What does Quincy have to say about camos that are revealed after getting past his bow?
He complains to the MABA (Monkey Association of Bows and Arrows) about an illegal play.
Do Monkeys ever accidentally injure each other when attacking the Bloons?
Never! They are very careful about that.
What language does Ben code in?
B#, both a cool banana-based language and also a fun play on words for the dart monkeys to cringe at.
once all the hero plushies are done, will you expand to more towers/upgrades or even hero skins? it would be cool to see an axe sauda plushie
We would consider it for sure!
has any of the heroes (or any other monkeys) ever commited a crime like stealing?
Stealing our hearts maybe
How do blimps stay floating despite having tears and cracks in them?
Spite… and also that mysterious force that they are filled with keeps them afloat.
can i have a hug :(
Pat is on the way!!
What... what is the glue made of? You said that we daren't ask what Glue Gunner puts in those tubes…
We don’t ask.
Is there any canon ships?
I mean, Buccaneer can be a canon ship!
Are Dark Champions parents dead??
No, Dark Champion avoids all origin tropes whenever possible.
Can you put something in the trophy store that just puts glasses on all the upgrades that see camo? Or maybe just the enhanced eyesight upgrade.
We’d love to add cosmetics to monkeys themselves but it’s pretty tricky. Never say never but not at this moment.
Why do the bloons let you put costumes and cosmetics on them?
They are convinced it will let them sneak through
Will the Banana monkey from Bloons pop ever make it to any other games in the BTD universe?
We most certainly want them to
A while back on a blog it was said that the next game after btd battles 2 would a be a new IP but it was not ready to be announced because you were not sure if the game would be made or not. How is that game progressing? Is it still in production? And can we expect any announcements soon?
It’s progressing well and we’re hoping to share more in the not too distant future but nothing to share right now!
If you could pick 2 heroes to fuse together to create an ever-more efficient ...Dare I say... Super hero. which two heroes would you pick and why?
Sauda and Obyn, just cause they are my two favorites.
If quincy had to be in a completely different video game of his specific choice, where would he go?
Something he could relax in!
What do the monkeys think of pool stacking?
They don’t mind it too much, except the boats and subs that get placed at the top. Its pretty high up!
how are you mysterious ninja kiwi person?
We are all doing well! Thanks for asking!
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!

Will Flora Adora come to BTD6, or will it stay in Bloons Pop?
Did you guys ever think to put btd5 sound effects in the trophy store as an item (selling, pop, placement) for nostalgia fans
[deleted-MTM1Nzc5NTI=]
Will you experiment with more collabs with other game ips? BATTD was decently fun, and im sure your next game will be fun aswell!
thoughts on adding removables to maps that dont have any yet?
Why cant the monkeys go on the track, its literally made for the monkeys to go in it.
Can I be expecting to close the dark castle's door next week?
How does a pet teleport when redeployed by a heli?
In a language where there are no genderless pronouns should you refer to Psi as a "he" or "she"? It's very important!
Is the cannon tower a monkey?
