Questions from the comments:
If a nuke dropped on a monkey can’t hurt it at all, how did a single bouncy bullet leave Churchill with a scar?
We don’t think you’re really appreciating just how bouncy a bouncy bullet can be!
Do the Buccaneers eat the grapes that they shoot? Better yet, do they eat the Hot Shots?
They might snack on one or two but they try not to eat things that are on fire.
Wait, if the General is on the front lines, and we don't see him, what lines are we on? And where are the front lines?
There are many front lines
What servers does Benjamin own is it the official ninja kiwi server
In his mind, he owns all servers… potentially
Would you rather try to pop 1 BAD-sized DDT, or 100 DDT-sized BADs?
1 BAD sized DDT seems like it might be slightly easier!
Are Paragons regular monkey citizens or are they some mythical monkey that barely any other monkeys know about until they are summoned in battle? What do heroes think about Paragons or are they not canon outside of gameplay?
It’s more of a Power Rangers situation, after all look at that transformation effect!
Were the vacationers on Resort upset that what is essentially the entire army, plus the gods of storms, nature and war AND a devistating laser beam using the pool to defend against bloons?
At least they are getting some entertainment? From somewhere else at least. We do take note that those deck chairs are not occupied.
Are Adora and Ezili related somehow?
We aren’t sure, but it seems possible
Do you think we will see a preview for update 31 of btd6 by the end of March/Start of April?
We try not to put a time on it as we don’t wanna disappoint anyone if we have to push it back!
Does it hurt to get hugged by Pat Fusty, considering that his hugs can shatter the lead of DDTs?
Not at all, he’s very careful. And cuddly.
Was captain churchill and Striker jones partners in Monkey war 2?
We haven’t asked, but we reckon they’d be a deadly duo!
Do you have plans to pass skins from bloons pop to btd6?
We don’t at the moment but some of them are pretty great!
whats with the paragons eyes? it cant just be a coincidence that they all have a single eyes changed
Seems unlikely doesn’t it?
which hero has the best table manners?
Sauda
why dont the bloons add the regrow attribute to MOAB class bloons as well?
Let's hope they never figure that out!
How does the Ice monkey always stay cold
Ask Frozone. Or Elsa. Wait, what’s said in Cold Powers Club stays in Cold Powers Club.
In BTD Battles 2 live stream, you told, that there will be a only battles monkey after launch. When will be the monkey released?
We won’t discount adding exclusive monkeys to Battles 2, but we don’t have one currently in the works.
will there be any new bosses or paragons?
Most certainly!
Have you ever lost to round 63?
More times than I would like to admit…
Can gwen handle the hottest pepper in the world
Of course!
Is any of the heroes good at babysitting
Striker, he’s very strict but makes a mean coco.
Someone asked about BTD6 mods that you have something to do with... what are they talking about?
We discussed this in our most recent update notes! We are looking into how we could support mods in a more in-depth way while preserving the game fun. You can see note about it here.
Is there any chances that we are going to see brand new tower/monkey in BTD6 in this year?
There is a chance. How big of one… who could say?
What will happen with nk games that did not make it onto the archive. Are they gone forever? I remember there being a Mario style platformer on the site when it was still up but it is not on the archive. Are games like that gone forever or will they be added to the archive eventually?
Sadly not, all the games that are currently on the Archive are all that will be added. Certain games just weren’t viable for that and will not be brought back.
What's Ezili's favorite Pokemon?
Mimikyu
Are you planning on releasing your figurines from the update notes videos on Makeship?
Those figures were actually 3D by one our lovely artists and not something we will have
Shotgun mastery in SAS4, at Lv.4 it says "Double damage to obstacles", does this increase the damage if I shoot through a shield against a Shielder?
Shotgun Mastery doesn't do extra damage to shields.
Why is banana farmer banned from ranked boss events? So many banana's need collecting
As the farmers are still counted as powers, they are still locked from them. Marketplaces don’t need farmers though, just sayin’!
How much does Pat Fusty weigh?
Simple: 1 Pat Fusty’s weight in Pat Fustys.
Have a great weekend and happy gaming!

Would you ever make YouTuber towers or skins

What species are the monkeys? And are heroes like Pat Fusty and Obyn different species from the rest?
So, the Dartling Gunner's Hydra Rocket Pods upgrade says that it shoots missiles made of depleted Bloontonium. How in the world do you deplete Bloontonium?
I have a idea for the bloon chipper and how you can balance and or nerf it, for the top path, you can split the damage of ceramics to half of the original, you can limit the Tier 4 top path to BFBs, and for a 5th tier, it can chip away at ZOMGs but it has a cool down between each time it tries to suck up moab class bloons, and for middle path, you can turn triple barrel to double barrel for the Tier 3 middle path, and you can turn the T4 into triple barrel, and then the T5 should still have 3 barrels, but its ability sucks up the remaining lead bloons on screen, and the bottom path is yours to figure out NK
When will Benjamin get a pet?
Quincy is apparently a french name. Are he and Etienne friends? Do they eat croissants together?

Many bugs have been fixed in sas4 mobile/Steam version in Ver.1.10.2. Is this bug still in the Flash version? Or is it already fixed?
Which hero has the best “funny face” picture?
