Ah, July 4th. I'm sure that means something somewhere... but not here. Not today. Today is just a Friday.
Time zones.
Such fun.
But seriously, happy Fourth of July, United States of America
In celebration of Independence Day for our American players, we're having a Double Monkey Money Weekend for Bloons TD 5 Mobile. That's Double Monkey Money for every bit of Monkey Money you get. A great time to finish a few maps to top up your MM banks.
We've also had an update for Bloons TD Battles Mobile! The update includes some new decals in the 4th of July theme, but also a new track, Offside. An extremely short track with a Football theme in celebration of the greatest sport ever.
Bloons TD Battles Web Update
Bloons TD Battles received an update earlier in the week. The update introduced a new track, A-Game, as well as a number of balance changes that cut down on games going on for too long. Some round timings turned out to be too extreme (particularly for Defend Mode) and there has since been another update to bring that particular number back. Here are the changes as they stand now:
If you're a fan and haven't checked the update out, load it up now to see how you do with the new changes and the new map.
SAS: Zombie Assault 4
We've been working away on SAS4 this week too. Today we released a small update that introduced the ability for guests of Ninja Kiwi to play without having an account, a few little balance changes, a few more bug fixes and for a limited time a 25 Promethium Strongbox pack at a discounted price.
A lot of this has brought behind the scenes changes to handle logging in and managing players. We've got some bigger new features coming soon, and a much requested feature coming soon after that.
Bloons Monkey City
Contested Territory may finally be behaving. A bug has been making it far more difficult for players to recapture the territory after having it already, and another bug has been giving far too much money to players that did manage to capture it. These are both patched and things are currently looking good for the King of the Hill-esque game-play.
There are only a few days left for this weeks desert map in Contested Territory, but if you haven't checked it out, try CT in BMC now!
Questions from the Comments
Will BTD5 [Web] get any new Special Missions?
No current plans for any.
Will there ever be an option to change the name of our city in Bloons Monkey City?
It's something we would like to put in, though not a high priority.
How are the Contested Territory rounds (bloon order) generated?
The same way normal tiles in Bloons Monkey City are generated. The CT "tile" has a difficulty and a seed which will generate the rounds. Each player on a territory (and anyone in the same "tier") should have the same bloon waves.
Aaron's favo[u]rite boss zombie in SAS4?
Wicker. 'Cause of fire.

@Scottobozo 1 white.
What I really want to know is what the NK staff has against Twinkies.
Well, i won the 1st CT, but i didn't get any rewards (tile, AP, or Bloonstones) i hope this changes the 2nd time around! :D
SAS 4 is it me or the game on commets it looks like thi(enter)s i did not press enter.
Two questions: Private Matches coming next update? Why do some nerfs *cough doublenerfofhornetandstripper cough* do not appear in patch notes?
About the shotlite armor nerf. Now it cuts down maybe 10% of your speed if you had a full shotlite set. WHYYYYY????? How does this possibly help? I would really appreciate it if you could tell us WHY these things get nerfed. Was getting lots of free LMG ammo from field supplies spoiling anything? And was that extra few % from the shotlite armor making any ACTUAL problem? It is hardly the difference between a win or loss in game, so what is the actual gain to either yourselves as hard working game developers or us as players who HATE NERFING. I will say thankyou so very much for buffing body armor expert though :D
I wonder why you care about the 4th of July if Ninja Kiwi is from New Zealand, Australia.
Do the zebra bloons from super ceramics spawn 1 white bloon, 1 black bloon, or both?
@Everyone Aaron said that they are making private matches, but it is not the next thing they will add/fix.
@superhattrashboat: Also, I want to note one more thing: Shotlite armor movement mod boost has been HALVED. All of the Shotlite armor has been nerfed. And there is no armor buff.
