Welcome, everyone. We haven't released much this week for you guys, but internally we've been busy testing a bunch of stuff to get it ready for you. New features for games, games for different platforms, even new games altogether if were lucky enough. It's the part of working for Ninja Kiwi that brings everything from awesome to More Awesomer, as we are wont to say.
BTD Mobile Games; A Video
Sam's here to tell you about the updates for Bloons TD 5 mobile and Bloons TD Battles mobile. Just like a Marvel movie, make sure you stay till after the credits.
Contested Territory
We've been watching discussions about Contested Territory in Bloons Monkey City to see what further changes could make it better. Higher levels are still seeing longer games than we want and motivation after one player pulls ahead too much are both things we'll be addressing in a future update.
Bloons TD Battles Web
We've recently migrated the BTD Battles web servers over to a better host. They are more powerful and we've seen an improvement on ping times when moving the mobile version's servers over in the past.
After this migration we have plans to do a larger infrastructure update to increase game stability. Moving forward we'll also be able to improve server selection for quick matches so that players get put together based on location which will further increase ping.
You may not notice much difference with just the move, but let us know if you have (or haven't).
Questions from the Comments
Any news on BTD5 Deluxe?
Unfortunately not at this point. There are parts moving that involve it, but nothing set enough to give a clue yet.
Have you stopped updating Battle Panic?
Battle Panic is in a similar position to Bloons Super Monkey 2. We have thoughts (and countless suggestions) but it's unlikely there will be an update for either game.
Peace out.
When is the new Clan Challenge?

So you move battles to a better host, but not SAS4 as well? So I'm going to be losing even more boxes and waste my time?
Thats so sad about not being able to get updates to both Battle Panic and Super Monkey 2. I like both games. I prefer Battle Panic. It's a little ahead in my list of favorite games between those two. I hope you will reconsider updates for those two games. :)
Hi. Nice blog. As usual. I really liked the video, short, and half a minute of laughs. Nice work Sam. I like my daily rewards on sas4, and I am up to around 25 ( 2 days after the first load of zeus turrets) and I think some missions are long. I do VIP, because it is short, easy and fun. But even that, I still have 3 characters, so it usually takes between an hour and 2 hours. I am ok with it as this is, but I would like a new, shorter map. Thanks for listening, jkl best
Do you have any information to share about any changes that could be made to the forums and site in general?
Are you planning on adding the new achievement bar that BMC and SAS4 to the other games with the old one?
I want to buy Deluxe, but I can't until I come back from my 1 month trip. I would appreciate an update, but I'm fine paying $10 for a bunch of tracks. A new tower, like the helicopter, is something I'd like to see in Bloons Tower Defense 5 Deluxe.
You forgot the SAS4 part!!!
That SAS4 T-shirt looked so awesome!
