Thanksgiving has come and gone, seasons are changing and Christmas is right around the corner. But we're not done. Not yet.
In towns and cities around the world, kids are coming to the end of school for the year, holidays are being planned and presents bought by those that do that kind of thing. For many people, things are starting to wind down, but not at Ninja Kiwi. We're working away to wrangle everything into shape for the approaching holidays and we've just managed to get the last massive thing out the door.
Bloons Monkey City iOS - Available Now for FREE!
That's right, Bloons Monkey City has just been released on iOS around the world. Downloadable for free right now!
If you have an iOS device, click the picture above, or the link below, to go and download the most important new game on the market.
We're currently at number 4 in Best New Games, and with your help we think we can get to the top.
Bloons Monkey City is a mixture of city building and BTD elements combined into one awesome package. If you can get the game, there's no reason not to download it now and see just what things we've been preparing for you in what we would call our biggest mobile game yet!
City customisation has been significantly ramped up, with a new tile system that let's you more precisely place buildings, then add paths, trees and other decorations to make the city truly your own. More towers, more missions, more maps and more portability than you can shake a stick at.
As always we've got a bunch of ideas for updates to come out over the game's lifetime, so get in early and start your city now!
Questions from the Comments:
Will Bloons Monkey City Mobile come to Android? When?
Yes! There will most certainly be an Android version. It unfortunately won't be out the door till next year though. We have no specific date, but there's only a handful of weeks remaining till the new year.
Why did you guys choose to get rid of Deluxe and create the Steam version?
There's quite a lot of story behind our reasoning for this, and we've posted on various blogs, social media and forums about why this choice was made. It's not an easy decision to drop support for any game and ideally we would do everything, but with limited resources we have to try and fit everything we want to do into the workable hours the good Sun God has given us.
The biggest and overarching reason is one of resources. We couldn't dedicate enough time to Deluxe to make it live up to its potential. At the same time, we had a radical Bloons TD 5 mobile codebase that was able to be supported almost constantly with updates. Sometimes small, sometimes big, but updates all the same. Quite a while ago we decided that a proper port of the C++ code base would be the best of both worlds. It would let us have a super awesome desktop BTD5 experience and because it's from the same code as mobile, we can get more time spent on updates. The original Flash version would have required any new updates to be made separately from scratch, which is nearly double the work that is required now that we have the Steam version.
Because Deluxe would not be getting updates, we decided to replace it with the Steam version rather than have two games that fit the same roll.
Will tracks etc. from old BTD games come to BTD5 Steam/Mobile/Online?
There are no plans for anything like that to happen.
Will the new SAS Zombie Assault 4 map (Ice Station) be made for the mobile version?
Yep. SAS4 mobile will eventually have all that stuff, it's just a matter of time.
Whatever happened to the Portal Artefact in Bloons Monkey City?
I'm not sure what that is. Sounds like something mysterious and powerful though.
Will you add more music to BTD5, BMC or SAS4?
Always possible, nothing to confirm. (Less likely in BTD5 though)
Will the Bloonchipper, Heli-Pilot and Monkey Sub be added to Bloons Monkey City [Web]?
Always possible, nothing to confirm.
Any chances of adding a non-stop button to BTD5 too?
There aren't any current plans to spend time of incorporating that into BTD5.
Does a moderator count as an NK employee?
Nope, your friendly neighbourhood moderators are volunteers, prepared to stand at the front line and protect the forum.
If you could have anything done with a current or past NK project, which game and what would it be?
There are a few ideas that were dropped that I'd like to see, but something that wasn't planned would be an RTS-like mode for Battle Panic. I can't imagine it supporting that game-play with how it's set up, but the ideas behind the game are fun for the imagination.
Thanks for stopping by! Go download Bloons Monkey City mobile!

Can you add the some of the towers in BTD5 for the phone like the bloon shredder or the helicopter to the computer version? Some of those towers are awesome and would be nice in the computer version?
Will the new features added in Monkey City Mobile (Paths, Trees, ect) be added to Monkey City online?
I have been seeing the other users profiles and i see: " (X user) Is playing A misterious Game " What's that?
by next year,do you mean 365 days or 2015?

@Scott N : thanks so much i'll be waiting
Guys. I'm not the type of guy who like to complain, but... Can you please show how much Single Players matches a person did on SAS 4 multiplayer profile? I'm a lot tired about people asking why I have so few mp matches (and a hella lot on SP) for my level (76 at moment). It's kinda annoying explain that I use to play on SP (due the excess of lag) and being called a liar. Btw, what about single player challenges like on MP? Not everyone can play the game on MP all the time, to be honest.
Can you add stuff that is exclusive to the web? also can you add btd5 deluxe stuff into btd5?
The gigavolt is no longer what it once was :( You can't shoot through barriers like you could on last stand.
Since the mobile BMC is free now, will it still be free later? And also, when the android version comes out, will it be free too? -I have an android so I can't get BMC on it right now :(
