What isn't up at Ninja Kiwi, am I right?
It's a fabulous Friday the 13th (there's another one next month too!) here in New Zealand and we've had a busy week. Some more updates managed to get off the update train and there's still plenty more where they came from. SAS 4 and BMC (mobile and web both) have more stuff on the way though you'll have to wait to hear about them.
SAS Zombie Assault 4 - Meltdown Map Release
SAS4 web was updated to introduce the new mission, Meltdown. Taking place in a dangerous nuclear power plant you must navigate the tight corridors, seemingly random doors and shut down each reactor before the place goes sky high and wrecks Boreas' lovely atmosphere. Along with the mission are a slew of fixes and tweaks, the rest of which you can see on the change log in-game.
Bloons TD 5 - Mobile +Steam Update
The Android/iOS and Steam versions of Bloons TD 5 have been updated. The update includes mainly bug fixes but also a brand new Intermediate track, Wattle Trees. BMC veterans will recognise this track and may want to try it out with more than just Boomerang Throwers

Bloons TD 5 mobile (incl. Steam) has a lot of stuff getting built right now so if you haven't got one of these versions I'd recommend getting one (which of course I'd do, working for Ninja Kiwi, but still...)
Questions from the Comments
When will mobile SAS 4 get these updates?
They will, but I cannot give a specific date. Maybe a couple of weeks away.
Can you get the Overclocked augment on any pistol when your Pistol Mastery is level 5?
Nope. It just makes all pistols fire continuously when you hold down the "trigger"
Will Bloons TD 5 Steam get a chat function in co-op mode?
We hope to get that in one day. No guarantees or time-frames yet though.
When will BMC Mobile be out for Kindle Fire?
It's in development and we hope to get it out really soon.
Any plans for a Linux version of Bloons TD 5 Steam?
Not currently, sorry. Though we never rule out anything like that.
Exactly how much is a butt-load?
Depends on the butt.
Aaron, will you be my Valentine?
Aw, shucks.
Happy Valentine's Day guys. See you next week.
Aaron
Aaron, on a scale of one to ten, how awesome are you?
Can we have the option to trade a black box for 2 nano boxes because black boxes are fairly useless at lower levels.
@frds, BP2 would be like Orc Assualt maybe?
Any chance of Battle Panic 2? I think the BP concept has a lot of potential.
anyone noticed that the map seems to be in character with the season? In the UK all the snow is starting to meltdown :P
Will there be a sale for BTD5 on steam?
Have you ever been to theme parks or funfairs recently? Like, in the summer or something? You never talk about them/
While I understand the need for changes, balances and adjustments, it sometimes makes things pretty hard, at least if SAS4 skills don't have an absolute, but just a relative effect. The reload skill (23 points) can speed up reloading on a Sub-light 1,68 seconds - or just 0,94. On the same weapon!! Just depending on your other skills, masteries and augments. How are we supposed to plan? In addition, now that the reload skill was nerfed, "race modded" could be a sensible option where it hasn't been one before. But the decision for another augment has already been taken long time ago and can't be changed retroactively.
Will we see the Unreleased weapons in SAS4 in the future? How about black pistols and Nightmare mode for Pods and VIP.
Since it wasn't answered last time I'll ask it again. Will anything be done to legacy weapons in SAS4? (Legacy weapons being semi autos with overclocked that should not have overclocked)
