No, it's definitely still free dude.
You CAN buy it via the Steam edition or something, but it's just 3 or 4 additional buildings and a couple more tracks. It's definitely not worth the $10 asking price.

>How do Bloons kill you? Also, why are they called 'Bloons' instead of 'Balloons'? Is there a difference?
>Have you ever gotten caught up in a bouncy house? Bit like that. Of course there’s a difference! “Balloons” are harmless items you have at birthday parties but “Bloons” are evil, killing machines.
I support the change for my own reasons, but also, Ninja Kiwi has been working on Battles 2 for over 3 years now (source), and so there's likely been a lot of thought into Boosts Only Powers. They're making this call because it's the best thing for Battles 2. 🥳
https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173404-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-30th-october-2020 They answered about 'what type of monkey each Hero was' in their blog in the questions section.
Don't get me wrong I completely agree, operating drones/a UAV definitely feels Military.
This question was answered in the last NK blog!
>Unaware if this has been asked before, but what happens when Bloons slip by, canonically?
They move onto the next area or into the cities and villages of the monkeys beyond.
I can play BTD5 on Android without an internet connection just fine?
The [1.4 update](https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/game-update/21607-bloons-td-5-web-ios-and-android-updates) introduced "Everyplay", the screencapture feature which I only vaguely remember. I haven't seen the icon for it in for a very long time in my game. Perhaps it needed a Facebook account to be linked, which I haven't had in a very long time either. This could be one of the many reasons (besides cloud saving, license verification, IAPs) why the app would use an internet connection
>We aren’t planning on bringing back bloonchipper at this stage. It was a tower that was notoriously hard to balance and ruined a lot of fun for some people, us included!

this is interesting i looked to see if adora and ezili were sisters and found this.

From NinjaKiwi blog:
>Ads are almost entirely rewarded - you watch them if you want to and if the value they offer (bonus shots, shuffling the shots in your inventory, one more chance if the Bloons have leaked, bonus rewards) makes sense to you. Full disclosure there are interstitial ads in the game, but only if you have not purchased IAP and if you have not done any rewarded ads over several levels.

Hey there, if you can please get in touch with us about this issue at https://ninjakiwi.com/support. We're currently looking into the issues with the Odyssey mode and we can provide further assistance there!
"What is the Dartling Gunner doing? Are they at target practice, training for the day they are added, or is the Dartling Gunner just chilling while waiting for the day they are added?They are helping fight the war on bloons, just not in BTD6 yet." - From NK's past week's blog.
Probably Balloon Tower Defense 5. (Ninja Kiwi)
Honestly, I don't know why I like it. It's kind of strategic & just fun to play. You'll get bored eventually.
In blog posts and their Ask Me Anything on YouTube. The best explanation is probably in their first June 2021 post: https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173432-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-4th-june-2021
Just read the first question. :)
NK hints at both being correct in their blog: https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173434-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-18th-june-2021
It has been published on the blog that we are trying to get rid of fake ads.
It's not currently available on console, but this is something that we do plan to do. If you want to keep up with any info there or ask further questions our Blog may answer on that https://ninjakiwi.com/blog
According to NK blog you should only get forced ads if you haven't been watching the rewarded ones for a while. If you have and you're still getting forced ads, then you should probably report it to NK support. I'm not getting any forced ads, but I do use the rewarded ones every now and then.
Chipper is never coming; it's a balancing thing.
As for Battles, not in TD6, but:
>It would simply be disingenuous to say that we’re not thinking about Battles 2, so we’re not going to play dumb on that. There’s just nothing to talk about yet in terms of timing or features or anything. As soon as we have anything to share we’ll let you know.
NK, here.
Actually it's a lot worse. Ninja Kiwi confirmed every engineer bloon traps are connected to a black hole and the bloons are converted into money from hawking radiation and alchemy. https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173375-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-1st-may-2020

Yearly ask about whether you guys are working on or thinking about working on an updated BMC with BTD6 tower mechanics. Also, are there any plans on bringing back the Bloonchipper? And if so, what class do you think you would make it (support, military, etc.) Playing BMC is making me wish we had it for BTD6
We don’t have any plans for a BMC with BTD6 graphics! We haven’t eliminated the chance for the Bloonchipper to come back but it isn’t something we are currently planning. If it did, it would probably be support.

To quote from NK's blog:
"Both Bloons TD 5 and Bloons TD 6 have been either free or on sale previously, so it may happen again. However, we cannot guarantee it."
To clarify: the mobile versions of both games has been free, don't think Steam has. Steam BTD5 has been on sale but 6 has not.

What's Up At Ninja Kiwi? - 16th November, 2018 | Ninja Kiwi Blog https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173302-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-16th-november-2018?mobile=0
Excerpt from Ninja Kiwi blog:
Will Bloons TD 6 come to Steam? >At launch BTD6 will only be on iOS and Android. As with our other games we will expand onto other platforms such as Steam, but it will be many months after launch.
Could we make his abilities all able to compound onto one another? Similar to Octavia placing her Mallet that's then picked up by Resonator, could Vauban Place his mines, bastille, and vortex orbs onto one another to compound their effects (actually good synergy). So he'd have a bit of a Tower Defense theme.
Tesla arcing along all effected Bastille enemies, Vortex Shredding enemy armor, etc.
They'd need to extend the duration if you throw one onto the stack.
Arctic Wind has been notoriously buggy since its release in 1.0 because it can interact with game mechanics in very unexpected ways
Its unique feature of creating solid platforms has caused headaches for devs especially paired with Chinook
"Any bloons or monkeys that decided to go rouge? Not necessarily join the other side, but just decided to leave and never come back."
"Bloonchipper!"
- NK Blog, 3rd September, 2021
https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173410-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-11th-december-2020 NK has confirmed that chipper isn't coming back
Never gonna happen! NK Even said they regret making it!
The bloonchipper defected to the bloon side, which means I believe that it has been reborn as... the monkeychipper!
It's not a bloon though so you'll never see it.
sorry not sorry
According to Ninja Kiwi's 9th July 2021 blog, different types of Bloontonium can have different colors depending on where the Bloontonium is harvested from. So theoretically it can be any color
Friendly reminder that even though flash is gone, you can download the ninja kiwi archive on steam, Windows, and MacOS. I know you're too lazy to google it so I'll just leave the link here:
Not anytime soon and it'd have to be extremely well thought out; Ninjakiwi stated that they regretted adding bloonchipper in the July 21st 2020 blog
This is a good thing to note. Early access on Steam will be public, and then right before it, they will invite some people outside of NK. (confirmed on this blog post)
At no point have they mentioned YouTubers, so we technically have no idea if any YouTubers will get early access. However, BTD6 + the Dartling Gun did have early access versions for some YouTubers, so YouTubers are still a good guess.
This is actually pretty close to canon. (Though it seems nk just makes up canon on the spot, they do stick to it). IIRC This it the first reference to lore:
It all goes back to Tim's birthday party.
And during some blogs (e.g. August 2018 blog) they also reference this event:
>- What is a life in BTD6? Back when soulbind was a thing, the conversion rates meant that even a Dart Monkey was worth 2 lives. So whose life is being lost when a bloon leaks and why is it worth less than monkey lives?
>
>Any life is only truly as valuable as a sacrifice it can offer to the one true sun god, and if you can't offer any sacrifice this only serves to anger that power. So you're really just trying to keep the sun god happy and resting until it's power is needed.
>
>When you can't do that, well Churchill says it best.
>
>Also, Tim's Birthday Party.
In one of NK’s blogs, they revealed which towers were used most in BTD6! The top were dart, farm, and sniper, so maybe something like that. Of course, every tower is pro-level if used well.

I’d hate to think of sniper as a noob tower, though - it’s so fun!
Also as further proof in this official ninja kiwi blog https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173404-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-30th-october-2020?page=2 ninja kiwi officially stated that ettiney is support therefore ettiney is valid in this run
Yeah - sorry about that. Like I said, I've been playing for several years so I just didn't remember if I paid for it or not. Still - it's my favorite game. Worth the $12 if you ask me. I have certainly gotten my money's worth. I'm pretty sure that you can play it on ninjakiwi.com for free (via Steam.)
Not happening. The devs hate bloonchipper because its design is fundamentally broken: it's either insanely OP or completely useless.
" Dartling Gunner is back... Can you bring back Bloonchipper? I have some ideas such as artwork and upgrade paths.
We aren’t planning on bringing back bloonchipper at this stage. It was a tower that was notoriously hard to balance and ruined a lot of fun for some people, us included! "

Q: "will you add the secret Agents including the Beekeeper to Bloons td 6 in the Future?"
A: "Maybe! We loved some of the characters and abilities of the Agents but they didn’t scale with gameplay, so that’s the main thing we’d want to address. Aspects of Pro Powers and Agents keep coming back into design discussions, so we definitely hear where you are coming from, but we haven’t planned on or even committed to anything there."
Discord:
Day: April 18 2018 From: JoeyRainstorm
Message: "I like the beekeeper (Y)"
Day: April 24 2018 From: JoeyRainstorm
Message: "I hope beekeeper comes back in BTD6 >_<, I want that to be the secret"
//I didn't include everything on Discord, but those give a good idea already.
Maybe
But whats really happening is that they are focused on btd6 and a Blog Post says that they aren't planning anything for this game.
I used to play Bloons td 3 on cool math games at school. Oh the memories. Last year, I got into the rest of the series though on ninjakiwi.com. A few weeks ago, I got btd6 and joined this subreddit. :)
Thank you! I'm so glad that the archive is available. May I suggest that your Forum page on NinjaKiwi.com should include a mention of that -- and possibly a lovely little screen shot of this Sub with a red circle around the "Archive Forums" link? I think it would really help.
Thanks!
The devs did explain why bloons need to be popped on their blog. The bloons are like viruses, consuming all resources while multiplying endlessly. https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173352-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-1st-november-2019
Hmm… NK said they don't know about it but the bloons anthem just sounds like rubber squeaking.

It's against NK's TOS.
"Without express written consent from Ninja Kiwi, any attempts to modify, hack, cheat, autoplay, bot... is expressly prohibited and immediately terminates the limited license granted and will lead to suspension of your account..."
This also falls under rule 5 of the sub.
I got my middle aged father hooked on Bloons Tower Defense 5 and 6. They're pretty easy to play, but can be difficult if you want them to. They each have coop functionality and you can play BTD 5 for free at (https://ninjakiwi.com/Games/Tower-Defense/Play/Bloons-Tower-Defense-5.html)[the developers website]
People also recommend Plants vs Zombies and I would agree with that. The developers of that game also made a whole bunch of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PopCap_games)[other], easy to get into games that run on almost every PC.
https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173359-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-20th-december-2019 it's a bit vague, but i'd say they do look pretty similar in appearance (ponytail, expression) and they also both get a distorted voice. not sure if obyn is a part of the family or not though.

really? The weekly blog post is just from random people? I might have not been very precise with my writing I suppose, i'm talking about posts like this aren't they official?
TFT is not a RGM for League of Legends. TFT is a different genre. So replacing RGM for TFT is a dumb because you have the assets like Star Guardian PvE that are a wasted.
​
Auto Chess != MOBA.
​
TFT gameplay is so different from LoL, is like saying Flag football is a "RGM" of Basketball. I love playing TFT but I love playing better something like URF, Project Overdrive, etc. Because their gameplay are similar to a MOBA.
​
Imagine working for Riot and believing this fricking poopoo. Dark Star (thresh free for all), Star Guardian and Odyssey were RGM of a Moba, you needed to upgrade abilities, buy items and must importantly play them like a MOBA.
​
TFT is an AutoBattler similar to Bloons, you need to know where to position your units and when to upgrade them. But needs less APM and micro mechanics than MOBA or RTS games.

https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173318-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-15th-march-2019?mobile=0 nk said they wanted to add it so thats pretty much a confirmation
Bloons Tower Defense. It rocks. It does get better the newer you go though. My personal favorite was BTD4.
Why is this tower defense preferable above others, you say? Well, because you command an army of monkeys plopping balloons. I don't think you need any more reasons. The only "but", is that it's Flash based. But who cares. Go plop some bloons!
To experience Bloons history?
I'd recommend checking out the original Bloons TD here!
Coolmath's site is really annoying these days...I'd just play on ninjakiwi.com.
Also, if you beat BTD2 on hard mode you are a god.
If you think you'd enjoy more BTD5, you can play BTD5 Flash with all of its Daily Challenges and its handful of unique tracks, or BTD5 Deluxe with its unique Special Missions, tracks, and Special Agents, or you can get my mod for the Steam version, BTD5 Expansion, with its plethora of retro tracks, a slightly larger selection of Special Missions, new Specialties, Special Agent upgrades, and tons of general polish.
It's a flash game called "flur" by Ninja Kiwi. Absolutely beautiful graphics and sound design. The gameplay is braindead and you don't really have to pay attention, but it's extremely relaxing. Just aesthetically pleasing in general.
This one is my favorite. I also love to do sudoku and chess though but they sometimes stress me out more lol
