Im glad that you got recognition

[@justanotheraccounthere2014]

15:03 "28k is like 100k in btd6". Looks like all those IMF farming and Monkeynomics shenanigans did have some drawbacks after all.

I plan to keep it that way!

[@DialMforMartyr]

Because btd5 is better than 6

[@Nat_Ratty]

Even though Shyguymask and Subchub have done this idea, it's still really cool.

[@Phenomix]

I'm really glad you think so! Since they were playing every game, they didn't get the chance to test the limits of BTD5 specifically so I really thought this could be interesting.

[@The_Deep_Blue]

still fun to see their strategies and what maps they do

[@truepolar7396]

Man I really miss btd 5 Good to know you still play it. Now I can come back for btd 5 gameplay

[@Phenomix]

I'll be posting every week, glad you're enjoying the content!

I'm glad I randomly stumbled on your channel, I'm loving the videos!

[@Phenomix]

I'm glad you did too, it's awesome to have you here!

[@The_Red_Scare]

Same! I'm not a BTD5 fan, but he makes good content. ^^

[@jospeciale1361]

8:45 probably because the extra ability for the spike trap was active at the start, giving extra fire power, unless you turned it back off

[@CoolyanEmoji]

Ninjakiwi confirmed there are canonically monkeys inside tack shooter, bomb shooter and spike factory

[@camboi6103]

BTD6 confirmed this with the tack shooter paragon lol

[@MarkStillPlays]

spikefactory my beloved solod my entire BMC playthrough due to how good it is

[@krowa3157]

love the videos, im so happy someone still plays btd5

[@Phenomix]

I'm really glad people are still interested in watching BTD5 content, glad you've been enjoying the videos!

[@krowa3157]

@@Phenomix i met my best friend bcs of btd, we spent countless hours playing btd5 and i just love the game, i met the dude 11 years ago, and we are still playing games together

[@saladbuurr4344]

Love the old bloons content reminds me of my childhood

[@Phenomix]

That's a big reason BTD5 is so special to me, I still remember being young when the Flash Version came out and it was even better than BTD4.

[@sameldridge9302]

Woah i was not expecting you to have only like 3k subs, the video is of a really high standard! Keep it up dude :)

[@Phenomix]

I really appreciate you and I'm glad you enjoyed the vifeo!

[@Smooth302]

Congratulations on 3k subs !!!! 👏

[@Phenomix]

Thank you so much bro!

[@metal_pipe9764]

As the 714th subscriber I agree

[@mg-jf5ld]

16:00 bro just forgot that bloonchippers exist

[@Phenomix]

I think I didn't use them because they're too easy. I should've explained that in the video though

[@laterbot]

Helicopers and Planes should definitely fit the rules of this video... Helicopters are invaluable for this run they're so good

[@Phenomix]

Yeah with the helicopter you could farm a ton of lives for sure

[@RnRWND73]

I love when you start blooning all over the place

[@ShurikenLordXFN]

Congrats on 3k

[@Phenomix]

Thank you!

[@The_Red_Scare]

Thanks for doing this! This was actually pretty interesting and a good watch. Would you try doing different "category only" (ex: support only, magic monkeys only, etc) challenges on every map difficulty like you did here in BTD5? Or are those already modes in BTD5? If they are, maybe try it in an earlier BTD game that doesn't have those modes?

[@Phenomix]

That is definitely a great idea! I'll have to try it out sometime and see which categories can and can't beat Impoppable in this game

[@mattguy1773]

The monke village has monkey in that name but there is no monkey seen with it so it counts as a monkeyless tower

[@cowcat8124]

On Tunnels, a bit part of how you did so much better was because you didn't have the specialist building on the first map

[@tootaroni]

Amazing video as per usual

[@Phenomix]

Yoo thank you so much! Glad you've been enjoying them.

[@Silvia.Sparks]

You should do 1 tower on screen at once on mastery impopable. With specialty and labs it's realtively easy, but a bit of fun and would prolly make a good video.

[@Phenomix]

That would definitely be interesting, I do have a video where I try to beat regular Impoppable with only 1 tower and that included not selling it ever.

[@Silvia.Sparks]

@@Phenomix Can you give a link to that vid you mentioned. I can't seem to find it.

[@metal_pipe9764]

That just sounds like that one btd6 achievement

[@thefactspherefromportal2740]

I recently got back into BMC so its great still seeing BTD5 content!

[@Phenomix]

That's awesome to hear, I'm gonna be making a BMC video soon as well!

I didn't expect that combo to be so powerful I can't lie haha, and thank you so much!

[@JorgeConArroz63]

Super Wide Funnel left the chat

[@kingdongzee]

BTD6 has revealed there has always been a monkey inside of the tack shooter, brutal

[@Phenomix]

I'm actually gonna redo this and truly not use any towers soon

@@PhenomixYou're mad, best of luck to you can't wait to see it

Babe wake up, new phenomix video

[@surydeleonyourrealtor9953]

By the way you could used the bloonchipper specialist building because in level IV, it can collect bananas like the banana farmer

[@omnomnom1410]

Babe cancel our plans and pop some corn, Phenomix just uploaded!

[@Cart1416]

I think a version of the tunnel map is in bloons monkey city

[@Phenomix]

That's really cool, I gotta make another video on that game for sure

[@genio2509]

​@@PhenomixYes there is, of the plains biome, and rather easy. And you should totally do another BMC video! Or Livestream!

[@PuzzleGameNoob]

Always great to see a new vid :)

[@Issa1211]

Gotta love a guy who makes btd 5 content in 2024

[@Phenomix]

I'm really happy that people are enjoying BTD5 content in 2024! I never really expected the channel to get this far when I started out with my first video

[@Supersonic6427]

I like that you chose all the maps that people deem too easy for their track difficulty. Also, did you skip using the bloonchipper on purpose? Would have been really beneficial as a moab staller, and I use it a lot in the early game as it's pretty powerful when set to strong and having support. Also want to point out that at 8:53, you never used the spike factory's specialty building for day of the undead compared to when you played tunnels.

[@Phenomix]

To be honest with you I wanted to experiment more but I didn't get the chance to start on this video until yesterday evening, so I couldn't do as much as I had wanted to. I really wanted to try a more difficult Expert map that would force me to use a different strategy which would've lead to the bloonchipper

[@Supersonic6427]

down the drain would be really interesting

[@bradleyhewitt8996]

Really enjoyed this one :)

[@Phenomix]

I'm glad to hear it!

[@Nicknamed030]

6969 ending cash is definetly worth a like lmao

[@frostknight-1234]

Spike factory is the best one pretty much here and banana farm ( depends on map) I recommend going with half spiked mines and moan Shredder

[@TheM.O.A.Bcannon]

The spactory micro was great

[@ashmander3465]

So banana farm, village, bloon chiper tack shooter, bomb shooter and spike factory? Oh and the spikes and pineapples?

[@Phenomix]

That's what I would consider to be fair game, yeah

[@KingSchnarf]

Nice video. WIsh you restarted at 2:24 though to negate the mistakes

[@Arcticgdnmore]

No way you didn't use spike storm or moab shrddr even once in the whole video 😭

[@thatfroggyguy]

But your cursor is a monkey. you were the monkey all along.

[@EggZu_]

another banger as usual, king

[@Phenomix]

Thank you so much!

[@I_am_floor]

"ermm tack shooters and spike factorys actually have a monkey inside them"🤓🤓🤓 -some bloons lore nerd

[@I_am_floor]

still cool vid tho

[@Phenomix]

I was thinking about that as well, if we're gonna be technical, every tower has to have some sort of help from the monkeys I would imagine. I always thought a bloons lore video would be cool as well

[@SavoyMapper_Official]

The monkeys are IN the towers, but the bomb tower...💀

The monkey inside the tack shooter casually throwing 8/16 tacks at once

Can’t believe tack shooter is a scab smh

[@SNIPERofEG]

Did you forget about the wide funnel upgrade on bloon chipper?

[@Phenomix]

I think I didn't use it because it's just so powerful lol

[@hoagieland3716]

I’m just now realizing that BTD5 Steam has double cash for banana farms compared to BTD5 Flash. I’m guessing this is from the monkey lab which doesn’t exist in the Flash version?

[@Phenomix]

There actually isn't any lab upgrades that affect income generation, I'm not sure why they decided to buff farms for the Mobile and Steam Version

[@maus1212]

i love your content!

[@liljuz1981]

we're so back 💪

[@margerinethacker6499]

um, actually, all of the non-monkey towers have a monkey in them. It was confirmed by Ninja Kiwi in a R*ddit post ☝️🤓

[@leonardotrujillo8661]

Why did bro censor reddit😭🙏

[@Phenomix]

I was about to ask the same thing lol censoring Reddit is pretty funny, but yeah technically the monkeys control everything of course. Hope you still enjoyed the video!

[@Abukek133]

Isn't there a monkey inside the tack shooter tho

[@Phenomix]

Yeah that's definitely a fair point, but thankfully I didn't end up using it at all anyways

8:54 you forgot that you have the building active😭

I actually made a note in my script where I was gonna mention that but I ended up excluding it.

[@bdlc9952]

The only special agent that is a monkey is farmer

[@Lucas-m3v2s]

Canonically there is a monkey in EVERY TOWER, so if they went on strike NOTHING would work. This also means there as a monkey in the Bomb Shooter💀and Spike Factory☠

[@Phenomix]

Yeah that's a good point, this challenge isn't actually possible according to the lore of BTD5

There are definitely quite a few rounds that are either the same or very similar, I think that goes for some early rounds as well.
