The blooms lore is literally just: There are these Balloons, spelled Bloon(s). These Bloons cause the monkeys to die, so they throw darts, boomerangs, bombs, lasers, God’s fire, and fricking mortars at them. Meanwhile the blooms are sending progressively stronger blooms, camouflaged blooms, blooms immune to magic that the monkeys have somehow, bloons immune to explosions and cold, and blimps just to get to the end of a path to somewhere.

battles 2 has got to be the biggest case of a poor release killing a game, nowadays everyone acts like every game can pull a no man's sky, but their rebound was impressive because it was an exception to the rule

[@cooldud7071]

Survived By was an early-access game teased at the Game awards. It was in development for years, but its launch into early access was so bad it died and the game has been shut down completely. There's plenty of other games that endured similar fates. I wouldn't say it's the biggest case of a poor release killing a game, because it's still technically alive on mobile and PC. Several hundred active players is more than like 99% of all fighting games.

Amazing video, I am so glad I watched all of it! A friend and I started playing BTD Battles 2 the day it released, and were very frustrated when the dartling ninja sniper meta was all we started seeing in matches while we were just trying to level stuff up to try new strategies. As a result, we ended up making a python program that we could leave to afk XP farm by playing against each other in private matches (why you can get XP in private matches to this day is beyond me). It was the first, and hopefully the last time I have cheated in a game, and I am so glad I did it. The XP system was miserable, but I would say it has improved a lot. Amazing content, keep up the good work!

I was born in 1997, my entire childhood aligned perfectly with the entire Golden age of flash browser games. I have such a strong nostalgic feeling for the tens of thousands of random forgotten flash games I played growing up; I didn't have a good enough PC to play actual pc games and I didn't get new console games very often because we were kinda poor. Bloons is one of those few flash games that became so successful it broke out of the status of silly flash game into being an actual legitimate full videogame, and for that it'll always be close to my heart.

Yeah I remember playing Bloons as a little kid when I got my first personal computer ... graduated from all the base windows game like Space Pinball and Spider Solitaire to flash games and exploring all the flash games on the internet. Bloons tower defense was one of my favorite flash games to play with siblings, we even liked the other non tower defense Bloons games & stalked newgrounds for more unique games to try

[@shibainu2528]

1:04:45 "Someone should make a tower defense game where your towers dying is a core mechanic" Technically, you got the Plants vs Zombies Wall-nuts, and instant use plants. You also have Inscryption where sacrificing some of your "towers" lets you get better, stronger towers.

[@orangedontstarve]

People keep mentioning pvz and its kind of my fault I didn't go into it. The type of game I meant was one where your towers die of old age, as in they expire after a certain number of turns. Rather than just a game where they can die

Bloons TD3 started a very weird obsession when I was a child. I played around with it, until my 45 year old father decided to try it out. He still plays Bloons games to this day when he gets the chance, It warms my heart and really makes me smile when I see it.

Brother, thank you for this. Whether people have forgotten or reminisced on the older games, Bloons will forever be one of the most monumental games of all time. BTD 6 has some great stuff in it too that changes things up enough to where its amazing but still feels like the older ones. i think if you asked anyone who grew up in the 2000s if they knew what this game was, 99% of them would say yes!

[@cybercity9242]

The fact "You lose as many lives as the bloon had bloons inside it plus 1" is correct. If a blue bloon escapes, it has 1 bloon inside (a red one) so u lose 2 lives, 1 for the red one and one for the blue one. But it only has 1 bloon inside itself. The plus 1 comes from the phrasing that it only counts the ones INSIDE so the bloon itself is missing in the counting there.

The Anti-Bloon (sometimes referred to as just Anti-Bloon) is the 5th upgrade of Path 2 for the Super Monkey in Bloons TD 6. The Anti-Bloon heavily buffs the Tech Terror's activated ability and increases its base power considerably. The Annihilation ability now does 10,400 damage across a 120 range radius onto up to 2000 Bloons compared to the previous 2,500 damage, 70 range radius, and its ability cooldown decreases from 45s to 30s. The main attacks also gains +4 damage, has +5 pierce, +10 range, for a total of 5 damage, 14 pierce and 82 range. In addition, it now gains the normal damage type. With its ability or the Ultravision crosspath, The Anti-Bloon can pop Camo Bloons too. And lastly, critical hits are improved: the main attack's crits now occur every 13-17 shots instead of every 15-20 shots, and crits deal 50 damage instead of 10, making the damage per shot for a single target range between ~7.647 and ~8.461, with 8 being the average; and the critical 3rd ability usage equates to 15,600 damage. This upgrade costs $76,500 on Easy, $90,000 on Medium, $97,200 on Hard, and $108,000 on Impoppable. Appearance The Anti-Bloon is an entirely robotic monkey bearing massive gold-muzzled, light grey plasma cannons on each arm, with red fins on the muzzle and a red grill on each cannon. These cannons are fed by red tubes linking to its main body and head, which is a sinister dark grey color with ominous red lines on its torso. All its limbs are the same color, with its feet bearing red metal rings around the ankles, and the arms linking directly into its plasma launchers. The Anti-Bloon's head bears the same glowing red eyes as its predecessor, Tech Terror, though with bright lines around where the irises should be, and its mouth, previously bearing white teeth in a grim frown, is now a pair of jagged metal jaws hung open as it appears to be shouting something. The screws for the mouth hinge are clearly visible as well, and it also has a fairly substantial underbite owing to the fact much of its faceplate is sunken-in metal plating of a lighter color. Mechanics The Anti-Bloon massively improves every aspect of Tech Terror, with 5x base damage, (5 normally, 50 on a crit) +5 pierce, (14) +10 range, (82) Normal type damage, (pops any Bloon) and a buffed crit rate of every 13-17 shots. The Annihilation ability now deals 10,400 damage, has 2,000 pierce, and 120 range. Targeting Priorities The Anti-Bloon's main attack has two independently targeting attacks that each shoot projectiles. These projectiles move straightforwardly. First: Targets the first bloon visible within its range. Last: Targets the last bloon visible within its range. Close: Targets the closest bloon visible within its range. Strong: Targets the strongest bloon visible within its range. The Anti-Bloon, just like Robo Monkey, has a secondary targeting option called Alternate Arm, which allows for two simultaneous targeting priorities at any given time. This is controlled by a second targeting setting above the original targeting setting. However, both arms cannot be set on the same targeting priority, and one setting must be changed into a different priority before the other setting can be changed into the desired targeting priority. The Anti-Bloon's annihilation blast, while arbitrarily high, defaults on Close relative to the robot. The Anti-Bloon can access the Camo Prioritization targeting priority if given the 0-5-2 crosspath, which when set allows the The Anti-Bloon to prioritize Camo Bloons before any other bloon type. Summary The Anti-Bloon is an expensive option for dealing huge damage versus bloons of all types, with significantly stronger plasma bolts and provides it with a much stronger annihilation ability for wiping out many bloons across a wider scale. It is a very powerful single-tower option, but its price tag makes it unaffordable outside of large-scale farming. It is possible to purchase Anti-Bloon in a real CHIMPS game, but it is extremely expensive overall, and will likely only be purchasable by at least Round 92. In the extreme late-game (Rounds 101+), The Anti-Bloon only serves purpose as a required separate sacrifice for the Vengeful True Sun God, alongside Legend of the Night. Because its general DPS greatly diminishes in extremely high rounds, it is worth sacrificing The Anti-Bloon for a 2x strength True Sun God. Tips 2-5-0 Anti-Bloon serves as the superior crosspath due to the Plasma Blasts upgrade more than doubling the power of The Anti-Bloon. 0-5-2 Anti-Bloon is mostly restricted to specific challenges where it is impossible to grant the Anti-Bloon with external camo detection. Place the Anti-Bloon in a place where there is a lot of open space, as this will optimize its main power. Even though the Anti-Bloon's ability has an extremely large blast radius, place the Anti Bloon in an area where its range will cover lots of track, in order for its ability to deal damage at its greatest potential.

The Sand snowman in the Christmas Edition of Bloons 2 might be because Ninja Kiwi is an NZ company, and in NZ, Christmas happens at the same time as the rest of the world, but its seasons are the opposite of northern countries seasons due to hemisphere differences. So it might be a nod that in NZ, if you wanna make a snowman during Christmas you'd probably have to settle for using sand instead of snow

[@Human-hs8sp]

Yeah, Summer in the southern hemisphere. no Winter Christmas here. Sand 'snow'men are somewhat common on NZ beaches in December but I'm not sure about other southern hemisphere countries.
