Awesome New Features

• Full 2-4 player Co-op mode:
  
• Co-op mode unlocked at level 20 for all maps.
  
• 13 New Co-op achievements.
  
• Special Co-op badges.
  
• Quick and easy matching making lobbies to get you straight into the action!
  
• Want to play with friends? We gotchu covered fam. Share your lobby codes with your friends to invite them into the action!
  
• Two new maps:
  
  • Cargo - A brand new track with a brand new challenge, it’s freighteningly good.
  
  
  • Park Path - A trip down memory lane for some of you from another game with monkeys that we know and love.
  
  
• New Hero Skin: DJ Benjammin’.
  
• New Fireworks Theme & Collection Event.
  

Key Features

• Races have had a small rework which now adds a 0.2s delay between sending rounds. Multiple button presses will still queue up and release the rounds after this delay.
  
• Freeplay difficulty scaling and bloon groupings have had a massive rework to be considerably more difficult.
  
• 2 new options added to the challenge editor to spawn all Bloons & MOAB Children as ‘All Camo’ and/or ‘All Regrow’
  
• Towers should no longer ‘move slightly’ when you raise your finger, which would cause them to show valid placement while in a spot they couldn’t actually be placed
  
• Daily Chest rewards have been reworked to be overall a little more rewarding and varied
  
• Positioning towers has been improved. Towers will stay closer to the cursor/finger location to provide a more precise and smooth experience.
  
• General performance improvements.
  

Co-Op Specifics

• We took (many) months longer to get co-op working than originally planned but the goal from the outset was to keep simulation in sync so that we could do fun and competitive play when ready. Adding 4 player was super important to us to make the game more social, as well as the free-for-all placement areas. We appreciate your patience!
  
• Balance between fun factor and challenge is of course of supreme importance to us, so we had lots of discussion about heroes and tier 5s. We have allowed multiple heroes but xp is divided by number of players, so they advance more slowly. Each player can have their own tier 5s so no one gets locked out from their build choice by another player; eco is split fairly so progression is metered but multiple tier 5s of the same type are powerful, which is the core reason freeplay was toughened up.
  
• Private matches allow any platform to play with any other platform on the same version. Quick game matchmaker does try to create games between similar platform performance metrics first.
  
• Game input system was substantially revised. Mortar set target and Heli set patrol points now start with defaults and can be set from there. Tower portraits now need to be double tapped to get upgrade details (can’t single tap if already selected).
  
• Track relative positions were shifted slightly on some maps for co-op play: Pat’s Pond, Underground & End of the Road.
  
• Double Cash is not enabled in co-op currently - this is part technical and part fairness/fun. It is currently labelled single player only and we will be watching this with the community closely.
  
• Yes we intend to do races and challenges in co-op but these are not in this first release - that is another mountain of work, so thanks in advance for your patience there.
  

Bug Fixes & General Changes
