Also, just a small note to our awesome community; Some of these changes/updates are a starting point to address some of the issues letting games between very skilled players to always run to late game. New, faster maps in Zen Garden and updated Hot Tub, a new way to rush opponents on round 24 and a nerf to 3 of the upgrades that are most popular and powerful for their cash cost (see balance changes above). In order to address questions and feedback about new features and balance changes, we’ve added more explanatory notes in hopes that the context is helpful. As always, we're happy to hear your feedback on the updates and on the context we provide!
Now, get back to popping those bloons! :battlescool:
