Key New Features
New Boss Bloon Blastapopoulos, the Demon of the Core has returned!
While in play, towers suffer from reduced range & ability cooldown rate.
Blastapopoulos passively burns off damaging effects applied to them, and has the Purple Bloon type property. Damage type enhancements can get around this as normal, but this doesn’t change projectile temperature!
Overheating! Most projectile hits heat up Blastapopoulos, with anything weak to purple (fire, lasers & plasma) increasing heat even more, so use these damage types at your own risk or bring along some Ice attacks to cool things back down! Whenever maximum heat is reached Blastapopoulos vents the excess, briefly stunning towers & increasing ability cooldowns then superheating the area for a short time, causing all projectiles to burn up faster than normal.
Skulls when triggered will fill up a portion of Heat, and spew out a number of Fireballs & Pyroclastic Rocks.
These Fireballs will target your towers & create debuffing pools of magma around their targets while the Pyroclastic Rocks land around Blastapopoulos to form impenetrable barrier rings around the boss until they expire
You’ll need to carefully manage your heat to avoid dire consequences!
New Awesome
New Advanced Map, Ancient Portal
Both ancient and modern, the portal has clearly moved this map through time, so they can easily shift Bloons from one path to another. With all of that energy at play, there is clearly explosive potential.

Game Changes / Additions
Co-op overhaul (Part 1)
We are currently going through a large overhaul of the co-op code, which will happen over multiple updates. This first phase is already showing us greatly improved average performance and cleaner game state handling.
Revamped in game store
We really felt it was time to make our store nicer and easier to engage with. Please browse at your leisure, with separate sections to more easily find what you’re looking for and improved display of visuals and descriptions.
Along with this we’ve added a couple brand new packs to check out
Fast Track Pack! A returning favorite from BTD5, with dynamic improvements!
When enabled, skip the first 25% of rounds for the current game. This scales to match how long the mode is, so for any 300 round custom challenge enjoyers out there you will now be able to skip the first 75!
Starting Cash is updated to reflect these skipped rounds
Starting Hero XP is updated to reflect these skipped rounds
Double Cash & Fast Track can now be enabled/disabled from the play screen
Available in most areas, however will still
