    The MOAB is a reference to the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal for whatever reason, also called the MOAB but meaning Mother Of All Bombs, it’s so big our conventional bombers can’t drop it, they literally push it out the back of a C130 or a C17

    I think part of the reason why NK updates old games so much is because they know fans of the old games preferred them quite a bit. A lot of companies will basically say "tough love" and force you into the new game, but as someone who spent a ton of time into BTD4 and didn't particularly enjoy BTD5 when it came out I really enjoyed this (original game offered only ninja monkey and a weird upgrade system over 4). Glad to see a company try their hardest to keep their fans happy

    Its pretty interesting seeing the new bloon types introduced throughout the series. The original lead balloon was added when the go to strat for 1 was to spam dart monkeys. Ceramics and MOABs introduce a barrier to pure piece towers, requiring to go into some things with more damage. We then see purples a lot later on to present a hazard to some of the more powerful magic and fire towers, now creating an incentive for a good mix of sharp and explosive/fire.

    I have played all the numbered ones except 6, I have 4 and 5 on my old ipad and I remember playing 1-3 at school, even my grade 2 teacher loved BTD 3

    Btd2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I've played growing up. Must've been about 13 when my uncle gave it to me in SWF format. Didn't have internet back then.

    I’m surprised you never talked about BTD4’s track editor mode. I wish it came back!

    Can’t believe you forgot about the super monkey game, that’s arguably the best one.
