Deflation Mode

"This next round coming up will seperate the strong from the weak."

- Round 42 Pre-Round Comment, not whole quote

Deflation Mode is a special mode introduced in Bloons TD 4 Expansion and it has also come to Bloons TD 5. It is an endurance mode. In Deflation Mode you start out with 50,000 money, but popping bloons won't give you money. Banana Farms are disabled. No income is given off at the end of a round, despite the roundly comment saying "????? Money Awarded". You will not be able to get any additional money during the game, making this mode extra hard. Cash Injection, the Monkey Town upgrade for the Monkey Village, and the Supply Drop upgrade for the Sniper Monkey are all disabled. Not being able to get any more cash will really cripple players, so this mode is only for people who are good at Bloons Tower Defense 5, or know what they're doing. This also helps put the fine line between the strong and the weak. This mode is not recommended if you don't have high XP on your towers.
