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. Only Rounds 101+ are affected.
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 Specific Balance Changes[]

The BTD6 app will synchronize Co-Op Mode gaming progress every so often, particularly for 4-Player Mode. In some cases, the game may intentionally paused and/or refreshed every so often, in order to synchronize the Co-Op server.
Multiple Heroes may be placed, but XP Points are divided among each player's Hero.
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 moderated.
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.
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. Ninja Kiwi will be watching the community closely on their feedback in regards to Double Cash in Co-Op.
Co-Op Races and Co-Op Challenges are planned but these are not in this first release. They will plan to add those two later on.

Bug Fixes and General Changes[]

Added 'Half-touch' functionality. When the UI is open for a selected tower, tap and hold on the base of the tower to hide the UI and fully display any targets and or range it has. This functions for all towers but mainly applies to Mortar Targets, Advanced Intel Subs, Snipers & Heli Patrol Points as you will be able to see their targeting option.
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).
'Line of Sight' has been removed as an enable/disable from the options menu.
Resolved an issue with blowback/distraction effects which could cause bloons to become untargetable.
Resolved some maps still displaying an Easter theme after the event's end.
Resolved an issue where Half Cash Mode only applied until round 80.
Canceling the placement of Insta Monkeys will now function correctly.
Resolved some lag issues with Races when sending lots of rounds together.
Fixed some issues with blocking and removable objects on Rake, Peninsula, Tree Stump & Off The Coast.
Fixed an issue causing sub-towers to not have their names translated.
Fixed some sandbox options not being translated.
Dragging a tower off the top of the screen should no longer sometimes cause it to jump to the center of the screen.
Fixed an issue with Big Bloons mode sometimes causing towers to become enlarged.

Profile saves containing any invalid Insta-Monkeys should now remove them rather than becoming corrupted.
