See, this is why game preservation is important.
This game is defunct.
Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down (as of April 30, 2022). As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.
Hmmm...
To do:
  • Version differences
    • In an update, the towers(like the monkey buccaneer) on the title screen were made bigger.

This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Bloons TD Battles is another spinoff of a spinoff of the Bloons series that takes an interesting approach with Bloons TD 5's gameplay, combining tower defense with player vs player combat. The monkeys also finally use bloons for something other than popping them(Sorry Hot Air Bloon). May the opposer be deflated!

A mobile version was released on July 18, 2013, which became significantly more popular than this version. Probably due to the fact that it never released anywhere other than the Ninja Kiwi website.

Unused Graphics

My Profile Screen

Initial Later
BTDB-ProfileOld.png ProfileBTDB.png

A very unfinished profile screen can be found in the files, with a close button next to it. It seems this game was originally going to have a profile screen similar to its mobile counterpart, where it showed info of the player(ranks, total games, achievements, etc). But the final game uses the Ninja Kiwi account system for this instead.

Despite being unused, it was changed in the game's redesign update.

Hidden A-Game Graphic

A-GamePlaceA.png A-GamePlaceB.png

The map A-Game has crudely drawn words off-screen, seemingly saying "left top" and "right top".

Turbo Charge

Like Bloons Monkey City and Bloons TD 5, the Boomerang Thrower has unique art for its Turbo Charge upgrade. Despite existing in the files since launch, these graphics have gone completely unused, as, for unknown reasons, this upgrade instead uses the same graphics as the Bionic Boomer. These were later restored in BTD5 Deluxe, however.


Match Options Panel

Initial Later

A panel under the battle screen for match options. What options you could've selected is unknown, but like the "My Profile" graphic, it got updated in the redesign despite being unused.


Unused Code

Kongregate

The game has files implying that it was once going to appear on Kongregate, a flash game platform. Bloons TD 5 and Bloons Monkey City are on Kongregate, so why BTD Battles isn't is a mystery. Files include a gateway(Kong_Gateway), the login system(Kong_LoginSystem), and the store(Kong_Store). This game also refers to kongregate.com as a sitelock like the regular sitelock, ninjakiwi.com

There is even a Kongregate API key for the game!:9d339ab4-e3ce-468e-bcf0-0003d09b9cd6

Placeholders for the Health bar names. Both names were changed in a later version, presumably to usernames of Ninja Kiwi developers. It probably felt more professional that way.

This placeholder text for buying things with medallions however, cannot be so easily explained as to why it changed...

Oddities

  • The sending bloons button is internally called the noobbutton.
