Now you can enjoy those trips to the doctor’s waiting room with BTD in your pocket!
This is live in New Zealand at this point and probably Australia. It looks like the release date of Oct 3rd means a literal rollout at 12am through the territories!
Southern hemisphere win!

Here’s one for all you old schoolers – Wizard Smash: “One wizard’s quest to rid the land of a curse by hitting it in the face”
Controls:
Movement: arrow keys
Swing mace: arrow keys
Mace control mode: z
Jump: x
Exit door: down arrow
Mechanics:
It’s a pretty standard retro platformer, except the player has no attack and is instantly killed when touching an enemy or enemy projectile from any direction. In order to attack, you need to swing the dispel mace into an enemy. This is primarily done by positioning, since the mace is always orbiting freely around the wizard.
The levels are randomly generated on every playthrough, and a simplified AI director is responsible for positioning enemies.
The green bar at the top is your progress through the evil keep, which goes up when you’re going the right way and down when you’ve been forced to backtrack (IE hit an enemy). As it fills up, special enemies become more frequent. When it hits 8 full boxes, there will be a boss battle, but that’s not in there yet 
The red bar is the final boss’ HP. It’s always displayed, since it only goes back up if you’ve been forced to backtrack a lot. Of course this is all speculation at this point
Enemies:
Hench Toast: toaster minions. Will either march back and forth or shoot burnt toast in your direction.
Hatba: Flying hats that swoop around
Lampet: Lamps that hang off the ceiling and shoot lightning
Zombies: Spawn in large groups and march towards the player, jumping over short obstacles.
Monkey air raids: A swarm of winged monkeys flies across the screen. The top and bottom row of walkable tiles are guaranteed to be safe from monkeys.
The wicked witch of the worst: The witch that made the curse! Casting fire magic makes her lower her shield for a few seconds.
This is a difficult and unforgiving platformer with a lot of humor. The game regularly feeds you little gems like “expect to die a lot” and it’s true.
Play Wizard Smash on Ninja Kiwi now!

This week we’re proud to bring you a really sweet new action RPG game. Vertical Drop Heroes offers up the perfect blend of RPG with the “falling down a big hole” genre.
In the game you start out as a regular Joe but you “rescue” heroes locked in cages (stamp on them to smash through and free). As you do this your character will take on the class of the hero you freed. There are 5 different classes that are free-able but releasing heroes of the same class as you are currently will allow you to level up that class making you more resilient and more powerful.
Completing levels (getting to the exit) allows you to progress as well as unlock new character masks. In addition there are 30 different magical artifacts and 3 gameplay modes including, wait for it, multiplayer (shared keyboard) which is exceptionally fun 
Trust me, play Vertical Drop Heroes now!

We are proud to announce another Ninja Kiwi game on the iTunes app store!
Bloons Super Monkey was a massive hit on the web and now it’s available for iPhone, iPad and iTouch on the iTunes app store. Use your finger on the touch screen to move Super Monkey around to pop as many bloons per wave as possible. As with the web game, each bloon releases power blops that can be collected and spent on powerful upgrades for your Super Monkey.
Can you pass all 15 waves?
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:56 pm

October 2nd, 2009 at 8:31 pm
That’s what chris said. Somone who has bought it please tell. (Jeremy)
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Yes i need to wait about 20 more mins and im gettin it and playin for hours
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Finally, and I’m the first to download in the U.S.!!!!!!
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Chris, things that need to be fixed.
1. Should be a way to put multiple multiple tacks, glue, or pinnapples.
2. The towers are way to close. I’m contantly putting glue down instead of tacks.
3. Should be an option to hide the towers. Some maps they get in the way of the path.
Please try to fix these. Overall, an ok game
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:16 pm
*2. I mean the tower type list.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I mean 3. Lol sorry
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 am
Yes I agree with all of them. But overall. It’s ok. There needs to be an update to fix these soon or people will not buy the game.
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:38 am
I think i might of been first to buy, anyway i’m at level 82 on hard on the first level is it suppose to be easy or i’m i just better at this one? i got only super monkey practically everywhere
October 3rd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Chris, here’s a tip, in. Setting you can have an option shake to next round and you can turn it off and on. Because somtimes I’m waiting for money to uprade and I’m on the tower ready to upgrade it and I have to leave the tower settings to start each round. Also for being able to drob mire than 1 tack, pinapple, or glue you can make it so when you put it down you tap for the amount you want to drop, then drop it in the garbage to put it away. These would make the game a lot better. But I relized that I was really bad at the game because everytime I play on the computer I just put like 50 tacks down to get the last few.(which is a lot when I play) John, can you give me a tip because sometimes I can’t even win easy. Thanks
October 3rd, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Along with what Justin said about the tower lists, I think the price should come down. Honestly, why would I pay $3 for a game I can play for free online? I understand the want/need of money from it, but it seems kinda high in my opinion at least. Should be $1 like the normal bloons game I think, and maybe a free version like the normal bloons as well.
October 3rd, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Orange, think about it, 3$ comparred to 70$ for a xbox game and I would much rather play this then some of those. You would pay 3$ for a free online game because now you can play it anywhere without Internet connection. Sorry for answering do you Chris, but you would probably say the same thing. I finnally figured your how to play Well and I just had about 20 super monkeys but still lost level 69.
October 3rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
And the bloons game used to be 3, you never know what will happen. Even if it goes down, I won’t mind. It was worth the money
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Please chris fix the spike thing
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:16 pm
What do you mean spike thing? The road tacks 25$ for 10 pops? Btw I got to round 86 on easy and the whole map was filled with super plasma monkeys and no spots left. And I had about 200000$
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:18 pm
(Oh god. This turned into a wall of text. Sorry.)
Justin,
First, who said I buy Xbox games, let alone at $70(They release at $60 =p). Second, that’s like comparing apples to oranges. Sure they’re both fruit(or in our case, games), but they are very different. Don’t get me wrong, I love BTD and is better than a good majority of Xbox, PS3, and Wii games, but also many games from those systems are better than it too. Flash games and console games are very different in terms of content and amount of it. But we really shouldn’t be discussing this.
It is just my opinion that for a simple flash game that isn’t really something to be played all the time, unless your an addict or are in some sort of competition or record breaking deal or whatever, and so the $3 investment to play it anywhere isn’t really worth it. Especially with the vast majority of decent free games. At least when I think about it in my life, there aren’t many times where I’m sitting around doing nothing where I don’t have access to a computer to play it online. I’m almost willing to bet a lot of people are in the same boat.
However, i do REALLY enjoy this game, and in those few moments of downtime, I would like to play it. But even having a free version of it would be nice even if it was only say, 25 levels, easy only, and one map.
Also, I’m jobless and just plain cheap =/.
Just my, really long, 2 cents.
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Just by complete chance, I switch to the iPhone this Monday, and I can’t wait to be able to try the game myself!
October 4th, 2009 at 8:24 am
Seems like a very good port, but a bit too direct for my tastes. I can understand not adding towers or tower upgrades, since you obviously don’t want to change the fine balance that exists in the Flash game, but I would have enjoyed a more in-depth system for unlocking stuff; as things are now, there is no in-game bonus for doing anything beyond a bronze medal on nine total maps to unlock the final Classic 2 map pack.
October 4th, 2009 at 10:28 am
Didn’t want to start a fight orange. Sorry. I was just saying that 3$ isn’t that much money for a great game. Sorry
October 4th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
yea orange you threw things way out of proportion. justin never said ANYTHING about you buying xbox games. just chill
October 4th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Oh my. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to sound like I’m angry or fighting or anything. Text kinda does that sometimes, sorry. Just wanted to have a fun little debate or something you know? Nothing serious or to get bent of of shape for. Again, I’m sorry.
October 4th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Any one know when it will be released in Singapore? Been searching for it but I cant find it
October 5th, 2009 at 6:29 am
That’s ok orange. Redford. It should be there. Type bloons TD or digital goldfish or go to Twitter.com/bloonsiphone or Twitter.com/ninjakiwi Both sites have links, use ur iPhone/iPod to go to those websites
October 6th, 2009 at 1:25 am
Will it be released in other countries? It’s not available in Taiwan Store.
I’m really like this game.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Nope, still nothing. Why aren’t apps release worldwide on the same day??? Stupid
October 6th, 2009 at 10:56 am
-KChen, I’m not sure what Apple is up to there. All I can say is I’m as hopeful as you!
October 7th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
This would be awesome! if i had an iphone =(
October 8th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Hey Chris, for the iPod touch version of btd, I get the beacon and buy the super monkey airstrike thing. But everytime I click on it, it gives me a description about it, but it doesn’t let me use it. I do have enough money for it too. Please help
October 8th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
problems:
1. icons too close together or something. keep trying to grab tacks but get glue…
2. gets laggy and crashes around level 80…
3. around level 95, the game becomes impossible to play due to frequent crashes. these crashes are mostly due to the “super monkey storms”
suggestions:
put a clock in there somewhere, please. i mean, you’ve got EVERYTHING, except a clock! i play this game at school and i need a clock to tell when it’s time to pack up. maybe in the pause menu?
congratulations:
you made a very addicting game!
My personal achievement: Level 98. BEAT THAT!!!
October 9th, 2009 at 8:17 am
Still not release in Singapore, seriously u are losing money by not releasing here.
October 17th, 2009 at 11:55 am
thaddeus0518, I got level 100 and gave up. My 3Gs iPhone only crashed twice.
October 17th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
i got to level 101
October 17th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
BEAT THAT!!!!!!!!!!
October 17th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
level 116 now… still going for 150!
October 19th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
That game was really easy than online cause I got 10 or 13 super monkeys and I went up to level 70.
Really cool game I liked it
October 20th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
thaddeus0518 – about the tacks, it helps if u touch them and drag directly to the left instead of touching them and dragging down and left. and with the super monkey storms, if u think u might need one on that level, drag it out to the screen but dnt let go. Then, when u want to use it, just let go.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:53 pm
It keeps crashing on the 4 starting to 1 end track in beach, it crashes at level 119
otherwise it is amazing barely any lag!! fun!! someone try to beat level 19 
October 24th, 2009 at 4:48 am
can’t wait yippeeee
October 29th, 2009 at 7:48 pm

November 3rd, 2009 at 12:58 am
Will there be A bloons 4 for iPod touch and if there is can u plez make one really soon I got so many friends about to buy iPod touch and it’s the first app I’m telling them to download
November 5th, 2009 at 12:51 am
Game lags so much at lvl 75+. My screen is pretty much filled with super monkeys with plasma and full range (medium difficulty, it costs 13,900 for full upgrades if you’re wondering). I’m at 85 and getting bored, each level takes too long.
November 5th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I’m on level 117 right now and holding my ground……yeah it lags alot but im poppin like close to 2000 bloons a second…..got almost 8 million, around 60 super monkeys and like 20 rocket launchers…..im loving this….when i die im gonna be pissed though…what’s the high level record on this?
November 13th, 2009 at 4:19 am
I am on level 121 Medium, with 6 million and a screen full of super monkeys and beacons. about 10 of the monkeys have 0 pops because I have so many monkeys the balloons get popped about 25% of the way through the path.
2 issues – the performance sucks with all the monkeys flying, it literally crawls and I am at a point where I am pretty sure I will never lose.
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:23 am
Game gets wicked laggy at 200(my highest level so far)
November 26th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
troy ur so dumb. thats what we are talking about. the game came out a few MONTHS ago dumbass.
November 30th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
When I get an Ipod touch for the holidays i’m gonna get this game, and on the online one i have all the medals except for the expert one!
December 20th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I am playing on my 3rd gen iPod touch the 32 gb model and am on level 130 on the circular map on hard. Each round takes me about fifteen minutes cause the blimps keep coming. The entire map is super monkeys fully upgraded. Since I’m on 3rd gen the lag is minimal, and as I am jailbroken u can see that I am using all bit bout 10 mb of the 256 undedicayed RAM. Over all I love this game and it is worth the cost.
December 26th, 2009 at 8:40 am
ok well right now im at round 101
and i have a screen full of supermonkeys totaly upgraded. and im beasting it up and its on the beach track on easy first track and they cant get by the third turn.
January 3rd, 2010 at 3:29 am
thaddeus0518 good work I got to level 104 with $3,500,000 and the whole screen was filled with fully leveled up and so many super monkeys I couldn’t fit any more on but it lags heaps with super monkey storm but there are soo many fuckin bloon carrier things. And I agree with you Bernie mac, the levels do take too long .
January 5th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
I got it and it ROCKS…. so worth 2.99…
January 5th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
dang Brandon no wonder u were up till 3am…
January 13th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
I’m at level 127 now with 10.9 million!
January 29th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Not buying until Bloons TD 4 update.
February 25th, 2010 at 11:34 am
This is a good game, got bored of it though but well worth the money, Im in the U.K it costs £1.79 in Great British Pounds which is $2.99,
BTW will there another one? theres a bloons tower defece 4. and i dont know if youve herd of this but there is also a ‘bloons super monkey’ which is a great game. thier both online flash games would any of these be on ipod soon ???? if there is im willing to pay up to £3.00 ($5.50 approx) for one of these, please reply
February 25th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
We’re definitely hoping to get both on the ipod/iphone this year. It’s a pretty packed year though!
February 26th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
My ipod touch 1G is a main iPod, Pda and way more, as well as has long been ever since I received it. It still operate the most recently released iPod system software, and also any iphone app I want it to run. I’m using it to leave this remark at this time. It’s safe to point out you’ll find it a much more as compared with just an “excellent hobbyist system” — it can be an good iPod
April 19th, 2010 at 5:45 am
Hey Chris i hope you are putting BTD 4 on the ipod touch i know how hard and long making a game can be and it must be hard making the game work with the ipod/ iphone but i think it would be cool if you made a new character only one the ipod and iphone to get more fans to buy. And i think players would love to make their own levels on BTD 4 would be mad
I only payed $1.20 australian money for the BTD but i think it was way worth more. i just hope you make BTD 4 on the ipod touch as well not just the phone.
By the keep up the good work with your other bloons games.
April 19th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
im on level 107 wooowhooh
April 20th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I have all plasma monkeys and beacons, over 50 million, and level 253. Win
April 29th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Anyone have advice on passing the snow levels on hard? Seem to be stuck on level 41-42ish.
June 18th, 2010 at 12:22 am
By far my favorite app, so worth the 2.99$ I am currently in the 100′s with the whole map on super monkies, and luckily no crashes. Is 150 the max level?
July 2nd, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Can anyone tell me the max lvl you can get to is and if it’s continuos wat the record
