Key Notes and Other New Features
- Double Cash mode will now apply in co-op mode for players who own it!
- Odyssey Notes:
- Odyssey has been a long time coming - we wanted to make it as variable and customizable as possible at launch, with extensible systems that allow it to evolve update to update; thanks, awesomer community, for your requests and patience!
- Trophy rewards do not stack from difficulty to difficulty - the 50 Trophies from Hard difficulty is the maximum, so if you play Easy and win 15, then play Medium which has a 25 Trophy base reward, you will only get the 10 Trophy delta between those two reward levels
- Badge stars also do not stack - the 5 stars from Hard is the maximum per Odyssey; we made both of these design calls so players do not feel compelled to play all 3 Odysseys to maximize rewards or bragging rights - play all 3 only if you’ll have fun doing that!
- Powers can be purchased in-game up to the value that you put into your Crew loadout; for instance, you don’t have to have 5 Supermonkey Storms to allocate 5 to your Crew loadout and doing that gives you the option to buy up to that Crew allocated number if you find that you need them
- A few things that work differently for Odyssey - no freeplay, no replays of completed maps or difficulties, and no co-op; our goal was to keep Odyssey purely focused on challenging, multi-map, single-player adventures - then evolve from there
- Trophy Store Notes:
- Trophy Store has also been a long time coming, ever since we introduced Trophies in Races - some of you knew they’d be good for something!
- Races and Odysseys are the only way to obtain Trophies in the game
- We started with a wide range of Store items so that any stockpiled Trophies could be put to good use, but for all but the top Racers there should be plenty of items to go after
- Intent is to offer a smaller set of new Trophy Store items with most Updates
- We look forward to your feedback about which items you’d like to see more of!
- Remember you can mute co-op emotes if you are tired of seeing (and hearing!) them
- The Bloon skins currently only apply to the base blimps and don't affect any fortified versions
- Named Monkeys Notes:
- This Trophy Store item allows players to name the first monkey of each tower type
- Once named you can see certain related stats for that particular monkey
- The named monkey is always the first monkey of that tower type placed in a game and will continue to track lifetime stats even if you change the name
- Heroes cannot be named and subsequent monkeys of a given tower type cannot be named
- In relation to both Odyssey reward values and player feedback on Race rewards, we have increased the top Race Trophy rewards and included a new Top 50 category for more granularity between the Top 1% and the Top 3
- The Hero Booster IAP has been removed, and instead has been replaced with an option to boost your current hero up to level 10 for a Monkey Money cost. The price of this item will be reduced if you already have levels on your hero, and is not available after level 10
- Towers should now record separate Damage and Cash counters & many will display both of these values in the UI now and we’ll look into adding trickier cash counting cases in future updates
