Why not make the hotkeys same as from the ninjakiwi.com version?

The reason for this is because players on Steam can be matched with mobile players in quick matches, so we don't want to give an unfair advantage to those using Steam :)

Considering it would be somewhat simpler, are hackers going to be a problem in this version?

hey sam are the bloon sending hotkeys going to be in there? and if not can you guys at least make that you can press and hold? it's sooo annoying that we have to press every single time and with the mobile phone, you can press much faster then with a mouse on a p.c.

you can report hackers. also, there is something called hacker pool, in there only hackers/some people that were reported for no reason (some people are just stupid and report people that are not hackers) so don't worry about hackers

Probably. I've seen a ton of hackers on td5 steam when they're broadcasting to everyone.
But remember, this game has the hacker pool system.

I'll pass on that feedback :)
If we're not getting hotkeys to send bloons, can we atleast customize our own hotkeys for towers and stuff?

sam,can you add that tab button also scrolls through tower's targetting?

The hotkeys are fairly uniform just now, 1 for your first tower, 2 for the second... etc, so we've no plans to make it customisable :)

It just feels awkward having to stretch my hand to press the 1-5 keys rather than the asdfg keys :/

So, you won't be adding chat, you won't be adding bloonsendshotkeys and you won't balance the towers to be more equally used as in flash, I don't see any reason to play this version rather than flash... The reason to play mobile would be that you don't have access to the PC or just want some veriety as NK havn't updated the game for well over a year, I honestly think you don't care for your community, koth is dying because of the lack of updates and there's no reason to play qb as there is no good players there as probably 97% of all the videos on YT are people overreacting, not explaing the game well and playing on mobile where there honestly for the most part is much less strategy involved as you can't micro, only use 3 towers and the game doesn't ramp up fast enough, so if you don't go all-in you might have to sit there for 3 hours to win the game...
My advice is just to go for a new BTD game rather than doing all of this as you basicly waste your time and effort as there really isn't much to add, and the things you do add still doesn't make much sense, why don't you have a sandbox mode where you can test out all your towers or some other kind of singleplayer, tleast on flash where dissconnection is the reason people can't get far, why don't you just add these simple really useful things for new and experianced players, it doesn't seem that difficult and if you want to be making new games, do something that people will like, don't just throw some stupid ideas out there without thinking first. For example, spending all of your time and effort on tower keepers rather than updating flash battles or even getting btd6/btdb2 just doesn't seem right and yes I do know you work in different team, but still...
As you can probably tell I'm in a bad mood, but seriosly, just do something for the community that have followed you for years, just do something, once...
