Elements like what? They do an amazing job at not forcing micro transactions, and the bloons gameplay loop is all the same just with more content and stuff to do
I've got 100k MM and I've never bought any with real money
Well there’s also microtransactions in 5, which is why I didn’t mention that. It’s mostly just me yearning for the older style of simple flash game that doesn’t really exist anymore. 1-3 are pretty dated at this point, I just feel like 4/5 were in that sweet spot where they started polishing up the old classic style. 6 feels very polished, so it’s probably a bit of cognitive dissonance on my part as well in comparing it to the originals.
thats an interesting perspective, I do love coming back to 5 occasionally to relive all the hours I put into it. ive been with 6 since launch though and have grown to absolutely adore everything about it, and overpowers nostalgia to me
