Altitude#
|
|
To do: |
While the game only has four worlds, data exists for a fifth world named "Altitude", which was intended to take place after Mount Magma.
The world is very unfinished: it doesn't have a world map image or sound effect, there's no designated music for it (all its stages use the music from Monkey Lane instead, but there is music on bandcamp which was named Sky Space to be rumored, link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3Y0PN2MOZs), some stage backgrounds are missing, and only the first two stages were designed. Stages 3, 4, and 5 simply copy the Bloon formations from Stage 2.
None of these levels have defined score targets for Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond trophies, so they use the default values instead (700, 1200, 1500, and 2000, respectively).
Stage 1#
Watch on YouTubeSeems to be mostly complete, though it is rather unpolished. This is the longest stage in the game, taking over 3 minutes to complete, and would be one of the most difficult stages to get the Diamond trophy on due to the bizarre patterns and the Bloons that persistently "rain" down over every part of the screen throughout the level.
Stage 2#
Watch on YouTubeVery incomplete. Compared to the previous stage, there are fewer Bloons in general, their formations are much more forgiving, the stage abruptly ends after about 2 minutes, and its background is a copy of the background for Stage 1 (presumably a placeholder, as all maps in the final game each have their own backgrounds). The stage mainly features swarms of Bloon "dragonflies" that fly around the screen, though some of them get stuck in the top-left corner due to their paths not being set.
Notably, this stage features Coco Bloons, which are otherwise unused.
Coco Bloon#
A Bloon that looks like... a coconut? It only appears in the aforementioned Altitude Stage 2. It has 20 HP, but like Shielded Bloons, it "absorbs" extra pierce from projectiles as damage. It has no child Bloons; like Red Bloons, it releases Blops when popped instead.
Unused Graphics#
Altitude Backgrounds#


Background images for Altitude when running the game in software ("low-quality") mode. While all other worlds use one background for all 5 of their stages in software mode, Altitude has three backgrounds, presumably because it was necessary in order to convey that each level takes place at a different... well, altitude.
Login Screen#
The game is set to show this screen after the first login button on the first login screen is pressed, but for whatever reason, it never shows. It is not known how this can be enabled. The message shown here is the same as the login screens of Battle Panic and Bloons TD 5.
A similar screen is unused in Bloons Monkey City.
Background Objects#

A Temple of the Monkey God. It's eyes are supposed to open as the player passes by them. It was supposed to appear in the Monkey Lane zone.
A Dartling Gun-like monkey driving a Dune Buggy with its Gun on top. It was supposed to appear in the Bloon Dunes zone.
Assets for the previously mentioned scrapped Altitude zone.
Obscured Powerup/Hint Icons#
Some powerups and the Dr. Monkey Hint graphic have rough icons behind their sprites.

Is much rougher, has thicker outlines, and closely resembles its design from Bloons TD 5.
Unused Text#
This is the hints body.
Placeholder for the hints.
Unused Code#
Date Stamp#
DATE_STAMP = "20120712.13.49.43"
A build date, which would seem to suggest that the game started development on July 12th, 2012, roughly a year before it would release.
Bloon Behaviors#
CreateFromBitmap#
CreateFromBitmap is a function that allows for groups of Bloons to be generated from bitmaps. However, this system is only used to create the formations of "fruits" that appear at the beginning of the unused Altitude Stage 2, which leaves both this system and these wonderful drawings of fruits unused by extension.
