BTD7: Planet of the Apes

BTD7: Planet of the Apes is a game in the Bloons TD series. It is a crossover of BTD6 (the official version), Meta07's BTD6, and War for the Planet of the Apes.

This game is part of the TOTMGsRock Trilogy, with the other being BTD Heroes and Quincy: A BTD Story, both of which are upcoming prequels.

The story of the game is associated with a dimensional convergence event between the Planet of the Apes universe, the offical Bloons timeline, and Meta07's Bloons timeline.

New features
The new features include:
 * Gwendolin, Quincy, Striker Jones, Obyn Greenfoot, and Captain Churchill return.
 * New heroes based off Planet of the Apes characters: Caesar, Cornelius, Lake, Maurice, Rocket, and "Bad Ape".
 * Pioneer Original returns in BTD7PotA from Bloons Tower Defense Impersonation. Credits to Shiverpeace
 * Mortar Tower, Monkey Engineer, and Dartling Gun return from Bloons Monkey City.
 * Having upgrades in 3 paths such as 2/2/6 or 2/6/2 is now possible.
 * New Tier 6 upgrades, such as Blue Sun God and Lord of Darkness.
 * New maps based off of locations in the rebooted Planet of the Apes series.
 * Heroes can now become Level 25.
 * New blimps, such as Alpha-Omega Blimp, M.A.U.S. (Upgraded version of P.A.N.Z.E.R.), B.A.N.E., and T.R.O.L.L.
 * New Story Mode that alternates between tower defense and first person shooter gameplay depending on the chapter. Can only be unlocked after finishing the first four Tracks on the typical Track Mode on Easy.
 * Some of Meta07's BTD6 towers added, such as Shield Generator and Hypno Monkey.
 * Regen Farming is possible (in fact, later in the game it's a MUST!!)

Towers
Like BTD6, all towers have 3 upgrade paths and 6 upgrades per path. Only one path can be maxed. You can have 6/2/2 towers or 2/2/6 towers exist, unlike BTD6. Each Tier 6 upgrade can only be occupied by 1 tower (which is very unfortunate because you can't spam 6/2/2 Super Monkeys lol).

Artwork comes from BMC and BTD6 because I'm not so good at creating monkeys from scratch (especially THE HANDS!!). I'm better at modifying pre-existing images. Credits to Shiverpeace for Pioneer Original.

Comparison to the different BTD series
The other BTD series portrayed most Bloons as mindless en-masse drones that attack Monkeys. BTD7PotA, however, portrays them in a much darker picture: a race of homicidal inflatable killers whose existential purpose is to annihilate the Monkey race.

Track Mode
This is the typical mode where you choose the track and difficulty and gain rewards after certain rounds.

Easy
"On Easy, towers cost less than normal, the bloons move a little slower, and you have 200 lives. Recommended for inexperienced players or those wanting to get to Freeplay as fast as possible.

Medium
"On Medium, the towers cost the normal amount, and you have 150 lives. Recommended for players with some form of BTD experience."

Hard
"On Hard, the towers cost more than normal, the bloons move faster, and you have 100 lives. Not for the faint of heart."

Impoppable
"For those who thought Hard was Easy! Impoppable will test your Bloon popping skills to the max, with extremely fast and powerful bloons, impossibly expensive towers, and you only have 1 life. Good luck, 'CAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Sandbox
BTD7's Sandbox Mode is very similar to the official BTD6, with the only difference being that more Bloons are available and spawning certain bosses is possible (only after defeating them in the Story Mode on Medium or above, of course!)

Story Mode
BTD7: Planet of the Apes has a brand new Story Mode of which the gameplay shifts between the typical tower-defense and first-person/third-person shooter (you can choose between first and third person view). In the FPS parts, the Bloons wield weapons, such as rifles and machetes. Blimps, such as MOABs and BFBs, fire bullets and missiles at you. Usually, you play as Quincy or Gwendolin, but on certain chapters you play as other heroes (such as Cornelius or Captain Churchill in tank battles), and in one chapter you play as the Myth of the Shadows (2/2/6 Super Monkey)! In the tower-defense parts of Story Mode, the Hero you play as can be placed on the map for free. Bosses appear on the Story Mode a bit later in the game, and many of them can be spawned on Sandbox after you defeat them on Medium or above.

Easy
"Casually operate with impunity and annihilate Bloons with ease."

Medium
“You face firm resistance from competent, determined Bloons, but nerves of steel and a quick trigger finger give you a solid chance to prevail.”

Hard
''“Bloons are as numerous as they are ferocious. You'll need to use every skill you've learned to survive.''

Impoppable
"Overwhelming hordes of indestructible dirigibles hunt you down mercilessly around every corner, punishing a single misstep with instant death, over and over again."

Impoppable is now a separate difficulty instead of being part of Hard.

CHIMPS
CHIMPS is now a part of Impoppable instead of Hard.

Trivia

 * The descriptions of Story difficulties are similar to those of games from the Halo series.
 * It is highly unlikely that so many companies would work together on a single game.
 * Rocket giving cookies is a reference to the scene in Rise of the Planet of the Apes where Caesar instructs Rocket to give cookies to the other apes in the San Bruno Primate Shelter.
 * Cornelius throwing ALZ-113 containers is a reference to Caesar making all of his apes smarter in the shelter with said canisters.
