Jump to search
The Bloons Card Storm Full Playable test, also known as version 0.8, was the second beta test for Bloons Card Storm, following the Firstlook test. It was released as a software update for the Firstlook build on Steam on 20 August 2024[1] and was available for both Windows and macOS. This build introduced new cards and a new Hero, deck-building, currencies, and quests, and included balance changes, updated graphics, and changes to the Adventure mode. Duel mode was available from 20 August 2024 to 30 August 2024 (later extended to 11 September 2024),[2] and it could be played offline at any time until all pre-release Steam keys were revoked on 26 September 2024.[3]
There are two builds of the Full Playable test: build 144 and build 177. The latter was released as an update on 27 August 2024[4] and introduced bug fixes and balance changes.

This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Add card artwork comparison. (On another note, is it worth the card artwork comparison changes directly on the card page itself if the Version History is going to be so close to the Gallery section?) |
- Updated card artwork
- Modifier / description changed ― "Monkey Cards cost 1 Gold extra to play." → "Bloons gain +5 Health."
- Extra starting Gold reduced ― 3 → 2
Build 177
[edit | edit source]“
Dart Monkey is in a tricky spot because of limited monkey spots and deck slots there are almost always better options. Making it cost 0 to play will hopefully encourage it being added to some decks as an early defense.

We love the potential of Spike, especially in Dart Monkey combo decks, but at 5 cost it’s just too difficult to get into play and start ramping its’ AP.

Boomer was actually designed as Reload 2 but Reload 1 somehow slipped into the Full Playable test. 80 DPT with 160 on play was always going to be too strong for 6 gold, so we’ve reverted it to the intended Reload 2. Still should be a strong pick for that initial burst.

Ricochet is an Ultra Rare and as such should be an impactful card, but it’s a little too powerful at the moment and easy to use. Switching reload to 2 will mean you’ll want to time your glaive bursts more.

Not seeing play beyond theory crafting yet, but the reload is way too long. Further buffs might come but not for this patch!

The value of setting things on fire wasn’t properly being considered with Burny Stuff, and the sheer efficiency of 80 damage per turn + possible ongoing damage is a little too much for 4 cost. We considered playing with the reload time here but didn’t want to try anything too drastic at this point. Even at 40 AP this will still represent great value.

At 2 cost, Mortar Monkey is ever so slightly too efficient, and the random downside is not offsetting that enough to matter.

Much like Spike, there’s potential with the Wizard but it scales too slowly. Starting it out slightly higher so it doesn’t take as many turns to feel strong.

Yellows are ever so slightly too good for their cost. A small tweak to see how that affects aggro in particular.

These Bloons are just too efficient for their costs and delays, so reducing their health slightly. Double yellow gets a slightly higher nerf because of its’ 1 delay.

MOAB

Ooh spicy! Large Bloons in general are under-utilized and not strong enough to warrant space in your deck at the moment. Beefing them up a little while also giving the MOAB and BFB staying power by adding a charge to each. . . . This is a BIG Bloon. This will also affect the Storm Bloons so watch out!

Another card that wasn’t working as designed. So we’ve fixed the bugs (hopefully!) but the design itself on second look wasn’t particularly strong (without the bugs), so we’ve reduced the cost further and increased the health, but kept delay at 3. The idea is this is a strong threat that you can add to your swarm decks, but it’s a looming threat more than instant damage. At best it’s 600 damage on the board for 3 gold which is pretty decent!

- Delay reduced per turn reduced ― 5 → 1 (bug fix)

Surprise damage is a core part of any card game and Quick Ready is an important part of this. We’ve seen tons of great suggestions about other designs for this card, and some of those match with ideas we’ve had for cards in the future, but we feel the basic idea of “reduce delay by 1” still has a place in the launch set. At cost 6, it’s now on a par with Hastening Bloon, but gives you guaranteed targeting in exchange for the body you get with Hastening. No changes to Hastening just yet but we’ve seen some fun ideas around it as well!

[T]his was a bug, as ceasefire and whoops should be functionally identical. Having it add one to reloads is definitely an interesting option and something we’ll no doubt explore in future cards!

- No longer increases the Reload of Monkeys without Ammo by 1 (bug fix)

The shield isn’t impactful enough at the moment and having to wait an entire turn to get any value out of it also doesn’t feel good. Shifting it to be immediate and bumping up the value should make it much more meaningful in longer games.
