==Supported and unsupported features==

The Ninja Kiwi Archive supports logging into a Ninja Kiwi web account and purchasing and using [[NK Coin]]s. All [[achievement]]s and leaderboards still exist, though some ~~of these~~ no longer ~~function~~ due to their games' servers being shut down. The application does not support logging into a MochiGames account or purchasing or using [[MochiCoin]]s, nor does it support the [[Wheel of Fate]].

All games except ''[[Bloons Super Monkey 2 (Flash)|Bloons Super Monkey 2]]'' allow the user to resize the game window freely. Most games simply expand to fit the window, but ''[[Bloons Monkey City (Flash)|Bloons Monkey City]]'' expands the view of the player's city in the city mode and simply stays the same size in tower defense mode. Certain games, including ''[[Bloons TD 5 (Flash)|Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles (Flash)|Bloons TD Battles]]'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City (Flash)|Bloons Monkey City]]'', display a pop-up linking to the Steam versions of these games on startup.
