Bloons TD 5 — Nintendo Switch port (Ninja Kiwi engine wrapper)​

This is a native wrapper / loader that runs the original ARM64 build of Bloons TD 5 on Switch homebrew. It contains no game code and no game assets.

Advantages over Switch native version
- 6+ more years of updates, 30 more maps
- Touch screen support (yes the official release doesn't have it...)

Disadvantages:
- Worse docked controls
- No co-op support

You need files from the Android build of Bloons TD 5 Version 4.7 (com.ninjakiwi.bloonstd5)

In handheld — touch screen support. In handheld and docked + brings up the cursor, - hides the cursor, A taps. The left stick moves the cursor and B is back.

A USB mouse works in both handheld and docked: move to control the cursor, left-click to tap, and use the scroll wheel to change sensitivity. Your stick, mouse and gyro sensitivities are remembered in pointer.cfg automatically after in0game adjustment.

Drop a cursor.png (64x64, transparency supported) in switch/btd5 to replace the on-screen cursor with your image.

I plan on adding these control options to my other ports.
 
For anyone curious, if you also own the Steam version, you can copy your save from that and use it perfectly fine. On Windows it's located at
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[Your Steam ID]\306020\local\Data\Docs

Edit: This will also transfer over any of the DLC cosmetics you have.
