Blog
The Ninjakiwi Blog launched in 2009, and it's first ever blog post was on March 2, 2009. Ninjakiwi used the blog to announce the release of many games, the first game announced being Escape the Red Giant. They also hold Fan of the Week events, where users submit their fan art for Ninjakiwi games, for a chance to win NK coins or Ninjakiwi merchandise.

Ninja Kiwi Login System
As of the near end of November in 2011, Ninja Kiwi has created their own login system. Players would login on their own accounts to record their progress on certain games. Games that use the login system are Battle Blocks, Bloons Tower Defense 5, Battle Panic, and SAS Tower Defense. Future games may or may not use this system. Doing certain tasks in these games will give you achievements, which will reward Awsome Points.

Awesome Points (AP)
Awesome Points, or simply known as AP, are rewarded form completing achievements. Whether it's killing one million zombies or completing a special mission, earning achievements is the only way to gain AP. The amount of AP someone has determines their current level. The current maximum amount of AP a player can have is 6715 AP.

Although there is no official AP Leaderboard, a fan-based, fan-maintained AP Leaderboard has been created on the Ninja Kiwi Forums. This leaderboard is open only to registered members of the NK forum, for the fan requires direct links of your profile.

NK Coins
NK Coins, also known as Ninjakiwi Coins are a type of premium currency that Ninjakiwi games use. NK coins can be used to buy premium items. You can purchase NK coins with real money. The following NK games use NK Coins:


 * Bloons TD 5
