I loved taking about two zombies at once. Classic. I was disappointed that my manager didn't last till the very end of building. Why couldn't he take out one zombie near the top and one near the bottom? That seems like an oversight. Maybe you didn't want players arbitrarily spamming managers. That might make sense.\r\rAnywho, great game!"},{"author_name":"Basic","author_uid":"581","time":"Aug 26, 2010 @ 1:00am","epoch":1282784100,"text":"Thanks Spooner and J.Axon.\rInitaly there where two types of managers, a thin one and fat one. the fat one would plow through zombies to the bottom and the thin one only a couple of zombies. The fat got scraped cos I coded my self into a corner and it became troublesome so it got canned. I regret not adding a varity of managers, oh well, learning process I guess."},{"author_name":"Alan Lynn","author_uid":"2636","time":"Aug 26, 2010 @ 12:30pm","epoch":1282825500,"text":"I threw a manager off the roof and he kept falling through the ground."},{"author_name":"JDruid","author_uid":"2366","time":"Aug 27, 2010 @ 8:08am","epoch":1282896180,"text":"Good, but you have to play for like two minutes before there's any kind of a challenge."},{"author_name":"someone","author_uid":"1207","time":"Aug 29, 2010 @ 6:02am","epoch":1283061420,"text":"Haha, great fun."},{"author_name":"Basic","author_uid":"581","time":"Sep 1, 2010 @ 6:50am","epoch":1283323500,"text":"@Alan: And you don't mind the undead climbing up a building? :)\r@JDruid: Yeah the curve is abit crap.
