The \"Fact-thrower\"(phone) Aiming is a bit off center, feels wrong.\n\nKarens respawn is too fast, if you kill them at their spawnpoint, they instantly repop and hit you. (Maybe randomize respawn somewhere else ?). I didn't really see them going for the tower, they attacked me when I got close enough.\n\nNice little game!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Daniel Whittaker","author_uid":"1183429","time":"2020-04-23T18:36:06Z","epoch":1587666966,"modified":1587666966,"text":"Yeah unfortunately there's a bug which only seems to be effecting some players where karen's will sit idle until the player approaches instead of swarming the tower.

Overall it's new and fun approach to actual tower defense, liked it very much.\nIt got a little bit laggy after few replays. I had to shut down game and start it again for it to work smoothly.

I like that you gave the Karens comical voicelines, defintley added to the sillyness! It took me while to get the hang of navigating the map and using my phone strategically, there were a few times I'd need to keep running to wait for my phone battery to come back!\n\nI never really ntoiced the tower health going down, they always seemed to target me first and all my deaths were from being attacked rather than failing to defend the tower health? It may of been that I did not suruvuve long enough hah.
