Known Issues

-------------------

Trap Placement has a bug, where the trap doesn’t place but doesn’t cancel, and then you can't place it anywhere else until you cancel and try again.
- This is reliably reproduced by placing a trap on an existing trap while standing on it.

Traps can be placed in locations that have them clipping into the level geometry. 
- This can cause bugs with their rendering and functionality.

Controller Support is not currently implemented for Menus.

Next Wave Cheat can break the game when used after a wave ends but before a new one begins. 
- This is due to the game attempting to destroy current enemies but finding none
