Thanks Charstar25!
I am definitely debugging the code and colliders for that, it seems to be hit and miss. I've also discovered my movement mathematics allows for too fast movement if you keep doing diagonally. The v2 build on my page includes some nice respawning mechanics for the NPC and newspapers to try and get 50 points to win. Just for now until I decide on a direction and genre for this game. Thinking of designing an open city park map or something too. Cheers!
