Awesome job on Knockback!
Its a lot of fun slaying minions with my family over a LAN. So thank you for adding LAN capabilities! So much better than split-screen or couch gaming.
One thing I noticed is by the 3rd wave, the game slows down to almost a crawl while spawning the minions. I'm using Linux over a gigabit LAN... does this happen in Windows?

So sorry for the slow response. I'm not aware of any slowdown that should happen while you're playing on the LAN 3rd wave, but I haven't updated the itch.io app in a while. Really glad you're enjoying it with your family! Your machine looks plenty beefy enough to host. Although I will note that the server does most of the heavy lifting so you'll definitely want that to be your beefiest machine.
I'm not sure I can send you a DM in itch, but if you join the discord or shoot an email to info@pluckyrat.com I'm happy to shoot you an alpha key (or a few) on steam for you to test the latest version.
Thanks!
Yes, Linux is my only gaming OS these days.
I actually have 6 PCs setup in a LAN all with Mint 19.3
My daughters each have a desktop with Mint and my media center connected to the TV has Mint.
I test a lot of games in Linux on a regular basis... check out our posts and guides:

I would like to address some bugs I have found with the AI.
First bug, If you play the wave map with the water fall and the mountains if you go up to most of those mountains the AI will go somewhat into the mountains and then just stand there doing nothing until they get killed or the player walks up to them or gets out of the mountains then they will come after you. SUSAN IS TOO BIG. He gets stuck on everything and his AI can't identify the fact that SUSAN IS BIG. TOO BIG.
