Png Bot

Description

The Png Bot was an enemy that appeared in Headache Headquarters. It did not appear naturally and is instead spawned by the Png Bot2. Currently, it only appears when the Brain Rot modifier is activated in Sandbox mode, replacing every modern Breaker variant, or with its Logbook. It has a decent amount of health and a quite fast speed.

Appearance

The Png Bot is a two-dimensional enemy that has multiple appearances. All of them are various images of cats, some of them being memes and other images of the developer's cats.

Headache Headquarters Strategy

As this enemy only appears through Sandbox mode, no strategy section is made for its current version. Instead, a strategy section for the one that appeared without Sandbox mode in Headache Headquarters is listed instead.

• Strong early-game towers like the Brawler, Golden Scout or Golden Crook Boss are very effective here.
  • Towers with crowd control capabilities, like the Electroshocker or Mortar, can also be useful here.
  • Stalling towers, like the Cryomancer, Freezer or Frost Blaster, can also be useful, due to the Png Bot2's speed.
• High DPS towers like the Minigunner and Accelerator can be useful against this.
• The Commander and DJ Booth can be useful at boosting the firerate and range of your towers respectively.

Trivia

• This enemy is a reference to NextBots that originated from Garry's Mod. These are images that would chase the player, killing them when touched.
  • All of the images that appear here are cats. Multiple of them are memes, with these being:
    • Jess, more commonly known as Maxwell the cat.
    • Canny and Uncanny cat.
    • Sad cat in a banana suit.
    • Happy Cat jumping up and down.
    • Fat cat in a tuxedo.
    • An image of a cat with its mouth open, which is commonly posted alongside a ":D" caption on a white background.
  • Most other cats are the Tower Defense Simulator developer's cats.
    • One of them is confirmed to be StarWars' cat^[1]. One of the cat images, that being image five, was also uploaded by CapraKinetics, meaning it is likely their cat.
