It's about combining and separating roads to make a loop for the cars to go through

Cool game! The flag level got pretty hard, couldn't finish it because I got a bug at the flags level where it would explode all the cars and fail me when I started the level. Looks like it's because one of the parts you have to move was already in a moving state or something
hi ceylanae! that bug honestly sounds pretty worrying, did the cars explode as soon as you started, or did you just find that you couldn't move the points they were on (the grey ones)?
If it's the latter, yes, you're not supposed to move or separate points when cars are moving through them, but can still combine grey (blocked) points with any other ones, that's actually the key to solving that level
if something else is going on, please let me know!
take care
hey yea no it’s the first, they would explode as soon as I started. One of the points seemed to be stuck in a moving state (orange background with fourway arrow)
yeah when you fail (or complete) a level, all the points get stuck in whatever icon they were last on, that's normal, but I'm worried about that "every car explodes as soon as the level starts" issue.
if you don't mind me asking, did that happen after you tried moving any point? (could also explain the point stuck in moving state)
or did that happen literally the moment the level loaded?
And did this happen every time you restarted or just once?
sorry, just trying to look into this
nw I understand, at some point in the attempts, the moment I tried moving any points which normally made the cars start moving made them all explode and this would happen every attempt after
Cute idea that starts simple but expands into more mind-bending puzzles, good job!
This is a really fun puzzle game. There were a few times where it felt like I could clip through red obstacles, but it wasn't enough to be a problem. A really great take on the loop theme!!
I really like the concept, the puzzles are great for what I played. The UX could use some help. But overall it is one of the most inventive and creative uses of the theme!
Making the connections was somewhat quirky at times, but the idea was very cool and refreshing. Great work!
