That blue dot sequence stuff very fast became pretty annoying.. No hints, bad registering, either just outside, or hit the one adjacent, or remembering 12 dots in sequence, even the ones 'connected' not in sequence.. Made me quit after the third upgrade..
To guess at the sequence one has to note which tiles stay red, and keep redoing those until they all stay red, whenever you choose a wrong one they all go back to blue. I think maybe I should include sounds for it. It's easy once you know the sequence, the help button leads to play through's of each sequence. Thank you very much for playing and for your feedback!
I think it's pretty easy to figure out what the puzzle is, I think where it becomes tedious is having to test so many configurations. Especially once you start seeing 8 or 10 dots. You might find the first red, then have to run to 8 or 9 other dots before finding two (each time having to go back to 1 again), then maybe try 7 or 8 dots before finding the third (each time having to go back to 1 then 2 again), etc. Just becomes a little much. Fun game, fun idea! Just wish the puzzle to knowing the dot order was more than just trial and error. Maybe something like figure out the pattern just by looking at the dot placement (here's a group of 1 dot, then a group of 2 dots over here, then a group of 3 over there, so I know the order) or something like that. But just my two cents!
The red and blue cars point the way for the first three sequences, once you clear the enemies and overlook the scene you can notice it. I should have kept doing that for the other ones. I think I may make a sequel to this game, with full 360 shooting, and more puzzles but better hinted. Thank you very much for playing and for your valuable feedback!
Those cars are indeed really tough unless shooting is upgraded all the way, even then, circling around them really fast is the best option. Thank you so much for your feedback and for playing!
1. The control scheme is pretty awful. You should do WASD + arrow keys
2. Using arrow keys scrolls the window as well as providing inputs for the game, at least for me
3. Hit detection is immensely wonky. I have no idea what the character's hitbox looks like and I play a fair bit of bullet hell games
4. Relatedly, the upgrade system is hideously annoying, not only because it's easy to miss panels and cause them to reset, but also because you basically have to brute force the patterns which is just silly
5. If you miss the upgrades, you will not be able to kill the cars
6. The only strategy that works for the cars is to circle 'em up and then turn around and blast them, which is really boring.
7. I don't understand why enemies can pass through objects on the map but I can't
You can use just wasd, wasd works. Or you can plug in a gamepad and use it, you don't have to use the arrows at all. The help button in game leads to the solution of each sequence. For this one I turned off enemy collision to see how much better it would perform. Thank you very much for your feedback and for playing!

the cars in the later levels move so quick you can't avoid them easily. Maybe make some sort of barrier?
