Both are good ways! I think
\n the easiest and for every level best way is to build streets in direct way to the endnode! BUT you have to keep the streetparts small and have a look for the altitude! Especially the altitude differnces between the streetpart-nodes increase the building time!
\n If you have directors (at Levels 2-6) you can switch with right mouse click in director mode and with a left-click place it on a node. and then with another left-click (still in director mode) you can switch the direction and send the cars back! ok you are right! a director dont need to be able to direct to a suicide-street!

I tried it a bunch more times and while knowing how to turn the director short term helps a lot I can’t seem to get past level 2.

So you have to think about when to use it! To make it a bit clearer I added a link to a video-“tutorial” how to finish the first 3 Levels in the post!

That helped a ton. I was able to beat 5\/6 levels. That last level was a total monster! I was not able to defeat it. There are some great tensions that exist in this game. In one sense it is like a bizarre form of linear juggling and time management. I like the stress when you are on the higher levels and you are building far away from where your cars are and you are trying to keep a running total in your mind on whether your director has probably expired or not. Then you have to go racing back to hope that you have a chance to lay down a new one before the cars explode.","spam":"N"},{"author_name":"dertom","time":"February 22, 2009 9:45 am","epoch":1235313900,"text":"Hehe…grats you came so wide \ud83d\ude00 You know that it is possible to move with awsd and arrow-keys as well!!?! Ok to snap it over you have to use the mouse! And I know this panic situations you described as well \ud83d\ude00
\n The indicator where the destination is already exists! The selector is pointing to it with an arrow.

Some time has past but I still wanted to finish my LD13 project. Maybe some of you remember the big 3d-bug<\/a> I published! Hehe…well the game is still not very intuitive but I added instructions, fixed lots of bugs added some graphics and models! I would say it looks almost like a game! And that was my task! I learned a lot as it is my first game I finished.<\/p>\n

Have a look here:<\/p>\n

plz read the instructions in the game before starting!!<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is a video-tutorial how to survive the first three levels. Maybe that will help to get a clue what the game is about :D.<\/p>\n

Now I can start finishing my miniLD Cryptogame! (On LD#14 I will finish in time! I’m sure \ud83d\ude00 )<\/p>\n

CU, ToM<\/p>\n

PS: I want to thank everyone who tried to figure out what the first version was about! I know that must have been a hard time that surley was followed by massive nightmares! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n \n
