Due to the feedback I received, I tried to make some design changes within the game to try and solve the problems people faced.
Many people complained about the difficulty, with people finding it both too hard and too easy. To fix this, I implemented a difficulty option that occurs in the main menu before the start of the game. There are 3 options, Easy, Medium and Hard.

I had to rethink this and make it more explicit what I was intending. I changed the construction lights to barriers with the word DEAD END in red text on it to denote where a dead end would be better.
