Debriefs
Tweak the 'buzz' mechanic. Perhaps make it so a whole path is lost, but the AI only loses a fraction of a life, or is penalized with a shorter path for the next turn.
Allow partial progress on buzzed paths if the buzz happens on the last step, to reduce punishment for minor errors near the goal.
