  I will have another play over the weekend and see if I can improve on it (one idea does come to mind).

  Can't you just shift select the ones you want to alter - then anything you alter (size, speed, instance variables, etc) will only effect the selected ones ?

  or set each enemy with a variable so it limits it's turn angle ?

  or a combination of the two so you get fast enemies that cant turn fast and slow enemies with a smaller turning circle ?

  quick test - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/143636437/examples%20for%20web/ball%20chase%20edit.capx

  First (untested) thought is to give each of the enemies a slightly different speed so as the enemies are chasing the player they will form a sort of line from fastest to slowest. Something like :-

  on start of layout

  for each enemies : set bullet speed to random(50)+125

  or

  on start of layout

  for each enemies : set bullet speed to 125+(loopindex*3)

  ?

  you can alter the z order of created objects "in code" - see z order at https://www.scirra.com/manual/132/common-actions

  one method would be to remember the UID (see https://www.scirra.com/manual/130/common-features) and then have a sub event to destroy this sprite if it is overlapping the family (sprites) .

  another would be to create a temporary sprite (same size as the required but invisable) at the touch location and then check to see if this is overlapping the already created required sprites - if no overlap then spawn a required sprite at the temporary sprites location. destroy temporary sprite.

  look at "rotate towards " which allows you to set the angle (ie rotate towards target.x, target.y by 1 degree) by altering the degree you will alter the turning rate.

  Also look at Vector X and Vector Y which sets the "speed" directly in x and y ...

  I was playing with "is between angles" (see: https://www.scirra.com/manual/131/common-conditions) a while ago - maybe this could give you another starting point ?

  Blur mask shader. Would be cool to fake DOF in isometric games, or add instagram style DOF faking.

  I don't think so - not to force mouse/touch clicks in other applications.
