Pretty challenging game! Loved the concept and the level design. I had to try a few times every round to learn which was the right path and even if that was fun I personally feel that it takes away some fundamental part of the game because there is only one path or you will lose so you are force to take that one. This maybe was made on purpouse which I totally respect its just my opinion.
Thank you, yes, that's what I did for that purpose. If you get the wrong star first, you won't be able to catch up with the others.
Actually, my initial idea at the start of the game wasn't to collect the stars, but to navigate through the right gap in right size, but that would have been too much trouble for level design.
