Hey great work! This is one of my favourite types of puzzle games, and I like the twist you put on it - you don't necessarily need the "optimal" solution if you're quick enough to dart across the fading squares. I actually made it all the way to the end and really enjoyed the levels. The controls were indeed tricky and I found myself wanting a strafe, but to be honest, I think part of the challenge of this game is that you can only move forward and I would be hesitant to change that. Great submission!
