Finally got this one. It turned out that an idea I had tried in my 2-off was actually correct for the final solution, just applied slightly differently. Really pretty level and a real neat solution here, with lots of close paths.
I tried many - many - different routes and eventually I won. Why this last route and not the one before that was an identical repeat, only applied one row up? Can't understand it. Magic...
Only issue with this level is the name. Should be called "Soul Crusher". Probably my lowest stepcount unsolved at this point. Simple design, but not simplistic. Brutal 2 offs and a mysterious solution.
Edit: Got it 3rd try today 2 months later. Lmao. What a funky ass path. Well played, Palm.
Looks like I'll be sitting on the Terrace for a while, 2 tiles short. Just can't get the work done, in 34. Will come back (and when I finish, will give another 5 stars). :)

EDIT: 3 days later, I finally got it! :)) Would never expect THAT was faster. Some levels really surprise me with the solution. :)
