I was finally able to solve this today. This level is so dumb it's amazing. Kind of unbelievable there's only one solution and everything else is 2 off. This level uses the one weird trick so newbs are absolutely ****ed if they decide to play this. Hilarious.
I found it a good level and enjoyed solving it, but somehow, for me it was one more for which I cannot tell why one route wins and not the ones before.
I think I've never seen SO MANY false paths, 2 steps short, in such a short level. :O :O :O
My brain almost turned anomalous, but some miracle helped me to reach 31, just be4 that. :)
GREAT puzzle!
