Ah, finally got it. Kept getting stuck on a completely different path to the goal. Tried again today and found the right one. Was stuck at 2-off for a bit, until I found the last little cut. Very nice level!
Really cool concept and execution. I have no idea why that path saves 2 moves - I'll have to go back and inspect the level a bit. I like this one a lot though. Hard to even see what to do for a while at first.
