Hey there. Welcome to the Pathology community!
Everyone loves to see new puzzle authors so I hope you keep building.
In the meantime, you could improve your levels a lot by adding false paths! Next time try adding paths other than the correct path that might bring the player close to the winning step count. It will greatly enhance the solving experience.
It's a very interesting level.
I would say the primary issue here is the concept is a little unrefined. As a new level builder I think a smaller version of this type of level with a more refined and tested path would make for a more enjoyable experience.
However, as a first level I thought it was pretty cool and I'd like to see more from you!
