(11 years ago) Wow, I got this one 1st try - rare case. Still a nice level, though. :)

EDIT, 26th Aug.,2022: re-beaten, but not in 1 try, hahahah. Took me 14 tries, this time. So, it WAS luck, years ago. Very cute level! Giving it 5 stars, now. And just like hi19, I am puzzled how this was shorter, too.
I finally got that one, after long long time. What helped me now is that I was almost certain about the winning route, so I was focusing on finding the optimization trick on that specific route. With my experience from other boards, I studied it and spotted a possibility. It worked! :D
