the moment when i made a puzzle, see  nesdori 's hiscore and know it's i who is puzzled now... :D

So,  nesdori  solved it within 40 frames, excluding around 20, which get lost on the end part crushing the fly. His path has to be very simple!  
  
My assumption is that the solution was to not use the entire circle next to the spawn. I need to test that later!

 dustin , i'm also puzzled that what is the intended solution. because the maze is so large i thought that maybe the intended is to go the long left route. but now that i saw your score i know that it isn't :)

well, i had this idea weeks ago. originally, i had a solution in mind that i soon found out was almost impossible to make a unique solution. so i built the maze and saw what solutions i could do. every time i found a solution, i changed the maze in a way that this solution was excluded. i did this 3 or 4 times until i had a solution that was very hard to exclude, so i decided that the time for a release had come. i did not really expect my solution to be the only possible one because there are many possibilities to consider - for example, i also overlooked  chris ' solution. but your eight-second-solution does surprise me! :D there are not many possibilities in such a short time, but i still haven't found that solution :D

and i think that if the solution would always be going the longest possible path, it would become too predictable :D

 dustin , that's actually surprising that you didn't see my solution; you are the master of distance transform slots after all.. :)

a major hint: i go from 0 to 1 to 3 to 1 with distances :)

the major hint was all the distance master needed :D  
the tricky thing to me was to go from 1 to 3 (voluntarily) instead of 2 (by force) :D
