Cool to see a PICO-8 game here! The game runs fine, but I do think the eye mechanic is a little frustrating, since the timer is so short and you can only use it once. In my experience, the best way to pass the levels is to hope you spawn close to the exit, memorize what inputs you need to press to get there, then use the eye and get to the exit as quickly as possible. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do if there's no trap-free path.
Thank you for playing! And thanks for detailed feedback. Yes, we made it a bit difficult on purpose so that you'll need to spend some time with the game to balance out speed of reaction with memorization. I can beat all levels in maybe 60% of times.
Maybe it will be worth adding some refills for the eye mechanic to levels to ease things out.
