Ok I get where you're going with this but because there was no option to avoid the red bits or even choice something to kill me it did just feel like I was being teleported back to the start all the time. You could add some random elements to touching the red blocks like for some move you back to the start but some only move you back a little and maybe some actually move you forwards. Perhaps give the player a choice so add more than 1 red thing, that way the player has to remember which ones do the least harm.
