You can't exactly do this. It is like asking a baby to move faster.
It takes a long time but the baby (your creature) will learn.
As many already have asked for, a "head."
Evolution tends to favor those that don't die, but in the simulator there is no death or risk, causing many "species" to move using methods that should kill any.
This could also give the obstacle jump a boost in evolution, forcing creatures to learn to jump earlier/faster.
