I typed this up and then remembered an old game called chip's challenge. Found a link to some gameplay and realized how much it influenced my expectations of these games. I'll include the link at the bottom but some of its features wouldn't work well in this game.
I'm a bit colorblind so the brown(?) bridges are a little tricky to distinguish from the background green. Otherwise, this was a fun start.
Some ideas you may be interested in.
Teleports/portals
Directional tiles
can only go one way or
changes the object's course
switches
Lower walls
Raise/close floors to complete paths
key items
batteries or some other move limiter
keys/crystals/whatever required to make it through an obstacle
keys/crystals/whatever that must be gathered before leaving
enemies
Move around the map in predictable patterns
multiple types
turns left at edges
turns right at edges
floats around the outside wall
just moves in a specific square pattern
I'm sure there's a million more ideas but these are the only ones I could think of in these types of games.
thanks for playing the game and making a video of it. the video helped show how the player learns the game without the game telling you I'm trying to make it easy to learn also learning on your own makes the game more fun.
