Also invisible walls + deadly walls ...\rAnd you should give some visual indication which direction is currently blocked. In general more visual\/audio feedback would be nice, only the rule flashing up on the left side can often be overlooked.\r\rFor a possible post-compo version, you could add some more tiles than just walls and maybe even some objects and then you have ENDLESS possibilities for rules that modify the behaviour\/interaction between those things.
