Manouvre the round dot onto the red square.

Footnote from Oskar
Although designed by Oskar much of this puzzle is Andrea's. The Active maze puzzle was inspired by Andrea's Maze of Life and Colour-wriggle mazes. Also, Oskar reused much of Andrea's Java source code, which explains the similar look and feel with some of Andrea's other projects.
