A thousand thanks to you!
I believe this solved 99% of the problems I was having with the movements for my pawn. There is however one little detail in the movement I would still like to add to not make it so simple to reach the end of the puzzles.
When I press right for example, I want my pawn to go all the way to the right which makes it impossible for me to stay in between the obstacles to then slightly move freely around the board. Think of it as if my pawn was on ice, with no ability to stop until it hits a wall.
I tried increasing the multiplier a lot to make it impossible to stop in-between objects, but it is not perfect.
I got the inspiration for my little game from this puzzle shown here at 3m55s (The audio is quite loud, so beware) Castlevania Lords of Shadow Reverie DLC Chapter 13-3 Founders’ Quarters (pt.3of5) - YouTube
The goal in that puzzle is to reach the middle of the map, and as you can see it is not possible to simply stop in the middle of the movements to make a quick turn.
Hopefully you can understand what I am trying to explain with the ice floor.
Thank you again for the help.
