Escape the cube 2 (Theseus and Minotaur variant)

Question

Hello,

here is a puzzle I created. I plan to post a few more in the near future. If you like it, google Cubiscape for more.

Goal:

You are the blue ball and have to get to the green square without being caught by the red or blue cube.

Rules:

• Game is turn based.
• Each turn you can move by one tile and both the red and blue cube can also move by one. You move first, then moves the blue cube and then the red cube. You cannot skip your move.
• Moves are only possible horizontally (left/right) or vertically (up/down).
• The red cube is chasing you. It will always seek to get closer to you. If it can choose from either going horizontally or vertically, it will always prefer going horizontally. If any available move would put it further away from you, it will not move. If it ever reaches the tile you are standing on, you lose.
• The blue cube always mimics your last move. If it is not possible, it does nothing. If you move to a tile occupied by the blue cube, you lose.
• When you reach the green tile, both cubes still get to do their moves. If they reach you, you still lose.

Important Notes:

• The cubes can block each other. You probably should use that to your advantage ;)
• This puzzle is more difficult than my last one and the shortest solution (that I know of) is over 15 steps long. Better get a piece of paper :)

Answer 1

right right right right left left left up up down right left down right right right up up up up

or moves in the end - right right up up right up up

Answer 2

Assuming I didn't accidentally simulate the AI wrong somewhere I think you should be able to go

right, right, up, down, left, up, right, right, up, right, up, left, left, left, down, down, right, down, left, up, right, right, right, up, up, up
So the puzzle starts like this

where light blue is the player, dark blue is the blue cube, red is the red cube, and green is the goal tile. After the first 7 moves we've positioned the red cube directly behind us with no regard for the blue cube, giving us this position

So we go all the way to the right and up to "attach" ourselves to the blue cube, with the red cube chasing us. Note my original solution had steps 9 and 10 swapped, which would allow the red cube to catch us, I believe this solution forces the red cube to take a path that keeps us safe.

Then we go down, causing the red cube to be blocked by the blue one and lag behind us, then catch the blue cube on the pillar in the middle to get on the right of it, allowing us to ultimately get to the end.

Finally we perform the same maneuver as at the beginning of the puzzle to get the red cube chasing us again, this time with the blue cube out of the way

Then beeline to the end tile, and victory!

But that might not be the most optimal route. I've been informed that this isn't the optimal route
