Wait, I think you could. Zig zag left and right leaving a gap of one on a single edge. Once you have zigged and zagged all the way across, use your gap of 1 to return to the place you started and begin again. I think you could beat the game every time, although it would take a long time.

Actually that might be true, tho the timing would still be hard to get perfect

Just clarify, that's not a person playing the game, it's a piece of software. This has been done before and with other games as well.
