Inexplicably fun! I think all that's missing is a little more tension. Maybe if the grid was 10x10 it would feel like more of a race against the clock.
The core mechanic is totally solid though, and that's what's most important. You obviously have a knack for recognizing fun activities and distilling them to their essence. Great job!
This game is very fun! Pretty easy, yet addicting! I featured it in my video compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/J-5j5_FYNQI
On a larger grid, this could for sure be great fun, and maybe with walls and such things, and the arrows always pointing in the direction of the shortest path...
It's a bit too easy - would love a larger grid - but I love the idea. It also reminded me of Minesweeper, but changed enough that it works well in a timed environment.
For only my very favourite Ludum Dare 27 games I am composing free open source soundtracks, and this game most certainly qualifies. Kate, these songs now belong to you to do with as you please. WAV, OGG, and original source files included (made with the Bosca Ceoil composition software).
