Nice. I found the mid solve sudoku a bit tricky though, never hard but not always obvious where the grid was constrained so 3 stars.

Very enjoyable and a nicely constructed break in. Well done.

very easy - for experts.
but also, a great demonstration for beginners how they can move to the next level.
a beginner will check SINGLE arrows for the minimum sum.
but if MULTIPLE arrows "see" each other, then they cannot ALL have the lowest digits, and their COMBINED sums are forced up.
after that, there are many cells that "see" sets of high or low digits, or both.
then you use a lot of basic sudoku.

Loved it! Felt more like 3/5 for me.

I also quite liked it, but I didn't find it as easy as apparently every one else, I struggled quite a bit, especially with the top part and row 1, but I guess I just didn't ask the right questions.
