A lot of fun. Once you wrap your mind around zero mechanisms, I'd say it's a 1 star.

Cute puzzle with a smooth solve path.

may look intimidating at first, because "normal" logic does not apply, and you don't even have "long" arrows, and zero can go anywhere, right ?
no, it can't.

Great Puzzle, introduction of 0 on the arrows really adds a manageable level of restriction that stretches the mind. Agree with the 1/2* rating.

I am usually not the biggest fan of Sudokus with 0, but this one was very fun and clever, thank you for setting!

That was beautiful and clever! VeryVeryNeat puzzle! First intimidating, because of not normal arrow logic, but with the right questions from the start it flowed smoothly, so I'd rate it as betwenn 1* and 2* for difficulty.
