Lovely puzzle, but I would never consider counting circles in a 9x9 to be a 1*, this was definitely a 2*.

Very nice but nearer 2 star difficulty for me

Thank you for this fun puzzle, Burak Alver! I have given 2* for difficulty, but I think that relies pretty much on familiarity with Counting Circles.

Really nice puzzle! This is 2 stars maximum however, and I would go as far as to say it is 1 star.
