Very smooth. There was always some new deduction to be made with this one. Cheers!

You have to ask a specific question or two for the break-in, but otherwise it's quite smooth.

That was fun. Barbie girl in a Barbie world. Thanks Marty.

A real joy! Such a simple ruleset but it doesn't rely on a single type of deduction to solve. And it has enough places to get traction to never get stuck either.

Ah! My Eyes!! Lol that pink was intense! Like a night in Amsterdam on E! Great setting with fantastic logic to follow. Now can we get a Green Hulk Smash to follow? Easier on the eyes :) Thanks!

A very nice and very easy puzzle, nearer 1 star difficulty for me.

Took me forever to find the break-in. Once I saw it, it seemed so obvious. The puzzle was challenging but smooth after that. Very nice.

Surprisingly fun for such a "boring" ruleset.
3 stars for difficulty for me.

Thank you very much for creating and sharing another beautiful puzzle. (Though I missed the typical Sears style a little bit …)

Beautiful high-low coloring puzzle, I prefer solving paths like this where there is more focus on logical thinking and less focus on finding the contradiction in the haystack.

Very cool interactions. Thought I would have to wait much longer to place a digit than I actually did.

Some really cool interactions here, inspires me to set a renban puzzle. Thanks!
