I've played enough puzzles that I knew two of the big tricks in this puzzle and had all my pencil marks placed in about 3 minutes ... and then spent 50 minutes trying to figure out where to disambiguate them, haha.
Despite that, I enjoyed the puzzle.

Really nice first puzzle! I especially liked some of the early interactions between the arrows and the diagonals. Difficulty 2 seems about right to me.

After some conversations with friends, I've lowered the difficulty from 3-star to 2-star. Please let me know if you agree.
