White Kropki: Cells separated by a white dot have values with a difference of one.
NOTES
Expected Difficulty: 2 stars
This puzzle was my attempt to impersonate myself for this year's Imposter Prompt, over on
Scojo's Twitch channel.
Many thanks to
Calvinball and
NEWS for testing this and a future puzzle to be released soon.
I'm attempting something new with the formatting for this puzzle, as a few comments I've seen regarding Renban/RSL puzzles say that people with colorblindness may not be able to tell the difference between the two lines, so I've made the Renbans hollow and the RSL solid. I also changed the word for the color (at least in English) to match the hex code for the color, so I'm the most accurate I can be with the description.
This is a curved lines puzzle, but some people do not like that and so if you'd like a traditional puzzle, that can be found here:
Heart of the Storm.
Happy solving!

the EFFECT of the pressure points is easy enough, but FINDING them is pretty hard, especially in the beginning.
also, there are some expert tricks that will be needed to make this a comfortable solve.
THEREFORE, it should be level 3

Thanks so much for providing the straight line version. I have a heck of a time following the curved lines. Excellent puzzle. Extremely satisfying solve. Bravo!
