For me it required some bifurcation, I got really stuck after the beginning. 3*

On the fence between 2 and 3 stars for me, but a nice challenge anyway.

Very nice and a bit tricky, but still 2 stars. Thanks

Definitely a high 2 star. Took me a long time to figure out what I was missing but was a fun puzzle.

I agree, the beginning was fairly easy but after that it was way harder than a common 2* imo
Still a nice puzzle tho! :D

Very nice but a little tricky in parts. Slightly harder than 2 stars difficulty for me.
