Don't understand how I missed the negative restraint reading the description again after finishing, but anyway, without negative constraint, this becomes a very slow grinding 4 star puzzle after quite an easy start.

Had a strange, but very pleasant flow

I liked that it was presented differently from the line versions.

Solved it the first time by bifurcasting. Went back and solved it for reals.
BTW, could the puzzle have be done with lines rather than diamonds. (˘・_・˘).oO

I love negative constraints, they generally keep the puzzle interesting up to the end, and this one definitely fits the pattern. Very nice.
