Agree on 3*. Very clever setting. Did several of your puzzles. Each refreshingly creative. Thanks for sharing them.

Thank you for all the nice comments on every puzzle you enjoyed. It brings a big smile to my face. I am working on a very similar puzzle to this one right now because I think the ruleset is pretty interesting even though this puzzle didn't get a lot of Attention.

Very nice puzzle. Took me a while to get started, but then it all flowed smoothly. Felt closer to 2*.

***
I think there are a couple of tricky steps that make it 3* for me. I am happy that the puzzle flowed so well for you and you enjoyed it.
