@Filuta: Thanks for your detailed feedback :-). I had quite a few ideas for this puzzle type, so with this larger grid I kind of wanted to implement different pieces of logic. Familiarity with a certain puzzle type helps greatly to logically solve that part.

That was really fun, including the finding the figure out the rules part. For me personally (and I see I wasn't the only one) the hardest part was the middle of the top of the grid (probably as hard as the rest of the puzzle combined).

That was fun! The rules were quite clear, but the puzzle was quite tricky at times. I enjoyed it a lot, had some new interesting logic baked into it! :D

Great stuff! I had the opposite experience to Jespers recent puzzle. Here I instantly knew the rules, but the puzzle itself had some tricky spots.
