Thank you all for the lovely feedback!
I tried to make a classic with a hopefully fun theme, and fortunately it went smoothly after the break-in. I'm glad you all enjoyed solving it as much as I surprisingly did setting it. :-)

Both puzzles were very nice, with an abundance of nice yet not very tricky logic!

Wow, this puzzle is incredible. A perfect example of how a carefully crafted easy classic puzzle with no advanced techniques needed can bring great joy.
It is beautiful how gentle the flow of this puzzle is, very slowly crafting pairs and building tension until suddenly it gives way. But even when you've broken through, the puzzle solves as gently as it began.
Thank you for this puzzle.
