well, they say the sequel is never as good as the original, but not in this case (I even liked it slightly more due to the interaction with the arrows), really amazing, in general harder steps than the shady X, but ovarall took me much less time somehow and the last step didn't fortunately take me that long (and I found it rather beautiful and stylish ending to the whole puzzle).
oh, and btw big congrats on the ctc feature, I somehow missed the video originally
—Thank you a lot for the solve and your great comment! Yeah, I made Shady X to try and make up for my last puzzle before that (now deactivated), which was frustrating a lot of great solvers. Realizing that the last big deduction of Shady X still was a bit tricky to spot, I figured that I should make a similar puzzle with an even smoother solve path. Now I guess I’ll have to make it a series, haha! :-)
Thank you, and also congrats to you for now being publicly recognized as the comedy king of sudoku! :-D
