After 4 days and 2 failed attempts I finally solved my first 5 star puzzle! Thank you, SudokuExplorer and PotatoHead21 for the puzzle.

Excellent puzzle. And easy to go wrong with a faulty deduction that seems reasonable at the time. Be careful!

Thank you all for all the detailed and positive feedback! I'm really pleased you enjoyed discovering the quite tricky logic in our puzzle. I might later add more details of the setting process in a hidden comment. :-)

One of the best puzzles I've seen so far! Would be interesting to know how long it took you to set it.

Very nice and relaxing puzzle, it has some tricky deductions but nothing too crazy. It's mostly about coloring stuff and chilling =)

Wow! Nice puzzle. Took me a long while to get any actual digits but fun once it gets going.

Stunning puzzle! Maybe one of my all-time favourites. There are so many surprising and fascinating deductions, and the difficulty was perfectly balanced throughout the whole solve. Kudos!
