great puzzle! loved the way the outer ring of lines created a solution path didn't stay in one place; it went all over the grid. well done.

Just what I prefer, only logic and a smooth solving path. Thank you @cam for setting & sharing!..
Reply: I'm really glad to hear that you found it smooth! This is something I always worry about when setting puzzles. Lots of folks that solve these puzzles are cleverer than I am. Thanks :)

just the way i like it, symmetry and coloring goes a long way
Reply: There's something so satisfying about filling a grid with colors. It scratches that childhood itch for me haha

Nice puzzle! I love puzzles with minimalistic rulesets combined with almost symmetrical grids. They tend to be the most interesting ones.
