Wonderful killer puzzle, such an engaging solve path with lots of surprises all the way! I certainly enjoyed that opening sequence the most ;)

it took me a long time to solve but i'm glad to say i didn't break it (which happens often). Very nice puzzle, thank you :)

Wow, great killer sudoku. It was very challenging but worth the effort.

I loved that. Definitely needs to be solved on CTC.

Awesome puzzle! Great job on setting and finding the nice geometry dependencies. Thanks!
One problem I had during solving is that I made a mistake in the very beginning and spent hours trying to justify my mistake. When I restarted from the beginning, everything was better. Alas, this is a problem with the solver, not the puzzle. :)

Very nice puzzle. Really enjoyed the break-in. The interaction of the cages was beautiful.

Just sublime, really enjoyable solve path even if it took me longer than I care to admit to get there.
Thanks for taking your time to set this!

Beautiful geometry, and a nice flow. The actual behavior of the diagonal was pleasantly surprising and unusual, if that's not too much of a spoiler.

Amazing puzzle! The logic is beautiful and it's really fun to work out how the cages interact. Loved it!
