Very intricate network ! I had to really use all the wires in my brain to navigate through all this. Thanks :)

Very nice break-in idea ! I've really enjoyed that and a couple of deductions in the mid-solve.

Really well set. I always felt I knew where to look, but I never knew what I was looking for, which is what I like most in puzzles. Impressive to capture that with rules so thoroughly explored

What an intricate and engaging puzzle till the very end! Really enjoyed the initial opening, and then a couple of crazy interactions in the middle, I was a bit slipped at that point too :P

Very beautiful and original logic. A true master combining two rulesets.

Vet nicely constructed puzzle. Everything clicks together in a really satisfying way!
Thanks for this gem

I kept making this puzzle harder on myself, looking for a long chain that would somehow disprove something... And then finally noticing a much more reasonable deduction. Very glad those chains never led to anything concrete, since this solve path is actually very straightforward (and hard to spot step-by-step)

Amazing puzzle. The logic really broke my brain, but it is fascinating how these constraints interact in surprising ways!

Lovely puzzle! What a great between lines workout. From the elegant break-in to the fun tricks along the way all the way to the ending, this puzzle utilizes quad clues and geometry in a way I was never expecting! Great stuff :)

Very nice and hard! Thank you

Hard nut but doable. I had to use small bifurcations to remove candidates from circles when I couldn't figure out the logic but I always knew where to look for. Beautiful intricate logic.
