Very enjoyable puzzle, thank you 10feet!
I feel like these rule sets are favourable for me as I've struggled with plenty of 2 star puzzles more than I did with this one. Somehow these circled digits give me something to lean on that some more vague puzzles are lacking.

Very nice puzzle. It was moderately harder than expected. I'd give it a 2.5

This was a joy! The way the quads and the arrows played off each other was a treat.
Thanks for taking your time to set this!

Thanks for the kind words.
I definitely struggle to set difficulty. Though on some of my puzzles I've gotten a range of 2-5 stars so who knows.
