Very nice minimalism, and a wide variety of logic! 2.5 stars for me :)

I feel like the deductions, though none was particularly tricky, were discovered using a wide variety of methods. It made the overall difficulty of the puzzle hard for me to evaluate. I feel like 2 stars could be fair, but as someone also mentioned, it took me a bit longer than other 2-star rated puzzles, and also left me with an impression of richness that seems to deserve more than 2 stars. I abstained rating the difficulty because I'm unsure, and only rated the beauty of it, which got my full approval. Thanks!

I'd genuinely love to know how I was supposed to solve this because I don't normally take 63 mins to solve a 2* xD but thank you for setting this because it was lovely :)
EDIT: I am glad you enjoyed it. I am surprised it ended up as 2/5 in the end as I felt there were enough tricky spots for it to be a 3/5 - but the solvers have spoken!

Cool ending but it's at most 2 stars :)

Nice minimalistic puzzle! I don't think it's anywhere close to 3/5, though, it at least felt like 1.4/5 for me. :)
