At first glance it looked a bit tricky but it quickly unfolded nicely.
Off to try the rest of the series

I always love puzzles like this that hit the sweet spot of being very approachable but also has some interesting logic you still have to work out.
Thanks for setting juggler!

Great new idea ! Thanks for sharing with us.
I wonder whether the wording can be improved for the silent arrow constraint: actual wording does not make it 100% clear where the "diagonal" ends.

Very cool! Like everyone else, I thought it was going to be much harder than it ended up being. Really enjoyable ruleset.

Amazing! Looks deceptively hard at first, but is a rather easy and fun solve. Loved it

That was a fun one - quick to find the break in, and a smoothly flowing solve after that. Although it looks a little more daunting than that :D

I wonder if digits can repeat in cages. It's not in the rules

That was great! I wasn’t sure I was going to get this when I started, but very quickly it started to click together. Phenomenal setting! Thank you.
