This is one of the best puzzles I have solved! It took a while but did not feel like a 5 star difficulty puzzle. Thank you very much for the puzzle.

Very nice puzzle and inventive ruleset! These diagonal arrows were sneaky.

This was EPIC. I love how the clues play multiple roles, near and far, and both early and late in the game. Great logic on both the shapes and the numbers. I really want to know how you set it :-)

The ending was cruel!
spotting that arrow after spending 2 hours at the bottom took me very long XD.
very cool puzzle overall!

Wow we really get lost in that puzzle. To get around the rules is not tricky, but to find where the next step is is a lot. Cool puzzle

Fun puzzle!
Very interesting and unique ruleset, with some cool interactions, especially in the region building.

Amazing from start to finish, I loved how clues just bobbed and weaved into relevance.

Such a great puzzle, and one of the toughest I've ever solved. I don't always have the attention span for the really tough ones, so it speaks to how well-constructed this is that I was so engaged for the entire [amount of time redacted]
