It is a 1* puzzle but don't let the rating fool you, it is very tricky!

I enjoyed the puzzle, thank you! I understood where to go at the end, yet wasn’t quite sure how to logically justify it. I’ll look at it again and see if I can figure it out!

Loved the work the 29 did throughout the puzzle!

Lovely puzzle! I also got stuck 3/4s of the way through but fortunately didn't have to resort to colouring. A great blend between easy & more difficult sections.

Thank you for this exceptionally good killer/little killer puzzle, SneakySteve! When I first looked at the grid, I thought "How odd, I know already all cages ..." and then the logic that came from it was just gorgeous. In particular, the 29 and 49 diagonals felt like the stars of the show. Thank you for setting and sharing!

I was going to give that One Star until about 3/4ths of the way through, when a certain killer arrow was still being stubborn and I had to resort to some colorful tactics to finish. Well done.
