I rated this 2/5 difficulty.
Nice approachable puzzle with good pacing and a solid break-in. I was tempted to rate this 1/5 difficulty as I found the break-in very approachable & straightforward, but the mid game/final disambiguation for 6-sums was a bit more difficult than the rest so I decided on 2/5 difficulty.
Fun solve and a good puzzle difficulty level for beginner-intermediate solvers. Even though it wasn't too difficult, it never felt trivial and was engaging throughout.
I approached the solve by coloring 'important'/repeated cells, and I thought that it was actually quite nice how the break-in allowed me to color all of those cells without experimenting too much. I found it straightforward to determine which cells needed be colored, and coloring one set of cells later informed the next set of cells I would color, and so on. I think the setting in this regard was done very well. It was very nice how the coloring and arrow logic was able to disambiguate several digits simultaneously.
Great job!

Thank you for this great puzzle, Visumation! Funnily, I think I managed the break-in reasonably quickly, but found the finish to be more challenging. But be that as it may, it was really enjoyable to figure out the arrow/cage interactions. Thank you for setting and sharing!
