Pleased you like constructing region sum lines. This was a hard minimalistic puzzle that was tough from start to finish but very enjoyable and satisfying. Thank you.

Quite Impressive. I solved this one twice. I must admit the first time I made assumptions, tried things, broke things, and struggled to the end. Then - the second time - the logic just popped out why this had to be that and this can't be that etc. Very well designed. Thanks!

Gorgeous puzzle! Unfortunately, I had a stupid oversight on the Box 1 line that forced me to rewind a lot. On the other hand, I had figured out so much at that point that I could swiftly finish the puzzle thereafter. Region sum lines allow for some beautiful interactions and this puzzle displays them at their best. Thank you very much for sharing this exceptional puzzle, Florian Wortmann!
