I have trouble with arrow puzzles, but I had the idea that if I just kept trying such and so then I would discover the wonderful break in. When it actually worked I was shocked. 5-star, very satisfying to find, and I assume there’s really no brute force workaround without it. Everything after that was smooth and maybe 3.5 stars.

Break-in really hard but satisfying! Afterward everything flows

Between 4 and 5 stars for me, so I gave 5 because the break in is the hardest part in my opinion and it will keep you out unless you have decent idea on how to approach it. If you do, it's a super smooth puzzle though. Great fun.

Great puzzle with a lovely break-in! Indeed, as said by others, after finding that it becomes really smooth. Thank you

Very nice, particularly the break-in. It did not get much easier for me after the break-in, so 5 stars seems fair (maybe I missed something tho).

Pretty good...The difficulty is about 4/5

You need a strong break in, then the rest is easy.
If you have a good plan, the break in is not to hard to find. But if you don't, you are lost.

Definitely 5-star logic!
