I just wanted to spend a couple minutes staring at the grid before sleep, but it had such a beautiful flow that I just could not stop solving. Luckily it clicked together really well so I only lost (not a loss at all!) half an hour.

Absolutely magical indeed! For me, the difficulty was 4 stars. I got stuck at a few points but always thoroughly enjoyed working out the next geometric step. This is one of those puzzles that pulled me in deeper and deeper. Thank you for this stunning construction, Cane_Puzzles!
