Great puzzle! Not overly difficult but very easy to make mistakes, I had to restart several times. Fun ruleset!

Glad you had fun with this. And I agree, during test solves I saw at least momentary mistakes, especially with arrow interactions. Thanks for the solve/feedback.

Brilliant puzzle (with a little scare at the end)! Beautiful interactions between the two constraints. I'm glad to see one of my favourite constraints, the remote sums, back. Thanks:)

Appreciate the gracious feedback, and thrilled you had a good time running through this one. I'll try to cook up some more ideas for puzzles with Remote Sums in the future!
