Took me 2 tries because I messed up somewhere and couldn't find the point I took a wrong turn. A harder 2* in my opinion but a very pleasant experience for me.
Thanks for setting

3 star for me, I think the nature of the scanning just makes this a little tricky to resolve. Very pretty though

Very Cool Logic, Felt just closer to 3 than 2, for me. But I can see it either way. The rules interaction was novel for me. Thanks!

22 minutes for me, so definitely not as hard as 3/5. Nice work Jobo. :)

Beautiful puzzle. 2 stars for me because of my solve time, very smooth. Thank you

I agree with you Jobo. This is clearly a lovely 2* puzzle. It took me around half an hour and I am clearly not a rocket.

Hey guys, I'm sorry to hear that your solving experience was not completely satisfying, but I can assure you there is no intended 3 star logic in this puzzle (I realize that is open for interpretation, I'm comparing with some of my previous actual 3 star puzzles). If you found the puzzle to be harder than expected, it's probably because you missed a bit of intended logic. I don't want to post spoilers here for other solvers but feel free to message me on discord if you're interested in more details. Thanks for playing and commenting!

Agree on ***. One logic in particular, in the middle game, was really hard to see. I took an educated guess, which turned out to be right, and only after it solved I came back to that point and finally saw what the logic was.

Great Scott, three hours for me. Don't know if I missed some logic that would have unlocked it faster but I did finally make it!

Very good puzzle. I suggest 3 stars of difficulty, though.
