I made this harder than it needed to be, but still enjoyed it. Took me 32:33...got stalled quite a bit after the initial break-in, then i was able to get through it. Hadn't seen of these types before. Nice idea and great exexcution.

Great puzzle, loved it! I stumbled a bit at the end because i missed the sequentially part of the rules and thought the puzzle has two solutions. What confused me even more was, that the solution code allows for both the correct and incorrect solution to be used. Of course this is, if even, just a minor flaw of an otherwise amazing puzzle. Thank you for setting this :-)

Loved the doubled arrow constraint. Beautiful puzzle construction. I thought it pretty hard for 2 stars, but then I can rarely solve 3 star puzzles without help. Many thanks.

It’s rare that puzzles flow so well and after the (quite gentle) break-in this one seemed to solve on its own.

Break in was trickier than expected for a 2 star, but loved the solve. Wonderful puzzle.

Thank you Richard for the patience and the many hints until I finally noticed or understood the rule with *sequentially*. Before that I tried to solve it for 3 hours, after that it was a very nice puzzle.

@ArnulfKoch: I have made your comment a hidden comment and have written the first step for you. From your words, I can derive that you were almost there, so I gave you the finishing touch for the entry. From there it should flow...

This was really enjoyable, the solve path was linear but telegraphed very well. I particularly enjoyed some deductions around box 8 :) thank you!

Numbering is incorrect. 373 should be 391.
