What a beautiful puzzle. Even though it is small, it's brilliant.

Glad to see this one published here as well! It can absolutely stand on its own and is a worthwhile addition, not just as a warm-up to the 9x9, but it has surprising depth and cool logic for s small puzzle with what appears to be just a bunch of random squiggles!
- Sniglett - Thank you!
