Very nice puzzle. It might indeed be 2* but I have to admit it took a while for me to get familiar with these arrows. Was kinda hard to keep track what restricted what at times.
But yeah, very fun in the end. Thanks Chilly!

Another great implementation of this ruleset! Lots of interesting interactions with the cages, and super smooth
Thanks MP - glad you enjoyed!

I enjoyed this. The logical flow is clean and smooth. 3 stars is way too high a difficulty rating imho.
Yeah - I think you're right. I was trying not to set levels too low with a newish rule set, but in this case 2* does seem right.
