Caged Arrows Sudoku
(Published on 7. April 2021, 14:28 by Vyse)
Numbers in cells must sum to the total given in the top left corner of each cell.
Numbers along an arrow must sum to the number shown in the circeled cell at the end of each arrow.
Coloring is meaningless and intended as a visual aid.
This is my first Sudoku, so any kind of feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated!
Special thanks go out to Cracking the Cryptic's youtube channel and especially to jo_vial's video about setting Sudokus, which gave me the idea to try making my own puzzle.
Solution code: Row 7, followed by column 9

Thanks for the puzzle. I found it very challenging and if I rated difficulty on the number of times I just scrapped my progress and started over, that would be a "4" ;-)
Not sure why I struggled so much (simple math I think), but thanks for the inspiration of caging other clues. I am using that in my next construction.

Fun, but I'd prefer if the colour wasn't in fpuzzles because I use my own to solve and it's annoying not being able to use white.
I had to edit the puzzle to delete the colours before beginning.

Really really entertaining puzzle. Difficult, but not impossible. Useful for improving my (or anyone's) logic skills.

Die Lösung ist korrekt, vielleicht ein Tippfehler bei der Lösungseingabe?

Really fun puzzle. 2 stars feels about right to me but that's great. The site needs more 2-3 level puzzles that are actually interesting and this fits the bill. I am also a relatively new setter, so I'm glad to see you getting such a good rating right away. Keep at it! I look forward to more.

Gelungener Start! Ich war auch von CtC motiviert und – wie Simon immer so schön sagt – ich würde höchstens empfehlen die gelbe Farbe zu vermeiden weil man das so schlecht vom Cursor unterscheiden kann. Sonst echt top!

Lowered the difficulty to two stars after initial feedback.

genau, das ist ziemlich leicht, aber schön

Good first question, but the difficulty is at most two stars.
