Double the Math

(Published on 24. May 2021, 14:04 by Mad-Tyas)

Another small variation of a killer sudoku, in which the cage total must also be achieved by multiplying certain marked cells in the cage. Have fun!
This puzzle is a bit of a tutorial to get familiar with the variant. As a sequel, here is a puzzle ( Double the Math - Mystery ) in which the cage sums have to be found out by yourself.
I appreciate any kind of feedback.

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Killer sudoku: In cages digits must not be repeated and must add up to the total given in the top left corner of the cage.

Multiplication cells (green dots): The multiplication of all cells with a green dot in a cage must result in the cage total, too.

The colors of the cages are for clarity and have no further meaning. At the following link there is another killer sudoku with a small variation. Jumping Digits - Killer Sudoku

Solution code: Row 3 followed by column 6 (18 digits)

I tried this a month ago and got completely stuck, then tried it again today and solved it in 25 minutes. Very good puzzle, once you wrap your head around the logic

Used lighter colors for the cages for better legibility of the digits.

I think I personally preferred the old design. :/

I've tried it twice and it made me realize I am not very good at killer sudoku.
That said, great puzzle, I quite like what I attempted.

I changed the design for better outline of the cages + added a link to the sequel
