Sudoku: Normal sudoku rules apply within and among boxes, as if the (correctly-aligned) 9 boxes formed a typical 9x9 sudoku grid.
Arrows: Digits along an arrow must sum to the total in the associated circle, and may repeat, subject to the other rules. Arrow and arrow circle cells in between boxes must be filled with a single non-negative integer digit (i.e., 0-9), but need not follow the other rules of sudoku.

Play on the CTC app
I've also created a rectilinear version for those who are really struggling with scanning the misaligned boxes.

Solution code: Box 7 (left-right, top-down) followed by box 4 (left-right, top-down). 18 digits, no spaces.

Thank you for making a rectilinear version of this! I don't think I would ever be able to solve this without it.

Brilliant puzzle! I definitely needed the rectangular version to wrap my head around it, but it was joy the whole way through :-)

This was a fun journey, not too challenging and I was impressed after finishing it. I enjoyed it a lot :)
