Flashlight Sudoku
I've been creating many new variants lately, and this is one of them. I've tried as hard as I can to make an approachable puzzle with a rewarding solve path, and I think I have done a good job with this puzzle. Rules are below the image.
Available to solve on:
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.
Flashlights: Cells with circles inside of them are flashlights. Starting from a circle, digits strictly decrease in one direction and end at an edge of the sudoku. There must be at least one cell in this direction. Every other cell that is orthogonally connected to a circle must be greater than the digit in the circle and can repeat if allowed by other rules.
The rules may be difficult to understand, so here is a 6x6 example puzzle to demonstrate the constraint.

Cool idea and a very nice implementation in this puzzle ! Fun beginning and then it turns into a surprisingly resisting sudoku that required some nice deductions.
