Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits in a circle must appear in at least one of the 4 surrounding cells. This digit must form part of a horizontal or vertical cycle of the corresponding length.
Cells form a horizontal cycle of length n within a row if, by repeatedly jumping to the column indicated by each cell's digit, it takes n jumps to return to the starting position -
e.g. C2=4 -> C4=1 -> C1=9 -> C9=2 -> C2=4.
A vertical cycle within a column is defined in a similar way -
e.g. R7=3 -> R3=5 -> R5=7 -> R7=3.

Absolutely brilliant construction. This deserves a lot more attention. Everyone should give this a try, there is some really beautiful logic hidden in this.

Delightful puzzle! Surprising amount of restrictiveness that just two little constraints give. Makes for a fun yet not too difficult solve path. Definitely a clever construction. Would play another if it existed!
