Missing Shoes - Nala!? (Nala’s Adventures #3)

(Published on 21. July 2023, 14:52 by SandraNala)

Missing Shoes - Nala!?

Nala has a tendency to pick the first thing she can find that looks „toy-ish“ when she wants to play. In this case she took a pair of shoes that has been missing since. Can you help us find it?

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

The sum of the digits along a „double arrow“ is equal to the sum of the digits in circles attached to either end of the line. Each double arrow has its own color. Elements do the same color are connected.

Digits in killer cages sum to the number in the top left corner (if given) and cannot repeat. Each killer cage has its own color. Elements of the same color are connected.

Additionally the grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from surrounding cells, possibly revealing more clues. (And a pair of missing shoes)!

Solution code: Digits from Column 9 (from top to bottom):

Fantastisches Rätsel. Bis zum Schluss. Leider war das Bild am Ende bei mir nur ein "Datei"-Zeichen. Aber das verkrafte ich. :) Frohe Ostern.

Danke! :) das „Datei“-Zeichen könnte leider noch häufiger auftauchen. Ab „Another Lost Toy“ habe ich dann keine Emoji mehr eingefügt, sondern selber gemalt. Dann kommen keine Datei Zeichen mehr, sondern hübsche Bilder!
Liebe Grüße
Sandra

Think I attacked this the wrong way, but still very nice

Took me 104:06 however, once I got the crayons out (Thanks to Chilly), it solved really nice!

Some cages are a bit hard to see - maybe you could go for slightly darker versions or colors with a better contrast.

Sandra here: thank you for the feedback. The colors are mainly chosen like that to be colorblind-friendly(-ish) (allowing to distinguish between high and low contrast or dark and light color). I will consider making 2 versions in the future - one with bright colors and one that has colors that are distinguishable for people with colourblindness!

Aber eindeutig 4* für mich :D
