Connecting with Pointy-Heads (Arrows, Renbans)
(Published on 30. July 2023, 14:28 by gdc)
After "Point to The Difference" got live-solved on BremSter's youtube channel, I decided to create some beginner friendly puzzles again. Compared to "Point to The Difference", the solve path is more narrow but I tried my best to lead the solver's eyes to the right spots at all timies and make it very approachable.
Up until the finishing stage of the solve (when all arrow-cells are filled), there should be clear reward singnals telling you if you are looking at the right part of the grid. Happy solving and let me know how you got on with it in the comments. Constructive criticism is also welcome of course!

Rules
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow's circle.
- Digits placed on purple Renban Lines must be a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits, in any order.
Remark
I posted this puzzle yesterday in the CtC discord for feedback, hence there are already some solves in the sudokupad solve counter. Thanks cornish-john and Emphyrio for your comments!
Solution code: Row 1 (9 digits)

Thank you for sharing this fun puzzle, gdc! I think you have really achieved your goal to create an approachable puzzle. I quickly found a break-in and always had some puzzle element to look at. Therefore the solve went very smooth.
