I'm still just the sum of the cage
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits cannot repeat within a cage. The sum of the digits in a single cage is referred to as that cage's 'cage sum'. Cages of the same color have the same cage sum. Different colors may or may not have different cage sums.

Really enjoyed the break in for how you deduce the cage sum(s)

Got myself in a terrible mess with a bad pencil mark at the beginning that I didn't realize until I couldn't get the puzzle to solve. I really enjoyed the beginning logic to discover the cage sums. Thanks for the puzzle!

A bit on the easier side, but it just flowed so nicely for me. Very enjoyable.

Thank you for this fun puzzle, yttrio! I love puzzles in which you have to figure out the "true" nature of some clues as the cage sums in this one. The logical arguments felt natural and it was very rewarding to see how all the pairs resolved in the finish. Great setting!

Loved it! Very smooth solve path once you get the logic of the puzzle; only got stuck once because I missed a simple but very cool deduction.

I really enjoyed this. One definitely needs to know their math for this one. I'd give it two stars for difficulty.
