(Published on 14. September 2023, 00:23 by JADE)
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply.
2. Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the total given in the upper left corner of the cage.
3. Digits within cages must strictly increase vertically, from bottom to top.
4. Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle and may repeat if allowed by other rules.
This is my first puzzle and I would love feedback!

Once I read that all the digits must increase vertically, the puzzle was much easier :). Whoops...
Loved the solve regardless of my oversight, nice puzzle!

Very enjoyable puzzle but I have to second Cabir. Thermometers instead of the new "vertically increasing" stipulation would have made the puzzle more economical, more solver-friendly, and exactly as much fun. Keep it up! And thanks for sharing.

Added CTC app link

A CTC-Link would be useful. Playing from a mobile, F-Puzzles won't work for me since the grid is so small I cannot decipher anything.

I really enjoyed this puzzle. Perhaps thermometers in the cages would clarify/reinforce the rules

I started without reading the rules, got to a certain point and thought, "what the heck am i supposed to do!" haha. then read about ascending cages. thanks for sharing.

Slight rules clarification.

Numbers strictly increase bottom to top. For example if there was a six cage, the lowest digit would be 1, then 2 above it, then 3 above that.

Strictly increase vertically… from up to down, down to up, or both ways?
