Sir Squishalot
(Published on 12. December 2023, 16:39 by Ratfinkz)
Several breakages later (and several cool geometry discoveries) with a lot of patience from Marty (Thanks Marty, literally couldn't have done it without you :D !) Sir Squishalot was the result!
Constraints used are squishdoku, anti-knight, killer cages and white kropki dots. (See puzzle instructions for details if you are unfamiliar with any)
Sudoku Pad Please note that due to an unknown and very weird bug, Sudoku pad cage calculator thinks it knows the contents of the 17 and 18 cage. At least one of these is wrong! I'd suggest ignoring!
Solution code: Row 4 left to right

This is the first squish puzzle I've tried, and if it weren't for this one I probably wouldn't have given the rule set a chance. Glad I did now, so thank you for setting such a nice one!

Having already set a number of squishdoku puzzles including one with a knights move constraint I thought I would move through this pretty easy. But actually there was a ton of new and beautiful geometric logic to be found in this gem.
You might be tempted to brute force your way through this, but that isn't necessary. There is beautiful logic that can guide you through this puzzle if you take the time to discover it.

Lovely bit of geometry to figure out in this one!

Thank you and thanks for the test

Was a pleasure to test this. Great little puzzle - Sir Squishalot has some very nice little tricks up his metal sleeve. I actually found this a lot harder than it looks at first glance, but it was thoroughly enjoyable throughout - there are definitely a couple of new squish + knight geometry deductions to realise that will help immensely. Brilliant idea from Ratfinkz, and very nicely executed

My very own knight in shining armour.....maybe I'll call you Sir Squishalot now haha! Thank you so much for everything!
