Ocarina
(Published on 23. January 2024, 16:40 by IAlreadyHaveAKey)
This is my first attempt at creating a puzzle so any feedback is welcome :) It was inspired by Aspartagcus's puzzle "Kalimba" featured on CTC recently, where the grid was made to look like a Kalimba. I've tried to make the grid look like an Ocarina.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits in cages sum to the total given in the top left corner of the cage.
Consecutive digits along the green line must have a difference of at least 5.
Digits separated by a black dot form a ratio of 1:2.
Digits separated by an X sum to 10 and digits separated by a V sum to 5.
Solution code: Column 6, top to bottom

Nice first puzzle, fairly straightforward and more importantly a pleasant solve.

Very nice, especially for a first puzzle! Nothing too tricky, but there were still a couple of really interesting deductions (at least with the solve path I ended up using).
