Sudomino
Rules:
Each digit from 1 to 8 must appear eight times in the grid. Some digits from 1 to 8 are sudoku digits and the others are omino digits. All instances of a particular digit are of the same type. For each digit, its type must be determined. A sudoku digit must appear exactly once in every row, column and box. An omino digit indicates the size of its omino (an omino is a group of orthogonally connected cells containing identical omino digits.) Two ominos of the same size may not touch each other - not even diagonally. For a digit in a circle, it indicates exactly how many circles contain that digit. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive digits.
Solution code: Column 1 followed by column 2.

Awesome puzzle! It looks impossible at first, but it's surprisingly doable after some careful thought. Provides fun logic all the way to the end.

Suprisingly strange, like a gift wrapped in horsepaper, that when unwrapped turns out to be a unicorn, wait...what?

The puzzle required to pour quite some thought into in order to place the first digit. I loved it. Thank you!
