Polychrome

The idea for this Sudoku was "What if I removed some rules about killers and run with it?".


Rules:
  • Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  • Fog: The grid is covered by fog, placing a correct digit will clear the fog in surrounding cells.
  • Killer Cages: Digits in a cage form a set of non-repeating digits whose sum abides by the given total clue.
  • Polychromatic Killers: Cages of different colors may overlap.
  • Dizzy Killers: The total clue of a cage may be placed in any cell of the cage.
  • Odd: Digits on a grey circle are odd.
  • Kropky Dots: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are given.

I solved this, without using the three clues at the lower right corner of the grid which make me very confused. I don't know whether this is possible or I've gotten some mistake.

Fantastic puzzle! Polychromatic killers are a great concept, and the possibilities of that rule are explored in really interesting ways.
