Slingshot Skirmish 2 - Counterattack
(Published on 7. April 2024, 11:28 by Allagem)
Round 2 of Slingshot Skirmish is here! This puzzle is a small step up in difficulty from the first puzzle, but hopefully should remain fairly approachable even for people new to the Slingshot constraint (first introduced by Stephane Bura
here). In case you missed the first Slingshot Skirmish from last week, I have included a link to it at the bottom of this page.
In case anyone is unfamiliar with slingshots, here is an easy 6x6 example.
Slingshots: The digit adjacent to the base of a bent arrow also appears in the direction of the arrow at the distance indicated by the digit on the arrow.

I hope you enjoy my latest puzzle and the second entry in the Slingshot Skirmish series, Counterattack!
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Renban Lines: Digits on a pink line form a non-repeating, consecutive set of numbers in any order.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line differ by 5 or more.
Slingshots: The digit adjacent to the base of a bent arrow also appears in the direction of the arrow at the distance indicated by the digit on the arrow. (For example, if r3c1 was 8 and r2c1 was 5, then r2c6 must also be 8.)

I'm amazed. It's perfectly symmetrical, with only the colors to differentiate the two sides. It depicts the theme artistically. And it solves smoothly with interesting deductions! How do you set such a perfect puzzle?

Neat and fun! Quite similar to #1, but I'm not complaining, I enjoyed both!
