Slingshot Skirmish 3 - Double-Barrel

(Published on 21. April 2024, 11:16 by Allagem)

It's time for round 3 of Slingshot Skirmish! Interesting things happen when you put two slingshots back-to-back and this puzzle is all about exploring that phenomenon. These double slingshots tend to be quite powerful and I managed to squeeze 6 of them into this grid, so the rest of the puzzle is incredibly sparse!

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 third entry in the Slingshot Skirmish series, Double-Barrel. Happy double slinging!

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. A double-headed arrow is just two slingshots back-to-back. (For example, if r3c1 was 2 and r4c1 was 6, then r3c3 must be 6 and r4c7 must be 2.)

An excellent addition to the series!

I pictured this round as a lightsaber battle, because of those two bright lines in the middle. And I suppose the slingshots could be force throws? :)

I never even thought of lightsabers, but I love the visual! Thanks for the solve and the kind words, Quilty :)
