• Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Zipper Lines: Digits an equal distance from the centre of the purple line must sum to the digit in the centre of that purple line.
• Consecutive Sums: A clue outside the grid indicates the total of any digits in its row or column that neighbour at least one consecutive digit within that row or column. For example, if a column, reading downwards, contains the digits 128396547, the clue at the top of the column would be 18; the sum of 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, which are the only digits which neighbour a consecutive digit within that sequence.
• Cells across the black Kropki dot contain one digit double the other (1:2 ratio).
Hope you enjoy! 😄 - Any feedback or comments welcome!
Solution code: Row 2 (left to right) & Column 8 (top to bottom) (18 digits)

Definitely not easy for me, but very satisfying once things start to make sense.

Glad to see these outside clues being used and here they were used in a phenomenal way.
