I got the idea for combining orbital whispers with doubler cells by watching Mark from Cracking the Cryptic play through "Orbit".
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 9 appear in every row, column, and box.
- Doubler cells: Shade nine cells so that there is exactly one shaded cell in each row, column and box. Shaded cells cannot contain repeated digits. If D is a digit in a shaded cell, the value of that shaded cell is 2x D. Values of non-shaded cells are the same as the digit they contain.
- Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and their values must sum to the number shown in the upper left corner of the cage. There is a doubler cell in every cage.
- Orbital Whispers: Shown as navy blue lines, adjacent values along a Orbital Whispers line must differ by at least eight.
- Kropki pairs: Values in cells separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Values in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.

Took me a while to get a handle on the doublers... Great idea!

A lovely iteration of the orbital whisper rule!

I really loved this sudoku, thank you. Not to hard and to easy!
