Although this grid better resembles a First Aid logo or Swiss Flag, I have named the puzzle "Krop-keyhole", simply because it is an improved sequel to a Kropki Cage puzzle I made named "Kropkeys", that I feel was not as impressive.
There is nothing revolutionary here, but if you are looking for a neat, minimalist grid with simple rules and pretty logic, I think this puzzle will hit the mark.
Rules:
1. Normal Sudoku rules apply.
2. Digits in a killer cage must sum to the given total in its top left.
3. Digits separated by a black dot must be of a 1:2 ratio.
4. Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
Happy solving!
Solution code: Input the digits in row 6 correctly, from left to right.

Really fun solve, mostly smooth with a couple unexpected steps in unexpected spots. Very, very nice setting.
