Snakes and Ladders

Ok so I made this at the start of the year not knowing that the CTC discord had a monthly prompt going on which was to make a puzzle on a board game, this is purely a happy coincidence. I also got highlighted that discord user Oripy just so happened to make a very similar puzzle to me, so shout out to them as well.

• Normal sudoku rules apply.
• A game of snakes and ladders is taking place on the grid! Starting in cell 1 (bottom left), move along the grid to end up in cell 36 (top left).
• The digit in a cell that you are on tells you the number of cells that you move along. For example, if r6c1 is a 4, you would move along to cell 5, r6c5. The digit in cell 5 then tells you how far you move to your next cell, and so on.
• However, If you land on the base of a ladder, you instead move to the top of the ladder, and then continue as normal.
• Similarly, landing on the head of a snake moves you to the bottom of the snake, and you then continue as normal.
• Every ladder and snake must be ridden throughout the course of the game.
• Cell 36 will be landed on exactly, with the game never overshooting it. For example, if you were on cell 32, the digit in that cell could not be 5 or 6 as it would overshoot the end.
• Digits along a ladder must strictly increase from the base of the ladder to the top.
• Adjacent digits along a snake, or German Whisssssper line, must differ by at least 3.

I've been slacking in the puzzle setting department as of late, oopsie. Hopefully this will appease all my adoring fans.
