Purple Archery Arrows
(Published on 9. October 2022, 17:25 by antiknight)
As I said in my previous puzzle , I came back to setting Antiknight puzzles and I think combining it with Renban and arrows can produce amazing logic. This is a quite hard puzzle but I think it's extremely enjoyable and as always any feedback is appreciated.
Rules:
1) Normal Sudoku rules apply:
Place the digits 1-9 into each cell of the grid. None of the rows, columns or boldly outlined 3x3 boxes contain repeated digits.
2) Normal Renban rules apply:
Digits along each renban line must be a set of consecutive digits in any order, and must not repeat.
3) Normal Arrows rules apply:
The digits along each arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell. Digits may repeat along an arrow if permitted by other rules.
4) Knight's move rules apply:
Digits must not repeat in cells that are a chess knight's move apart.

Well this was certainly a fun ride! Certainly challenging but at no point in the solve did I feel stuck, there was always something to think about and every step ultimately felt fair (even if they took some time for me to get).
- I'm happy you found it that way and enjoyed it :) Thanks for your comment.

So so so beautiful!! The interactions between the renban lines and the arrow circles were divine (this coming from someone who typically doesn’t like renban), and there were so many mindblowing moments. Definitely one of my favourite arrow puzzles I’ve solved in a while- thank you!
- Thank you so much for your kind words ! I'm really happy with how this puzzle ended up , and I'm glad it's one of your favorite arrow puzzles despite not liking Renban :)

Such a fun puzzle, hard too. It's always cool when familiar rule sets result in such an original puzzle.
- Thanks for your feedback and yes it's always nice to solve or set such puzzles :)
