Ant Mill Sudoku
I really like how this turned out! Enjoy!
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and box with no repetition.
Ant Mill Rules Apply
Shade some dominoes in the grid to form a single loop.
- Two dominoes may not be orthogonally adjacent.
- Every domino is diagonally adjacent to exactly two other dominoes.
- All dominoes form a diagonally connected area.
- Cells separated by a white circle must both be shaded or both be unshaded.
- An X mark overlaps exactly one shaded cell.
Additionally, treat all shaded dominoes as 2-cell "Killer Cages" with values of '9'. The two digits in each of these cages will sum to '9'.
Cells connected by an X sum to 10. Cells connected by a white circle (kropki dot) are consecutive. Not all possible Xs and dots are given. Links

That was a very cool puzzle! I stumbled at first, but it became incredibly smooth once I started asking myself the right questions. Very well done creating this really cool puzzle!
