The logic in this was masterfully incorporated! Thanks for the fun puzzle!

You're quite welcome, and I do appreciate the solve and kind words.

I loved the interactions between the cages along lines, plus the global deduction needed is very cool. Thank you for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed the puzzle, appreciate the solve and feedback.

Enjoyed that one - especially the 10-cell line ;)
-----
Thanks for the solve/feedback. I rather enjoyed that line myself!!

Thank you so much for setting this! Really enjoyed this, with its interesting mechanic.
Lost myself down a rabbit hole of colouring cells, but I think that may have helped as this didn’t feel as mine bending as other 4’s that I’ve done. Thanks again, excellent work

Thanks for the thorough feedback and the solve. I agree that this wasn't all that difficult, but with a couple of new rulesets, you have to allow for solvers to become accustomed to how they behave/interact.

took me a long time because I was sure that my understanding of the unique difference lines rule breaks all the laws in the universe, but turns out that it didn't, very clever construction
-----
Appreciate the kind words and solve. The lines are a little awkward at first, but I feel that they grow on you as you work your way through the puzzle.

Fantastic puzzle! Thanks, @ XeonRisq :). Also, thanks for your reply to my query; i had in fact already started working on the latter basis, as the former looked infeasible. Thanks :)
-----
Thanks for giving the puzzle a shot and the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the puzzle and your intuition was correct about the rule; the lines are just too long for the same difference per line.

Lovely sequel! Thanks for setting this puzzle. I also enjoyed that it came with a new flavour (or constraint if you prefer that terminology, but I like flavour because it reminds me of ice cream).
-----
That's great to hear!! And thrilled you enjoyed the follow up puzzle. (And who doesn't love ice cream?!?)

Can you please clarify the unique difference rule? Does it mean that for a given line, every pair of adjacent digits along the line will have the same difference, say "x", and that "x" will have a different value for every line? Or, does it mean that every pair of digits along a line will have a difference that no other pair of adjacent digits along that particular line will have? It looks like the latter, but just asking to be sure. Thanks.
-----
It's the latter.
Example of good line segment : 1-3-8-4
Differences of 2-5-4 (all unique)
Example of bad line segment : 1-3-5-9
Differences of 2-2-4 (difference of 2 repeats)

A new (to me) constraint with some lovely interactions. Thanks for setting this :)

Almost made it till the end. But code was not accepted. No idea, what I did wrong. I wonder about the "unique difference" of the top right angled line. There are 10 numbers on this line, i.e. 9 differences, which seems impossible.
-----
Sounds like you managed to work your way around the "triangle", but got tripped up on the additional line. If you give that line a little more thought, I'm sure things will fall into place. I assure you that this line does have a valid arrangement.

Wow,that's pretty interesting logic and amazing construction,but I think the potential of the combination of these rules is huge ,expect your next amazing puzzle ,maybe the next puzzle will have 5 stars difficulty(๑><๑)

Thanks for the detailed feedback and taking the time to solve this. Really glad you enjoyed the logic in this one.
