Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Draw a snake in the grid - a one-cell wide path of orthogonally connected cells that doesn't loop, branch or touch itself orthogonally or diagonally. Digit in a caged cell shows how many cells around it (up to 8) are on the snake. Number in the top-left corner of a cage shows the sum of digits in the snake cells around it. The caged cells cannot be on the snake.

Thoroughly enjoyable indeed. Especially liked the ? in r3c6, which kept me thinking for a bit longer than the given number would have.

First time I’ve attempted a snake puzzle, and loved it. Took me a good 15mins to get my head around the rules, especially without Simon from CTC demonstrating each rule set

I agree this was a GAS when it came to the snake, and I loved it since I'm also kinda bad at those types of puzzles. For some reason I found difficult to fill up the numbers, I had to take one guess as one point that luckily tuned out to be the correct answer, but I couldn't get to it logically. Must be just me though, I probably missed something. Thank you for the lovely setting!

I usually do not do snake puzzles as I find them difficult but this puzzle was really good and approachable

That was very cool. Usually with these type of puzzles the snaking vs sudokuing is very intermingled, here it almost felt like I was making two separate puzzles.

Incredibly clever and enjoyable while being approachable, which is nice beacuse I am not so good with snakes. Great puzzle!
