Shima Yuteki (Shimaguni / Killer Sudoku Hybrid)
(Published on 7. May 2024, 08:17 by rockratzero)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Shimaguni rules apply. Shade an orthogonally connected group of cells within each dashed cage. Two shaded cells may not share a cage border. No two orthogonally touching cages may contain the same number of shaded cells.
-Circles are unshaded and contain the count of shaded cells in their cage.
-Small values in the top left of cages (if given) sum the digits in shaded cells in the cage. Digits may not repeat in shaded cells in the cage (no restriction on unshaded cells).
-Digits in cells joined by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio.

The search for the marked cells was awesome. Also had to do a little look ahead in the late game. Still a great puzzle thx.

Very fun puzzle! It was definitely 3 stars for difficulty for me.

Loved the shimaguni part. After that it got quite tough, in my view.

What a beauty! Flowing nicely throughout the solve, although you sometimes have to look closely for the next step. Loved it.

Listing this at 2*, although some testers though it a bit harder than that. Rate as you see fit. Have fun!
