Centipede
(Published on 17. June 2024, 16:00 by Blobz)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Adjacent digits along the centipede differ by at least 5.
A digit on a mushroom indicates how many mushrooms contain that digit.
White dots separate consecutive digits.
Digits on the pink cannon form a non-repeating consecutive sequence.

Loved the puzzle, brought back childhood memories!
Had a lot of trouble breaking into the puzzle, so for me it was definitely a 2 star.
But then it was flowing very nicely.
Thank you!

Love the theme too.
Tricky break-in for me, but I felt I should have got it much faster. Anyhoo once you got over that hurdle it flowed pretty quickly.
2-star IMO

Very nice, and a great themed puzzle! I tend to agree with the ranking -- 2/5 if you have zero experience with the "mushroom" ruleset, and 1/5 if you have done those kinds of puzzles before.
PS: is there a name for the "mushroom logic" ruleset? I can't remember it!

Very very nice puzzle!
I agree with @wuc. Although my solving time was almost like a 1 star puzzle it felt a bit more difficult.
Thanks for sharing!

I like the theme and the constraints. To me it was rather 2 star. The break in besides a few obvous was not easy and needed some tryouts. Thx for sharing.
