The rules are as follows:

• Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Saddle: The brown circle is a saddle point and is always connected to 4 brown lines representing a saddle. Moving away from a circle, digits on a line have to either strictly increase or decrease in relation to the number in the circle. Each circle has two opposite lines with increasing property and two opposite lines with decreasing property.
• German Whisper: Adjacent digits along a green German Whisper line must differ by at least 5.
• Quadruple: A digit in a white circle must appear in the four surrounding cells.
• There are no negative constraints.

While creating the puzzle, it started to look like a sword, turned into a christmas tree and now (to me) it looks like some kind of rocket or spaceship. Not really intended but I like the look of it :D

This one is supposed to be easy and I would rate it at 1/5. It is the easiest out of the three saddle rule puzzles that I created. If you have trouble understanding the ruleset, check out my first puzzle (Sandwich on a Saddle) where I try to explain the ruleset a bit better. I want to come up with more of these in the future and I would love to see some other setter(s) finding joy with the ruleset :)
