Pumped is a slang word from sport climbing which means that the lactic acid in your muscles is causing you to fatigue. I changed the name of this puzzle from Down Under to Pumped as I went through several versions and got exhausted by the rules.

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Each cage contains two orthogonally connected sets of cells (together these take all cells in the cages) which both independently sum to the clue (if given) without repeating digits (digits can repeat between the two sets). One of these sets, the pouch, must use less digits than the other set. Pouch cells from two different killer kangaroos can never touch orthogonally, as we don't want to confuse the joeys.

Cages without clues must satisfy the above rules for a cage value determined by the solver.

Here is an example puzzle which uses the same rules: Example link: SudokuPad
