Drunken Fish
Hi everyone, this is my first puzzle. I hope you enjoy it, I tried my best :)
Rules:
1. Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each row, column, and box.
2. Digits in a cage sum to the total in the top left. Digits cannot repeat in a cage.
3. Cells that are a chess king's move apart must not contain the same number.
4. Adjacent digits along a green German whisper line must differ by at least 5.
5. Digits along thermometers strictly increase from the bulb.
6. The cell marked with a grey square must contain an even digit. Cells with a circle contain an odd digit.
7. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (one digit is double the other). Not all dots are necessarily given.
8. The Grid is partially covered with Fog. Placing correct digits will remove the surrounding fog, no guessing is required
***(red circles/line is for decoration only)***
Please write comments and suggestions :)
Lösungscode: Digits in column 9 (9 digits total)

Great puzzle, very fun! I'll have what the fish is drinking :)
I agree that this version which provides fewer clues is better (compared to the version solved on CTC). Figuring out that last cage keeps things interesting at the end.

Lovely! What a great debut, I really enjoyed the break in and the clean, logical flow. For me, the perfect level of difficulty. Thanks, and happy new year.
(It's nice to hear that! Happy New Year!)

Found this puzzle because it was featured on CTC, but I tried the puzzle before watching the video. I got stuck early on with box 8, but I was able to figure out my problem just by reading the rule set Mark used in his video without even watching how he did the puzzle. I think the difference is the rules he posted in his video are more verbose in the description of where the cage total appears, allowing me to determine the shape of the cage.
Otherwise a nice puzzle!
(Thank you very much for solving my puzzle!
This is my first attempt, so people had difficulties understanding the red marks and the shape of the cage. I took into account the mistakes and will be more specific next time.)

If possible, could you update the description at sudokupad.app too? There are at least two copies out there without the red circle disclaimer.
Thanks for the puzzle, it was quite a challenge for a slow solver like me, but I enjoyed it.
(Thank you, I appreciate it!
I changed the description, but only the link provided here. Unfortunately, I can't change the copies, or at least I don't know how.)

I got a bit stuck with the break in in box 8. Nice nonetheless. Thanks.
(Yes, that was my main idea with r5c8 being the same number as r9c9. Many thanks! )

Thank you! It's a great puzzle, please make more.
Rules can include something like "red circles/line is for decoration only" to avoid confusion.
(I edited, thank you a lot!)
