CHIP'S Challenge was a top-down tile-based puzzle video game originally published in 1989. This is a sudoku interpretation of that retro game - level 4.

CHIPS Sudoku Level 1
CHIPS Sudoku Level 2
CHIPS Sudoku Level 3

READ THE "BOARD/GRID" BELOW TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THESE RULES

Normal sudoku rules apply.
Cells joined by an X sum to 10. Cells joined by a white dot, digits are consecutive. Not all Xs and dots are given.
Given digits represent the starting level and ending portal level.
Two cells connected by the orange fire pit (dutch whisper) line must have a difference of at least 4.
The fire cell at centre of the fire pit is same digit as the start level digit.
The Chips (grey rectangles) form a set of the digits 1 to 9 - no repeats.
Killer cages, indicated by dotted lines, cannot have repeated digits and the digits in the cage sum to the total shown in the top-left corner. These killer cages are thermos - the digits increase from the bottom to the top.
Green and Blue toggle switch (small coloured circle) digits multiply to be equal to the sum of their respective coloured cage totals. The 3 blue toggle switch digits multiply to 12 + 6 = 18. The 3 green toggle switch digits multiply to 27 + 18 + 9 = 54.

Board/Grid:
----------------
Grey square walls divide the grid into rooms that have white square floor tiles. Some walls are missing from this interpretation.
The fire cell and chips in the bottom left corner would normally be hidden under movable floor blocks. Moving the hidden fire cell floor block results in death and you are restarted back at the level start position.
The caged green doors are 1 opened and 1 closed and their associated green toggle switch flips these door states to gain access to the rooms and chips.
The caged blue blockers are shown in their starting positions and the blue toggle switches switch both caged blockers together from the top of the cage to the bottom of the cage and vice versa to allow access to the path to the Chip.
Chips are grey larger rectangles on a white floor tile.
A large socket protects the level 5 portal at the left centre of the grid. The correct chip in the socket opens the portal.
