I thought this was an interesting ruleset so I created my first arrow puzzle with it! Good luck!

.............................................

Puzzle: Are you bigger than me?

Rules:

Normal 9x9 Sudoku rules apply.

Kropki dots: Digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are given.

Arrows: The digit X in an arrow cell must see EXACTLY X adjacent cells that are strictly larger than X, in the direction of the arrow. A digit X in an arrow cell cannot see past a digit strictly smaller than X in the direction of the arrow. Digits can repeat on diagonal arrows if allowed by other rules. The digit X is never allowed to see itself.

E.g. An arrow pointing right in R1C1.

Row 1 examples:

Acceptable: 4 - 6-5-8-7 - 2 - 9-1-3

Unacceptable: 3 - 6-2-7 - 1 - 4-5-8-9 (Only sees 1 larger digit, should see 3)

Unacceptable: 2 - 6-5-7-8-9 - 1 - 4-3 (Sees 5 larger digits, should see 2)
