This might be the easiest implementation of this puzzle idea that I can imagine, without being a pushover :) Really well done! And such a nice flow.
There's an older puzzle by Qinlux which has unfortunately vanished from this server, but Simon of Cracking The Cryptic fame did solve it. See https://youtu.be/wszx7_3cDwc
Like Qinlux you might consider making a version for the color-blind, which I can demonstrate with my own example, replacing colors with alphabet: see puzzle id=0005MU
Here is a SudokuPad version with answer check, if desired: https://sudokupad.app/lvsflytofq

I either had the most convoluted solve path or this was not a 2 star. The puzzle is good nonetheless.

Updated Penpa+ link

That was a really nice one. Pure fun!
The penpa link is not working for me either. It seems like its the short link that has expired. With my extremely limited knowledge I made a messy hack job in f-puzzles and exported to SudokuPad: https://sudokupad.app/02j54lkm6p (note: this is not a proper puzzle, I just preferred it over paper, you need to apply the colors yourself)

The penpa link isn't working for me.

I'm a bit wary of puzzles that look like they involve a lot of arithmetic, but every step of this was a joy. Great job!

Quite an enjoyable little puzzle. The slowly collapsing degrees of freedom were fun.
I do somewhat wish the second half was as fun as the first, however -- after a few somewhat intricate steps, the rest was a cakewalk.

Definitely approachable, but still fun!
