[Fog of War Series] 3. Jumpgate Portals
(Published on 28. October 2022, 05:51 by AstralSky)
Inspired by the game Portal 2. Thinking it may be fun to combine Portals in a FoW puzzle.
Rules
Partial fog: Not all cells will clear surrounding fog when its digit is placed correctly. So it doesn`t mean you`re on the wrong way if a cell happen to be not clearing fog. Bulbs inside the grid is completely cosmetic.
- 1.Normal Sudoku Rules apply.
- 2.Digits along an arrow must sum to its attached circle. Digits may repeat on an arrow if allowed.All arrow circles are single digit number and arrows don`t intersect nor overlap.
- 3.Bulbs outside shot light beams in its direction.Digits along a light beam cannot repeat.Glowing star means a light beam go out from here.Not all stars are given.
- 4.There are four pairs of Portals. Portals of the same color have the same digit and different color Portals have different digits. Every box contains at most one Portal. Whenever light beam enters a Portal, it continues from the other Portal of the same color in its original direction.

The hardest part about this puzzle was unfortunately to interpret the rules. Once I managed to do that (with some discussion with another solver) the solve was nice and rather straight forward in a way. Not necessarily easy, just a nice flow to it.

Brilliant puzzle combining 2 rare ideas. Portals are really fun, especially when you can't see them :)

Great puzzle. I liked proving where the portals must be, even though I cannot see them.
