Deep Space (Entropy Antimatter)
(Published on 24. April 2024, 23:11 by Mad-Tyas)
Rules:
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and marked 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Silence Lines: The "values" of adjacent cells along lines have to differ by at least 10.
Killer: In cages marked with a black dashed line digits must not repeat and the "values" have to add up to the total given in the top left corner of the cage.
Entropy: Each 2x2 box in the grid has to contain a low digit (1, 2, 3), a middle digit (4, 5, 6) and a high digit (7, 8, 9).
Antimatter: If a digit is orthogonally adjacent to one or more digits of the same entropy group (i.e. {123}, {456} and {789}) its "value" becomes negative.
Have fun solving!

Gorgeous puzzle! Very hard, one of the hardest of the entropy series. I knew how my pencil marked digits had to resolve, but still could not find the path easily. It was like a huge maze where I had to find an well hidden exit. I'm so glad I finally made it. I think I solved all your entropy puzzles by now. Thank you for all of them!
-Reply: Thank you very much, Snookerfan! It's a remarkable achievement to solve all my entropy puzzles and I feel honored you took the time to do that. And I'm very pleased you enjoyed it.
After reading this comment I wanted to create something special to honor your achievement. So my new puzzle is dedicated to you.

Took me a bit to understand the relationship between digits on lines but the puzzle flowed super well. Fantastic but very hard
