Normal Sudoku rules apply.
VERMICIOUS KNIDS
- Every group of cells containing a Vermicious Knid has the same sum.
- Every eyeball is a "numbered rooms" clue, i.e. its digit appears N steps away in the direction seen, where N is the first digit seen.
- Every eyeball has a different digit.

I tripped and stumbled over the Knids a bit but I managed to escape!
