Killer cages - Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the number in the upper left corner of the cage.

Definitely easier than Skysitter, especially with the killer calculator. I liked the interactions, but didn't find anything especially sneaky.

This one felt easier to spot the tricks than Skyskitter, happy to finally have gotten past this boss in Sudokuvania! Thanks for setting!

Nice! Some quite sneaky steps, but nothing unfair!

Great puzzle. To me 4*. Multiple hard to see ideas. Very rewarding if you fight through. Loved the box 9 ideas very much. Thx for sharing.
