I Literally Can't Even

- Normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply.
- Each circle is odd, and indicates the number of odd digits in its outlined area.
- If a circle has spikes, an odd number of orthogonally adjacent cells have smaller digits. (Example: if a spiked circle had a 3, its neighbors might be 2,4,4,6 because one of those is smaller than 3, and 1 is an odd number).
Solution code: Row 6

The logic is pretty straightforward, and it's approachable for me.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to remember that all circled digits are odd. That made the puzzle very hard to start.
Really cool once I figured it out and got going!

Fun little puzzle. Neat minimal ruleset and solves cleanly.

I was stumped by what the spikes rule means. Otherwise a nice puzzle, thanks for setting!

my brain keeps interpreting the bottommost area as a highly abstracted cartoon dog. you can tell the dog is happy because of how its eye is shining.
