So mnasti2 kindly asked for more puzzles using the slingshot variant.

  • Normal sudoku rules apply.
  • The grid is projective:
    • Each edge of the grid is considered to be adjacent/orthogonal to its diametrically opposite edge. (For example, r2c1 is considered orthogonally adjacent to r8c9.)
    • Coloring on the edge indicates this identification.
    • Diagonals wrap around diametrically opposite sides of the grid and reverse their orientation. (For example, a diagonal going through the NW corner of r4c1 would wrap to a diagonal entering r7c9 from its NE corner, and a diagonal going NW through r1c1 turns back on itself going SE through r1c1 itself.)
  • Slingshot arrows: If a bent arrow is present in a cell, the digit in the cell the arrow comes from appears in the grid in the direction of the arrow at a distance of N cells, where N is the digit in the arrow’s cell. (For example, if r2c1 contained the digit 6 then r8c1 and r8c9 would have the same digit.)
  • Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.

Fun and unique take on slingshots! If you can wrap your head around the geometry the difficulty is around 1.5 imo

That was great (at least when I remembered the rules). Thanks!
