Blast Off, by James Sinclair
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Purple lines contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
The sum of the digits inside each cage with a cell on the same purple line is also a non-repeating set of consecutive numbers (e.g. if the smallest cage sum in box one is 6, the other two cages would sum to 7 and 8). Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
(Note: there are two separate lines in box nine.)
Digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.

loved this puzzle .. was stuck for quite a while as well and came back and read Exigus’ comment and finished the puzzle maybe 3 minutes later.

Loved it. Was stuck for quite a bit until I realised there was one group of cages I forgot I had to make consecutive. Smooth after that. Thanks!

Excellent break-in and very smooth solve path (once I remembered that the renbans were also actual renbans as well as special ones....)

Fantastic and fun - laughed at the break-in. Enjoyed it. Understood the rules. However!! I kept treating the three cell renban in box 1 as a 2 cell and making a bad assumption - twice!! Third time was the charm. Thanks for the puzzle!
