Twice What?
(Published yesterday, 11:40 by wuc)
I am very curious about your difficulty ratings here. I see it between 2* and 3*. Have fun and leave a comment.
Rules:
Standard sudoku rules apply.
Polar Doublers: 9 cells in the grid are doublers, one per row, column, and 3x3 box, each containing a different digit. The VALUE of a doubler cell is either double the digit in that cell or minus double the digit in that cell (e.g. a digit 6 in a doubler cell can have a value of 12 or -12).
Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide each blue line into segments with the same sum of VALUES.
Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the VALUE shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
Solution code: DIGITS in doubler cells, top to bottom.

I'm almost at the end of the puzzle (I've been enjoying it quite a bit) but I can't see how this resolves uniquely. As far as I can tell, there are 3 solutions right now. Is there perhaps a missing clue?

Yeah, 3 solutions. Maybe you could add a clue to disambiguate.

Same situation as other folks; 3 possible solutions (one branch that fully resolves; one that leads to an x-wing, both valid under the rules).
Up to that point, a quite enjoyable puzzle.

No unique solution, I found two. Thus, not very nice from a satisfaction point of view. Nice idea.

The puzzle is very nice, but it has 3 solutions... Luckily, the solution code is the same for all of them

Got stuck on the sum line in Box 4 into box 5 for quite a while. Dead Pattern at the end. But always awesome to look at a puzzle full of cursed cages ;) i'd say 2 stars at least.

Very fun puzzle, however there are multiple (3) solutions.

Neat idea, but the solution is not unique.

cage rule wording is wrong
