Rules:
- Squishdoku: Place the digits 1 through 9 once each in every 3x3 box, without repeats in any row or column. Cells on region borders (dashed lines) are shared between multiple boxes.
- Dutch Flat Mates: Every 5 in the grid must have a 1 directly above it or a 9 directly below it. It may have both, but it doesn't need both.
- Renban: Digits on a pink line form a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
- Kropki: On a black dot, one digit is double the other.

For me definitely harder than 2 stars. But it was the first squishdoku for me, maybe it gets easier once I get used to it. Thanks for setting!

I liked how you have to switch your approach a few times. Very nice puzzle.

That was fun! Never tried squishdoku before.
