Rules:
Irregular Squishdoku: Place the digits 1 through 9 once each in every 9-cell region, without repeats in any row or column. Cells on region borders (dashed lines) are shared between multiple regions.
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.
Kropki Dots: White dots separate cells with consecutive digits. Black dots separate cells with digits in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.

I really enjoyed the irregular squishdoku... but I spent far, far too long bashing my head against a proverbial brick wall before remembering the dutch flat mates rule. Somehow that's the one rule I always seem to forget.
Needless to say once I realised, the whole thing unravelled very quickly because I had already done most of the hard work drastically overcomplicating things for myself!

Surprisingly more easier than regular squishdoku in my opinion. Still, the 3* are pretty much justified. Well constructed puzzle nonetheless!

For such an intimidating (but beautiful) looking grid, this unwinds so smoothly! Brilliant idea and really lovely execution :)
