Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits along an arrow may repeat and must sum to the two-digit number in the arrow pill, which is read either left-to-right or top-to-bottom.

Good puzzle, solid 2*; anyone who thinks this is a 1* needs to stop patting themselves on the back for knowing all the 'tricks' to get several of the sums.

Thanks for setting! And for explaining the name on the solve screen. 16 minutes, no excel, but I did use a tool designed for killer sudoku cages.

That took me 70 minutes, a brief digression into a spreadsheet, and finally near the end I simply had to start testing combinations to see if I would eventually hit a contradiction.
I have no idea how it’s currently a 1 star difficulty.
Challenging fun puzzle, but man, I feel like a moron.
