Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop may not touch itself, not even diagonally.
The loop acts as a region sum line: box borders divide the loop into segments with the same sum.
White dots join cells with consecutive digits.
For each dot, exactly one of the cells touching the dot must be on the loop.
Solution code: Digits on the loop in row 4

Me too, about 35mins for the first digit but then another 5 to complete!! I can see why people voted 1*, the logic required is not advanced, but it is hard to put it all together.
I think an updated rating system where maybe the puzzles fall in a 1*,2* etc system for easy grouping, but maybe the spread of the voting is more visible in a little bar chart? Or the ratings are a little more nuanced, eg 1.1* vs a 1.9*

Tough but satisfying. Not a 1*.

Very fun puzzle, quite complicated though. This is absolutely not a 1*, it's incredible how this has been voted as such. Definite 2*

Took me about 40 minutes to get my first digit, but then finished in a couple minutes! Def more than 1* for me

I don't think I've ever had to bifurcate as much in any other 6x6 1*

Thank you for this nice snack time puzzle.

This was quite neat, but for sure more challenging that 1*, imho.
