This puzzle was inspired by Liescrapers and set for the sudoku adventure series. You can watch Rangsk solve it on youtube here.
Rules
Normal 6×6 Sudoku rules apply.
Buildings: The height of a building is the sum of its digits. Digits may repeat within a building.
Lakes: A digit on an arrow counts how many buildings are "seen" looking in the direction of the arrow. A building is seen if it is strictly higher than all buildings before it.
Example: The diagonal arrow on the top points at 3 buildings. If those buildings had the heights (5 5 6), then the arrow would contain a 2 since the second 5 is hidden.

I loved this so much. The only possible thing missing is miniature stop signs at the intersections (which, I guess means you're just gonna have to make more of these... shucks).
