The Last Dance
This puzzle is in memory of my late mother who passed away in June 2020. I hope I made her proud
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply
2. Digits along an arrow sum up to digit in the circle.
3. In cages, digits sum to the total in the top left hand corner
4. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 relationship, ALL dots are given.
5. The clue outside the grid indicates the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal.
Lösungscode: Enter Row 2 and Row 4 digits. Do not use spaces

I restarted this thing a few times completely missing the negative constraint, until I noticed right at the end of solve go. That would have made this far easier.

@raretypeoffox I am looking at doing a 2nd version of this. I will take your comments on board. Thanks for telling me

In particular, please do not use the Standard label for Sudoku variants. Thanks.

The negative constraint here is very powerful and allows you to remove a few elements if you wanted to increase the difficulty slightly. I was able to complete this puzzle without using the killer cages in the SW, SE and NE corners (i.e. the 12, 16 and 18 cages).

@ako Thanks for the kind words. What did you think of the 33 clue at the end?

Great interplay. Might have gone even smoother, hadn't I forgotten avout the negative constraint; hadn't imagined it that powerful. Great, surprising finale too.

@slowbiex The 33 clue was there to disambiguates the 5 and 7, while keeping it looking similar. But I'm happy you liked it.

Beautiful puzzle and a great use of the black kropki constraint!

liked it, even if I almost missed the 33 clue in the end which disambiguates the 57 situation.
