Yin-Yang Miniman
Hey! I got the idea for this puzzle when setting my last one. This made me want to work the concept out further. It did seem to work better in a 6x6 grid. I am fairly new to setting and still figuring things out. This was my first attempt with Penpa+. Thank you for checking out my puzzle!
Rules
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply. Put the numbers 1 to 6 in every row, column and box.
Yin Yang: Shade some cells such that no 2x2 is entirely shaded or unshaded. And both form one orthogonally connected region.
Pointers: A digit in an arrow cells count how many cells are the same shading as itself in the indicated direction. (not including itself) Each direction is counted seperately.
Kropki: Digits connected by a white dot are consecutive.

This is a lot better than the rating would suggest.

Thanks for yor puzzle.
In case anyone was wondering you are counting all cells, it is not one of those puzzles where a change of colour blocks vision.
