Just Another Pure Killer
Recently I haven't had much time for puzzling. I normally would spend a few hours every week solving or creating puzzles. But, due to life being life and priorities, I've recently significantly cut down my puzzling time. However, I haven't been able to fully resist the itch (even though I should be). Here is a puzzle that I've spent the small amount of free time that I do have making. Hope you enjoy.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Killer: Digits in a cage sum to the given total. Digits in a cage do not repeat.
Also, if there are any puzzles that have come out recently that you've really enjoyed (it doesn't just have to be Sudoku), drop them in the comments for me to check out later since I don't have any solving time. Then, when my schedule frees up again, I can hop to them at a later date. Thanks :)
Lösungscode: Row 4

Absolutely beautiful geometry interactions between the cages led to this being the type of puzzle where every deduction or note I put in the grid felt very earned, yet it wasn't too difficult. I rated 2 because some of the things I noted felt like they needed more than just approachable level thinking, but once that initial few steps were done and I got some digits in the rest of the solve fell into place quite quickly. 25:43 for me

Beautiful puzzle! Personally, more of a 1.5-2* difficulty.

Best approachable killer I have ever seen. Super silky solve path. Thank you.

That is very high praise considering some of the amazing puzzles that get posted here! I’m glad you enjoyed this that much :) I’m more partial to sujoyku’s killer puzzles over mine though ;)

I can see a 1* rating, but my instinct is to mark it a 2*. Took 8:11, a good bit longer than it takes for most 1*. Regardless, super nice puzzle. Excellent execution!

Wow! An 8 minute time for two stars? You’re definitely way more seasoned of a solver than myself :) glad you enjoyed the puzzle and I could see someone seeing this as a 2 star

Lovely!
Certainly 1* with some experience, but some of the logic required is far from trivial.

Thank you Blashyrk! Glad you enjoyed :)
