Normal sudoku rules apply.
Little Killers: Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat if allowed by sudoku and line rules. Each Little Killer also must follow the specific special rule (1-8) listed below:
1.German Whisper: Adjacent digits on the Green Little Killer (56) must have a difference of five or more.
2. Parity Line: Digits on the Red Little Killer (R5C1: 25) alternate parity.
3. Region Sum Line: Box borders divide the Blue Little Killer (15) into segments with equal sums.
4. Palindrome: The digits on the Gray Little Killer (R5C9: 25) are in the same order, read from either end of the line.
5. Renban: Digits on the Purple Little Killer (20) form a consecutive set in any order.
6. Modular Line: Every three digits on the Teal Little Killer (30) include one of each mod 3 set (147, 258, 369).
7. Entropic Line: The Peach Little Killer (18) includes one low, medium, and high digit (123, 456, 789).
8. Same Difference Line: Adjacent digits along the Light Gray Little Killer (9) have the same difference, forming a sequence.
Lösungscode: Row 9

Easy break-in followed by a not so easy sudoku! Always nice to have puzzles that have some tough classic sudoku and not just some complex ruleset.

That was pretty hard. The lines resolved fairly easily but the sudoku was very tricky. Great setting.

Very nice, and at least another 3* puzzle added to my completed list!

Really enjoyed it throughout! I really liked some of the constraints with limited options. Requires thinking without operating as a human calculator.

Very nice play around the dual function of the dual killers, but after resolving it all, the remaining Sudoku was absolutely killing for me. I spent more time on that than on the Little Killers.
--I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle. My original idea was to make you solve for which killer matched which line color, but that turned out to be too difficult. With the colors given, some lines are easy to fill in but the sudoku is still tricky.
