*** Today's Sudoku ***
This is an awesome take on the "Squid Game" Red Light Green Light from the Netflix series from Piatato. It's such a clever implementation of the idea and SO much fun to solve. Play the puzzle at the following link:

Version with plain rules:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/hnrnDL7Q8L
Rules (flavour text version):
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage (if given). Digits cannot repeat within a cage. The solver must run along an orthogonally connected path that starts and ends in the green cells. While on a green light, the solver must run as fast as they can and while on a red light they must try not to move. Speed is represented by the value of the digits! The solver is on a green light as long as the path goes on cells that aren't part of a killer cage. On these green cells the solver must keep up speed thus these cells must all contain high digits (6 or higher). If the path crosses a killer cage, the solver has got a red light. Here the solver must stay as still as they can in order not to be killed thus the red cells must contain low digits (4 or lower). The path does not touch itself orthogonally or diagonally.
Rules (plain version):
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage (if given). Digits cannot repeat within a cage. Find an orthogonally connected path that starts and ends in the green cells. Digits on the path that are inside killer cages must be low (4 or lower); cells on the path that are outside of killer cages must be high (6 or higher). The path does not touch itself orthogonally or diagonally.
