Title: Video Game

Rating: 3/5

The title for this sum puzzle was inspired by the feeling that I was staring at a game from my youth, and picturing how a little character would need to jump over the pits and up the steps.  The procedure for solving these puzzles might be logical, but the titles aren't necessarily so.

The official rules:

• The digits 1 through 9 appear in each row and each column exactly once.
• Digits in each shaded region must add to the indicated sum.   
• Squares with multiple colors contain a number that’s used in the sum for adjacent regions of each of those colors.  
• Remember: numbers can repeat within a shaded region if that doesn't violate the first rule.
