Hello, I've just set my first sudoku puzzle.
It takes inspiration from this game.
I would like feedback on the rules and difficulty level, before submitting it. Are the rules clear enough? Do they need rewording? I've also made a small training puzzle to show how the "plumbing" rules work. Beware that the rules on circles are different in both puzzles, but the main principle is the same.
Training puzzle:

Actual puzzle:

(Rules and solutions included)
I'd probably rate the training puzzle as 1 star difficulty, and the actual puzzle as 3 or 4 stars. No bifurcation is required but it can be tricky to know where to look next. If you get stuck please let me know.
