New sudoku puzzle!
Veritable Vortices
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Vortex sudoku: Each colored ring contains no repeated digits, and the digits must strictly increase in the same direction around the ring from lowest to highest. The starting point and direction must be determined by the solver.

(I invented the vortex variant myself, and constructed this to showcase it.)
(Now with additional colors!)

OKAY
It took me 104:08 officially, apparently, not counting the multiple days of breaks in between, and involved some trial & error in the middle bit, BUT. I think I solved it???
This was a very cool puzzle once it all fell together, I love that the key piece of information I needed hinged on "how does the vortex work/what numbers are allowed in a cell because of those rules."
