Here's where you can play Large Area Size of Small Area by Neofelis: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/PQ8GmnLdNH
Normal sudoku rules apply. The highlighted area may only contain numbers 1–5. None of the remaining numbers 1–5 are orthogonally adjacent to this area. The sum of the numbers inside a cage must add up to the clue in the top-left corner. A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values.
