An "Easy" But Wonderful Sudoku

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
One of the hardest things for a sudoku setter to achieve is to get the balance right on an easy puzzle such that the solver still gets the pleasure of finding some lovely deductions during the solve. GBPack has hit the nail on the head with Unknown Little Killers, a 6x6 1* rated construction that has been garnering praise from solvers and other setters alike!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Place the digits 1-6 in each row, column, and region (digits do not repeat in a row, column, or region). Digits along indicated diagonals sum to the number given. A ? represents a single digit from 0-9 (and the digit represented may be different for different ? clues). The leading digit of a two-digit clue may not be zero.
