Today's installment of GAPP roundups is the 20th one! So for something a little special, I thought I would include a bunch of my smaller & easier puzzles I made for the collab days, the ones usually celebratory events. They will be at the end of the post, the rest is your typical GAPP stuff, check out my other collection intros to learn more if you're new to these!
Puzzle 1 - City Space
Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected area of shaded cells is in the shape of a one-wide rectangle of at least two cells. All unshaded cells must form one orthogonally connected area, which contains no complete loops of cells (this includes 2x2s). Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the total number of unshaded cells that can be seen in a straight line vertically or horizontally, including itself Solve on Penpa+
Puzzle 2 - Slalom Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells, starting and ending at the circle. The loop may not enter blackened cells, and must pass straight through each gate exactly once. If a number N is pointing at a gate, it must be the Nth gate visited from the circle

Puzzle 3 - SUPERSIZED Castle Wall
Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells. The loop may not enter outlined cells; Outlined white cells must lie inside the loop, while outlined black cells must lie outside the loop. Grey cells may either be inside or outside the loop. A number represents the sum of the lengths of loop segments in the indicated direction

Puzzle 4 - Square Jam
Divide the grid into square regions of orthogonally connected cells. A number indicates the side length of the square it’s in. Region borders may not form any four-way intersections

Bonus 1 - Christmas 2021 Heyawake Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border Solve on Puzz.Link
Bonus 2 - GAPP's 1st Birthday Nurikabe Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded Note: These mini-puzzles spelled out "1 YEAR", hence the grid shape Solve on Penpa+
Bonus 3 - Christmas 2022 Tapa
Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded
Solve on Puzz.Link
Bonus 4 - 500 Posts Special La Paz Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and divide the remaining unshaded cells into two-cell regions. Clued cells cannot be shaded. A clue indicates the number of shaded cells which lie entirely within the same row or column as the region containing the clue
