Turning my unofficial series into a real thing, this is the third collection of semi-random puzzles I've made that just so happen to be on a nice little 8x8 grid. They're typically average difficulty, and I've ordered them approximately by what I think is easiest to hardest
Puzzle 1 - 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
Puzzle 2 - Canal View Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and no 2x2 region is entirely shaded. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells connected in a straight line horizontally or vertically to the clue

Puzzle 3 - Nurimisaki Shade some cells so that the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded or unshaded. Circles mark every instance of a cell which is unshaded and orthogonally adjacent to exactly one other unshaded cell. If a circle contains a number, it indicates how many cells are in the straight line of unshaded cells coming out of the cell with the circle, including itself

Puzzle 4 - 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

Puzzle 5 - Dotchi Loop Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every white circle and no black circles. Within a region, the loop must either turn on every white circle or pass straight through every white circle

Puzzle 6 - Mochikoro Shade some cells so that all areas of orthogonally connected unshaded cells are rectangular. The unshaded rectangles must all be connected diagonally. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of cells in the unshaded area they belong to. An unshaded area of cells cannot contain more than one clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded

Puzzle 7 - Guide Arrow Shade some empty cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No complete loop of cells may be unshaded (including 2x2s). An arrow indicates the only direction in which one could begin a path to the star without going through a shaded cell or backtracking

Puzzle 8 - 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
