Sorry for the long hiatus! Here is the last GAPP collection, all of the remaining puzzles I made as part of the team on the CTC community discord. Quite a lot of them, so hopefully it makes up for the time away. I have a lot of backlogged puzzles that will be coming out soon too :D Puzzle 1 - Ice Walk Draw a loop through the centers of some cells which passes through each numbered cell. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other only on icy cells, but they may not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. The loop may not turn on icy cells. A number indicates how many cells make up the continuous non-icy section of the loop that the number is on Solve on pzprxs


Puzzle 2 - Shakashaka Shade a right triangle in some empty cells, each of which occupies exactly half the cell it’s in. Each unshaded area must be rectangular in shape. A number in a cell represents how many of the (up to) four cells orthogonally adjacent to the clue contain triangles Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 3 - Pentominous Divide the grid into regions of five orthogonally connected cells (pentominoes) so that no two regions of the same shape share an edge, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Clued cells must belong to a region with the pentomino shape associated with that letter. (see image) Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 4 - SUPERSIZED Tetrochain Shade some tetrominoes of cells such that no two tetrominoes touch each other orthogonally, but all tetrominoes form one diagonally connected network. Two tetrominoes of the same shape may not touch diagonally, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells in a straight line in the indicated direction Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 5 - Hashiwokakero Connect pairs of circles horizontally or vertically so that all circles form one connected network. Connections may not cross one another, and any pair of circles may have at most two connections between them. Numbers in circles represent the amount of connections extending from them Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 6 - Kurodoko

Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. 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 pzprxs

Puzzle 7 - S-Bends

Draw a non-intersecting path through the centers of some cells which passes through every white circle and no black circles. Grey circles mark the ends of the path. Between each pair of circles the path uses, the path must turn exactly twice, and both turns must be in opposite directions

Solve on Penpa+

Puzzle 8 - Yajisan-Kazusan Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. If a cell with a number in it is unshaded, the number represents how many shaded cells are in a straight line in the indicated direction. If a cell with a number in it is shaded, the number is meaningless Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 9 - SUPERSIZED 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 Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 10 - Pentopia

Shade some pentominoes (connected group of 5 shaded cells) so that no pentominoes touch one another, not even diagonally. No two pentominoes may be the same shape, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Clued cells cannot be shaded, and contain arrows indicating all of the orthogonal directions in which a shaded cell appears closest to the clued cell. At least one shaded cell must appear in the direction of an arrow. (note that the example puzzle uses 4 cell tetrominoes instead)

Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 11 - SUPERSIZED 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 pzprxs

Puzzle 12 - Lollipops

Fill some cells of the grid with a symbol of one of three types: a circle, a horizontal line, or a vertical line. Symbols must form pairs consisting of a circle and a line extending from it. These pairs may not exist orthogonally adjacent to one another. Two symbols of the same type may not exist in the same row or column with nothing between them

Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 13 - Orbital

Draw rectangular loops, called orbits, through the centers of some cells. The sides of different orbits may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. Cells containing numbers may not be used by orbits, but must lie inside of one, and no orbit can enclose more than one number clue. If an orbit contains a number, the number indicates how many circles the orbit overlaps. Each cell containing a circle must be used by at least one orbit


Solve on pzprxs

Puzzle 14 - 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


Solve on pzprxs
