More of the Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzles! I made these sliiightly harder than we usually aim for, but they still shouldn't be so bad. Join the CTC fan discord to solve these as they release every day, along with other fantastic creations by my co-setters Jovi_al, Tyrgannus, Freddie Hand and Eric Fox
Puzzle 1 - Compass
Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells, each containing exactly one compass. A number in a compass indicates how many cells belong to its region that are further in the indicated direction than the compass itself

Puzzle 2 - Rectangle Slider
Move some black squares (1x1's, and not necessarily all of them) so that each group of orthogonally adjacent squares is rectangular in shape, and no square is left isolated as a 1x1. A square may only move in one straight line vertically or horizontally. Squares’ paths may not cross each other, other squares, or other squares’ starting points. Squares containing clues must be moved exactly the indicated number of cells

Puzzle 3 - Cave
Shade some cells so that the shaded cells are all connected orthogonally by other shaded cells to the edge of the grid, and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area, the cave. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the total number of unshaded cells that can be seen in a straight line vertically or horizontally, including the cell itself

Puzzle 4 - Vama
Shade some cells such that every row, column, and outlined region contains exactly 2 shaded cells, and all shaded cells in the grid form one connected network, orthogonally or diagonally
