And So It Begins

@shyeheya, @Tyrgannus and I (for now, the lineup might change), inspired by @clover's wildly successful GAS series, are starting GAPP-- Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzles! (not that Sudoku isn't a pencil puzzle, but that's what the kids are calling non-Sudoku puzzles these days).

Like all beginnings, this might start out a bit rough, but I'm sure we'll hit our stride eventually :) (From here on out, they'll be posted in #other-recommendations!)

You might be used to party hats and dinos... here we do things a bit differently! :Wink:

Today's puzzle is a Heyawake!

Rules: 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.

To earn a speedy sloth 🦥, solve in under 1:15!
To earn a quick crab 🦀, solve in under 2:30!
Any other time earns a birb of patience! 🐦
