I'm willing to bet most of us here are familiar with our old friend Starbattle 🌠 Well today's GAPP is the opposite, the antimatter ⚛️ if you will... This genre is so dark that its stars have become shaded cells ⬛ that are compressed and clustered together like black holes! Meet the terrifying abyss that is... VAMA 🪐 ✨
(This genre isn't that scary, quite minimal rules actually! It's a bit of an obscure one, so I figured it would be nice to shed some light on it 😄)

Rules: 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
Check the example puzzle in the image to get a better idea of what that may look like. You can also solve it at the link below as a warm-up!
