If you have been around me for any length of time recently, you know that there's a genre I've very much been binge-solving, and it was only a matter of time before it showed up in GAPP...

You all liked ringring, right?

Just wait until I tell you there are MORE genres that both use all cells and cross lines in a confusing and unintuitive manner!! Ah, my favorite 😍!!

That's right! Today's genre is Pipelink!!

Rules: Draw a loop through the centers of all cells. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. A clue shows how the loop crosses through the cell it’s in.

As always, an example puzzle and its solution are attached to the image of today's puzzle. I heavily recommend trying the example here: https://puzz.link/p?pipelink/5/5/malblcm

Note that the loop can cross itself at any point except on a given clue if a cross is not given. That is why the X's in the example puzzle solution are there. To place those yourself, simply right click a cell border.

Note about the interface: it draws lines only if you start from the center of the cell, so on the given clues you have to start from the center of that cell (or an adjacent cell, and drag into the given clue).

To earn yourself a Speedy Sloth 🦥 solve the puzzle in 1:30 or less!
To earn yourself a Quick Crab 🦀 solve the puzzle in 5:30 or less!
All other solvers are well-deserving of a Confusedly Crossing Cassowary 🐦!
