Today's genre is definitely one of the more confusing ones. It is an Amibo! And no this does not have anything to do with wirelessly connected figurines, though most search engines will try to convince you otherwise.

If we want to get technical, the genre's name is あみぼー, the thing you're thinking of is あみーぼ. So the o is long instead of the i. Anyway...

Rules: In some empty cells, place a horizontal or vertical line (or both) connecting the centers of two opposite edges of the cell. Each circle must have exactly one line extending from one of its edges. If a circle has a number in it, the number indicates the length of the straight line extending from it. All lines must form one connected network with no loops, and each straight line must be crossed by at least one more of the same length.

Attached are two examples of what a 'loop' constitutes.

Solving note: you can click on gridlines to mark small black 'barriers' (as illustrated in the example solution), which may be helpful for solving.
