Tyrgannus

Sometimes we draft puzzles that don't pass approval because they're deemed too difficult. If we've covered the genre before, it's no problem since we have been known to include in that month's Mind the Gapp document. I, unfortunately, made multiple too difficult puzzles in a genre totally new for GAPP . There's my backstory on why you're getting this repeat genre from me, but in the end it all works out. Now both setters who have made main gapps with this ruleset have two a piece which is oddly thematic for the genre.

Today's GAPP is an Ayeheya!

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.

Variant: The shaded cells within a region must have 180° rotational symmetry around the region’s center.
