Here at GAPP we love shading genres. Aqre, Guide Arrow, Heyawake, and Tapa are all great genres. Sometimes, some of those cells are even merged together, as in Nurimaze or Parquet. Today, I present something truly unique that has never been done before: a genre where you only shade half of a cell! Here's a Half Piece.

...Uh, never mind, we've done Shakashaka.

Rules: Shade exactly two orthogonally adjacent quadrants in each cell such that all shaded areas are orthogonally connected. No 1x1 area may be entirely shaded or unshaded, even those that are offset from the gridlines.
