Walkthrough for yesterday's Doppelblock: https://youtu.be/fa908kCpvOw

Sometimes, my puzzle ideas don't work out, or I just don't feel like making them. To prepare for those times, I have a few backup puzzles set in genres that I'm already used to and take less time for me to set. Or rather, I had them, because today's Heyawake is the last one in my backlog.

Because the theme of the puzzle today is a +, let's have a plus sign-related fun fact: Did you know the flag of Switzerland 🇨🇭 is the only square country flag? That's actually a lie, Vatican City also has a square flag 🇻🇦.

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,

Finish the puzzle in 1:45 or less for a Speedy Sloth 🦥!
Finish the puzzle in 3:30 or less for a Quick Crab 🦀!
Finish with any time at all for a Reserve Red Rail 🐦!
