Menderbug

Walkthrough for yesterday's Norinorinori: https://youtu.be/KuxvtEhFHVI

Happy GAPP #900! On a Supersized Saturday no less, which made it much easier to theme the puzzle. I've been meaning to revisit Bramble, since it seemed quite well received on its first appearance. And it was implemented on Kudamono just earlier this week, so that worked out nicely. Since there are also landscape and portrait orientation versions of the puzzle, you have quite a few links to choose from today.

You can find the previous appearance of Bramble here if you want a regular-sized puzzle to warm up: Archive: Monday, 5 February 2024

Rules: Shade some blocks of one or two cells such that no two blocks are orthogonally adjacent and no block crosses a region boundary. All blocks form a diagonally connected network without loops. Two blocks which touch diagonally cannot both be single cells. Number clues indicate the amount of shaded cells in their region. (The thicker region borders are irrelevant, they only emphasise the theme.)

Note: There's a typo in the image version. The 11 should be a 1. The Penpa links are correct.
