Oh no, I'd already set a Star Battle for today, but I tripped in a hurry and all of the borders fell off! I tried to put back the ones I remember, but you'll have to find the remaining ones.

Today's GAPP is a Star Battle (Builder)! No, this isn't the puzzle I had prepared for the last post, it's a genre from Puzzle Ramayan round 4. There's quite a lot to do in this puzzle and the input method is quite fiddly, so the sloth/crab times for today are very generous. I highly recommend solving the previous Star Battle first: Archive: Monday, 22 April 2024 It will teach you some logical steps that you will need for this puzzle!

Rules:
- Place stars in some cells such that every row, column, and outlined region contains exactly 2 stars. Each cell can only contain at most 1 star. Stars may not touch each other, even diagonally.
- However, some complete regions are not given and are to be deduced by the solver. Some borders are given, and each border must separate two different regions (i.e. there must be no dangling borders).

Finish the puzzle in 7:30 or less for a Speedy Sloth 🦥!
Finish the puzzle in 15:00 or less for a Quick Crab 🦀!
Finish with any time at all for an Bobolink the Builder 🐦!

Mind the GAPP Vol. 29

...is here! I have a bad news and a good news this time. First, the bad news: Unfortunately, we won't be able to have walkthroughs for every regular puzzle, and we currently have no ETA on when they'll be back.

The good news: we have TEN bonus puzzles this month! (or 8, depending on how you count them). Enjoy!

Sorry, forgot to add the ping. Mind the GAPP vol. 29 is here! (see above)
