Menderbug

I was looking through our internal spreadsheet for the earliest-featured genres that we've never given the supersized treatment. One of those (first featured on day 19 of GAPP) is Slant / Gokigen Naname, which works out nicely as I've been solving a couple hundred of them in the last week. It's a fun one! Did you know that the genre is also sometimes called Slalom?
