Lavaloid

One of the places I look at to find new genres is Naoki Inaba's puzzle collection. Double Block (ダブルブロック) caught my eye, so I made today's puzzle based on it... only to be told that it has the exact same rules as Double or Nothing

Previous Double or Nothing by Freddie: Archive: Tuesday, 1 October 2024

Rules: Draw two loops that passes orthogonally through centers of some cells, so that each loop does not intersect itself. Each empty cell must be used by exactly one of the loops. Each cell containing a “+” symbol must either be used by both loops (which intersect each other orthogonally there) or neither loop.

Note: Penpa+ only checks for green lines - if you wish to draw the two loops in different colours (for which you'll also need to switch to line mode), don't forget to trace over the non-green loop with green at the end!

Finish the puzzle in 2:00 or less for a Speedy Sloth 🦥!
