This Supersized Double Kurodoko was my second choice after a Supersized Candy Crush (with powerups), my favourite genre. I'm not sure why but the GAPP team recommended I post this instead.

In contest news, the UK puzzle championship is currently ongoing, which is 3 hours of puzzling split into two 90-minute contests. If you're a British solver it's also a chance to qualify for the UK team at the 2025 World Puzzle Championship. As usual, feel free to claim a bonus otter 🦦 if you give one of the two parts a go!

Rules: Shade some dominoes of cells so that no two shaded dominoes are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the total number of unshaded cells that can be seen in a straight line vertically or horizontally, including itself.
