Walker

Congratulations to @Calump and @Rickium for correctly guessing today's genre and earning a bonus otter! 🦦 (Sorry for not writing the genre with a super long title, I've been meaning to write this genre and took the opportunity!)

Every (normal-sized) Bramble intro talks about the music from the Donkey Kong Country series, so I’ll finish the trilogy by recommending Water World from DKC3. It’s one of the spookiest themes in the game and sets the tone well for a mysterious water level. (Cascade Capers is also quite good if you’d prefer something lighter!)

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.
