While I figure out how to make a Simple Gako that's actually simple, here's another pzprxs puzzle/variant that we technically haven't covered yet. It's a Myopia (Full)!
Rules: Connect some pairs of orthogonally adjacent dots to form a single non-intersecting loop. Clued cells contain arrows indicating all of the orthogonal directions in which a loop segment appears closest to the clued cell.
Variant: All dots must be visited by the loop.
Note: A clue does not necessarily have a loop segment touching it! If you haven't encountered Myopia before, I recommend looking at the base genre before attempting this variant. Here is the first Myopia in GAPP, by Eric Fox:
Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle in 2:30 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving the puzzle in 4:30 or less!
And all solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with a Covered Cozumel Vireo 🐦
