Loop Aquarium

(Published on 23. October 2022, 20:25 by wooferzfg)

This puzzle was created by Jakhob and wooferzfg.

Rules

This puzzle is a combination of a Touching Slitherlink and an Aquarium. The Touching Slitherlink loop divides the grid into regions for the Aquarium.

Touching Slitherlink: Draw a line along the edges of some cells to form a single non-intersecting loop. Clues inside the grid indicate the number of times the loop visits the set of edges and vertices adjacent to the clued cell.

Aquarium: Fill some cells with water. If a cell is filled with water, all other cells within the same region that are in the same or a lower row have to be filled with water as well. Clues outside the grid indicate the number of water cells in the corresponding row or column.

Examples

Here is a reference sheet for Touching Slitherlink clues.

Looping in this aquarium was a lot of fun ! The geometry of the whole thing is a work of art. Thanks to both of you for this !

Having no experience with touching slitherlink, this one took me a while to get into, but once I did the logic was great and the two genres really work well together. Fabulous puzzle, enjoyed it a lot!
