Nuri-Maze
(Published on 12. January 2024, 16:17 by Myxo)
Rules:
Shade some regions on the board to form a maze. A region is either completely shaded or unshaded. Regions containing a clue cannot be shaded. There can not be a 2x2 square of all shaded or all unshaded cells. For each pair of unshaded cells, there is exactly one path of edge-adjacent unshaded cells connecting them, i.e. all unshaded cells form an orthogonally contiguous area without any loops.
There is exactly one path between S and G that doesn't require backtracking. Circles must be part of this path, while triangles must not.
Solution code: for the last 5 columns from left to right, the number of contiguous segments of unshaded cells

Great fun - now I tried this, maybe I'm ready for the build-your-own version :)

This introduced me to nuri-maze as well, and was a great introduction in terms of figuring out the basic types of logic involved!

Never tried nuri-maze before, but this was a really fun puzzle!
Fairly approachable as well, considering I've never solved one of these before.

Good introduction to the genre!
I saw nurimaze for the first time in my life, but still managed to understand the basic principles and go though.
