@MrQubo Your code is almost correct. Check the amount of 1s in c13/15.

Great puzzle, thanks!

That was fun and by far not as difficult as I thought. Thanks a lot, KNT!

Super smooth and fun from start to finish, probably one of the funnest puzzles I've solved from you :)
That top right area is surely miraculous as heck x)

Nice combo ! Always amazes me how Aqre almost builds itself with relatively few clues. Thanks :)

Awesome puzzle! Agreed with Niverio, great ruleset combination with a very fun and flowing solve path.

Testing this puzzle for KNT was a pleasure, the two rulesets work really well together. A nice variety of connectivity and shading logic!
