#20: CtC Secret Santa 2024: CHR (Part 1)
My Santee for this year's installment of CtC Discord Secret Santa happened to be Rook, who I knew as a very good fellow pencil puzzle setter, as well as someone whose tastes aligned very well with my own. This lucky assignment gave me the inspiration to put my genre-bending hat on and go on a little mission. Let me just say that none of the three alotted weeks went to waste while preparing this gift.☺This was my first "real puzzle project", and the proudest one so far.
I'm going to post the resulting nine puzzles (alliterating CHRISTMAS) in three installments of three. The difficulty should be more or less consistent across the board, with some intended outliers on the harder side.
Huge thanks to Stef Liew and Prasanna Seshardi for immense help with testing and feedback!

#18: Tally Loop
Tally Loop was published on Kudamono earlier today. I created this genre and a few puzzles in January this year. It's a bit silly and kinda hard to set, but I think it has some fun to it. Here are three puzzles I've made back then.

#17: Clueless Shimawake
I generally don't tweak my puzzles after the first draft, but this time I tried to accomodate some of the CtC testers feedback and see how much I can improve it. There were remarks about a cryptic and unintuitive step, and it took three iterations to make the puzzle smooth enough while keeping most of the interesting logic intact. I should learn to do this with my puzzles more often.
