R ight in front of me is the highest point on this square-shaped island, but the cliff looks too steep to ascend, so I'll have to go south. It's unclear at the moment exactly how I want to approach getting there, so I'll have to trust that, from here on out, there's a way I can cover the whole area without retracing my steps instead of having to roam senselessly. The rules to this puzzle are meant to be deduced. The answer is a path. penpa link

E ven though I prefer to stay on land, the submerged land bridge revealing a path to another island entices me to explore east instead of south. Something shiny on the horizon catches my eye and motivates me to go the extra mile today. Rules:  Solve the left half as a Bosnian Road  with a path instead of a loop and the right half as a Nurikabe with some clues missing. The Bosnian road should start somewhere on the left edge and end next to the Nurikabe; the cell to the right of the endpoint will be part of the river, and there must be only one way to follow the river to the right edge. Within both puzzles, every shaded square must be horizontally adjacent to at least one other shaded square. penpa link

W hile this corner of the island felt remote, looking westward I could make out the plain that I had explored before wading through the swamp. This distance really undercuts how far I've already traveled, but it also emphasizes how connected the place is. Rules: Get from the number in the bottom-right to the number in the top-right. From each number, you must move to another square with a number in it such that the distance between the centers of those squares exactly equals the number you move from. penpa link

  S ince I couldn't use a microwave or anything like that, I brought mostly snacks for nourishment. I made sure to bring plenty so I wouldn't run out. While I could go east to cut across the center of the island, I might as well continue north to reach the corner. https://puzz.link/p?cbanana/4/4/444g444g44l https://puzz.link/p?cbanana/4/4/ai1h1n https://puzz.link/p?cbanana/4/4/3j3l5i https://puzz.link/p?dbchoco/4/4/v700m4n https://puzz.link/p?dbchoco/4/4/hr60k1j1k https://puzz.link/p?dbchoco/4/4/ml90v https://puzz.link/p?brownies/4/4/.4g9g9j9g9g../ https://puzz.link/p?brownies/4/4/g10j9g99h11g https://puzz.link/p?brownies/4/4/.g9.11h99i1g9 https://puzz.link/p?lollipops/4/4/c12f2a2b https://puzz.link/p?lollipops/4/4/e3f1b1 https://puzz.link/p?lollipops/4/4/a1h1a3c Rules: Solve as a Choco Banana, variant Double Choco, Brownies, and Lollipops simultaneously.  Shaded regions are not allowed to be subdivided in the Double Choco.  Lollipop sticks are interpreted as motion lines for B

  N orthward is where I planned to go, but I wanted to walk east a bit first to follow the river. I read somewhere that moss tends to grow on the north sides of trees, and that by the time I've located a tree to find moss on, a wandering guitarist should walk up to me and ask if I want to hear "Wonderwall". It occurred to me as I studied motion between the trees that I wasn't alone on this island. While instinct told me the nomadic wanderers would be friendly, I still didn't want to get in their way. Rules: This puzzle is inspired by Roma . Place an arrow that points left, right, up, or down into each cell.  Arrows don't repeat within a region.  Some arrows will form a path that can be followed by moving one space in the direction each arrow points, which spans all the way from somewhere on the leftmost column to out the rightmost column.  All other arrows will eventually point to themselves in loops; every loop has a different length. penpa link

  A round this area, the air is abnormally arid. The sun beats down as the clouds part. Upon reflection, perhaps I should have traveled with a partner, to divide and conquer. At least I'll be able to wade to the next island after passing through. Rules:  Draw an orthogonal path that starts somewhere on the left and ends somewhere on the right.  The path must touch (but not pass through) every black triangle, as though reflecting off of them.  A region will be defined as an orthogonally-connected mass of cells not passed through by the path.  Four such regions contain exactly two stars each, and these four regions make two pairs of equal area. penpa link
