Update: May 2025

 So... the project is pretty much complete! I think I succeeded in making something grand that explored many concepts without overstaying its welcome, although not everything came together as I planned. For example, I assumed that paper draped around a cylinder would allow the viewer to see half of it at once, since the "front" and "back" could be almost the entireties of two semicircles, but it somehow turned out to be significantly less than that, which felt a bit like being inside a house of leaves. At least I was able to learn how to use Paint. The project is going to release publicly in about a week from today; I'll make a page for it when that happens. The following puzzles were made on 5/5/25, but I forgot to post them then, so I decided to save them for this page. Tapa Tasquare Choco Banana Kurodoko Square Jam

 The following puzzles were made between the 23rd and 25th of May. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the first person to think of this idea, but I really like how this variant contains logic involving both the meanings of the numbers and copied digits. Normal sudoku rules apply. Lines protruding from diamonds count the distance in squares that can be traveled in that direction from the diamond to find a digit that matches the digit in the diamond. If multiple lines are attached to one diamond, combine the effects of all its lines into one displacement. For example, in the picture below, if the digits on the lines are correct, then the two cells marked in red must contain the same digit: (Note: the answer checker will only care about normal sudoku rules. You'll have to ensure manually that you've correctly satisfied the diamonds.) Puzzle 1 (4x4) Puzzle 2 (4x4) Puzzle 3 (4x4) Puzzle 4 (4x4) Puzzle 5 (4x4) Puzzle 6 (6x6) Puzzle 7 (6x6) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
