Puzzle 109 (Herugolf)

Herugolf is a weird genre!  Also somewhat difficult to construct nicely, especially with clue symmetry.  Here's a recent attempt; it's not hard but should still have some wiggle room in the beginning.

Puzzle 108 ("Hexagon", Bosnian Road)

Hi!  Have a Bosnian Road puzzle.  I would have preferred if the middle clues weren't there, but at least they don't affect the solve too much.

Rules: Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting loop which does not touch itself, not even diagonally. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue.

Puzzle 107 ("Parquet?", Combi Block)

Hi!  Here's a fairly silly Combi Block puzzle designed around a particular common theme.

Rules (cf. Eric Fox): Combine pairs of orthogonally connected regions such that no pair forms a rectangle and no two orthogonally adjacent pairs are the same combined shape, counting rotations and reflections as the same.

Puzzle 106 (Slitherlink)

Here's a Slitherlink puzzle.  This one was already intended to be hard, but then I made an incorrect deduction; the resulting puzzle is probably the hardest one on my blog so far.  Normally, I wouldn't post this on my blog, but I don't think the logic is out of place given the rest of the puzzle, so I'm keeping it.  (It's pretty nice stuff, anyway!  Definitely not intended, but whatever.)
