This puzzle type is a Tapa variant invented by Mitchell "DireKrow" Clarke two years ago. It allows for some interesting logic not seen in normal Tapa puzzles.
Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells along the length of rope attached to the clue, not necessarily in order. No 2×2 region may be entirely shaded.
Last night, several users on PuzzleSquareJP posted puzzles in a genre called Multiplication Link. I decided to try writing one myself. It's an interesting idea! While it's somewhat similar to Balance Loop, the use of product clues rather than sum clues gives it a different feel while solving. Constructing this reminded me of Cave (Product): clues are harder to tweak but can yield interesting results when done correctly.
Rules: Draw a single orthogonal closed loop through some of the grid vertices. The loop must turn at cells with circles, and numbers give the product of lengths extending from the clue.
