Maybe Nurisquare is less an "obscure" type and more a "new" one -- it was only invented two years ago by internet user machka. But it's a neat idea! Natural combination of Nurikabe and Tasquare rules. Not much else to say.
Rules: Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected group of shaded cells is in the shape of a square. Each connected group of unshaded cells must contain exactly one number, the value of which represents the size of the area.
Because the square condition is so restrictive, it can be fairly easy to make puzzles with annoying solve paths. My aim with this set was to minimize these annoyances. That's not to say the second puzzle is easy, but it should hopefully be tricky for the "right" reasons 🙂.
