Today's puzzle is Grandstands, a genre originally invented by Martin Ender a few years ago. For some reason, I thought Hempuli constructed this type, but it seems I got Grandstands confused with Sentinel View. This genre is pretty neat. It wears its Canal View inspirations on its sleeve but does enough differently to count as its own thing.
Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop that travels orthogonally through the centers of cells. Number clues indicate the total length of straight line segments which start in a cell orthogonally adjacent to the clue and extend away from the clue.
(Example by Martin Ender.)
It's 3AM on Sunday night, but the puzzles must commence. (Kudamono links will come later, I need to go to bed.) The first grid is a nice introduction to the genre, with some easy steps early before slightly ramping up in difficulty later on.
The second grid is more subtle with a tricky break-in.
