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.
#41 - Tentaisho / Star Battle Hybrid
This puzzle is mostly a proof of concept, which is why it's so small and isn't very logically interesting. I've seen several attempts at a Tentaisho Star Battle hybrid, but I've seen no successful ones without additional rules. My ultimate goal is a 10x10 one with two stars, but the best I've managed so far is a 6x6 one with one star. Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each region must contain exactly one circle and have 180° symmetry around it. Additionally, p lace stars into some cells such that each row, column, and outlined region contains exactly one star. Stars may not touch one another, not even diagonally. Solve online
Puzzle flowed faster through instinct than logic.
