Eric Fox's Puzzles

     For my 300th post, I've put together a collection of example puzzles for all of my original puzzle genres. As I create more in the future, this post will get updated. I hope you enjoy!     1.  Ovotovata  (oh-VOH-toh-VAH-tuh)      Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells which visits each shaded region at least once. When the loop exits a clued region in any direction, it must travel in a straight line for exactly the indicated number of cells (turning on the Nth cell, where N is the value of the clue).

     Pomoro, originally called Pomoyo, is another genre I invented. It's a region division puzzle conceived in early November of 2020. This was the first Pomoro puzzle that I created!      Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells, each containing exactly one circle. A clue in a circle indicates the number of cells in its region. Numbers represent the amount of region borders that appear in a straight line in the indicated direction. Borders must separate two different regions. The edge of the grid does not count as a border.     The rule regarding clues inside of circles was added later on. This puzzle has no such clues.
