Weird. Is the stream of size 32 or is the island is the one that is of size 32? Either way, Sky was a little bit hyped when he got the inspiration of this unusual puzzle.

Hasn’t this been done before? Well, while the former one uses quite a bunch of black circles, this one uses only a few. Probably because of the grid’s size…or maybe because of the fact that this is full, aka all circles given. Yeah, Sky found something neat to do with the circles, or the absence thereof.

Sandwich Fillomino Follow regular Fillomino rules, but blacken exactly two squares in each row/column. These black squares don’t have numerical values (in particular they may be adjacent to any other number including other black squares). A number outside the grid gives the sum of the numbers between the two black squares in the row/column.

Fillomino Tapa Follow regular Fillomino rules; ignore the green numbers and suppose that they are simply obstacles in the grid (like an empty hole that doesn’t have any number in it). Afterwards, shade some polyominoes black such that the shaded polyominoes form a tapa: They must form a single polyomino, but there may not be any 2×2 square that is all black. The green numbers are Tapa clues: Each number gives the number of consecutive black cells around the 5 squares orthogonally/diagonally adjacent to it.
