May I also suggest LITS?

http://www.nikoli.co.jp/en/puzzles/lits/

Thanks for these requests. Given time, I think both of them can be realized.

I implemented Masyu. If you happen to have puzzles ready to contribute, feel free to email them to me and we will transfer them to your account before the genre is launched. We prefer to have one of each difficulty from 1 to 4 stars before we put it online.

Instead of emailing, you could also implement it in the studio as an Anglers puzzle; put fish or plants instead of circles and we'll be able to convert it.

LITS is real nice!

May I suggest Heyawake?

I just discovered KENKEN. It is similar to sudoku but with some simple math involved (as in kakuro). I find it very enjoyable to solve.

explanation and a few puzzles can be found at:

Johan you just have to add "straight and arrow" it is so playable!

By the way thanks for the site to all of you!

Looks like a valuable addition, so it is put on the todo list. Expect it to take some time, because there are a bunch of other cool puzzle types near the end of the pipeline at this very moment.

Greetings! Here are some suggestions for puzzles I'd like to see added to the site:

Laser logic puzzles, like the ones found at Croco Puzzle. I've been able to solve two of the smaller size puzzles at their site.

Area sums, the name used for this puzzle at Croco Puzzle. I've also seen this puzzle referred to as Calculudoku.

Arrow numbers, the name used at the Otto Janko site. Very challenging puzzle where you have to correctly place all the arrows around the edge of grid according the numbers in the grid.

I'll add more puzzles suggestions in the future.

My user name is from a famous American chessmaster named Harry Nelson Pillsbury. He died early in his life at just 33 years old in 1906. Pillsbury was a very talented and skilled master of chess, draughts (or checkers as we call it in the US), and the card game whist, the forerunner of modern bridge.

Might I suggest Numberlink? I've gotten mildly addicted to it lately.

I took care of the implementation. If you have any puzzles ready, you can implement them as Seethrough puzzles and we will make sure they end up as Numberlinks.

Hey team, I just registered today (and I am sorry I didn't do so earlier, now I have to solve everything again if I want it recorded

).

I haven't really made any puzzles of my own, except for in this one genre, where they always seem to only have one solution, so it's very easy to make one.

I've solved these under the title "Every Second Turn" or something like that but I haven't really found any online. Basically the rules are the following:
You are given a grid with circles in some squares. You are to draw a closed loop, passing through the centre of each square, going horizontally and vertically. The line cannot cross itself or go diagonally (all turns are 90 degrees) no squares are left empty. Every second turn that the line makes is in a square with a circle and the line makes a turn in every circle.

I hope that's clear enough. I can post an example on a masyu template if I can get the studio to work...

Hi Cyclone, and welcome to PuzzlePicnic!

I guess you mean this genre, right?

Yep, Exactly. It was one of the genres with which I began puzzling

Any chance I'm going to see in on here? I hadn't seen the hexagonal version but come to think of it there are some interesting variations to be made here.

I think you guys might like Ripple Effect puzzles. I'm starting to get a little bit of a grasp on how to construct them, and maybe you guys can make some interesting ones, too.

Oh, and here's an up-and-coming puzzle genre: Suraromu (Slalom). Perhaps it, too, will be of interest.
