Make Room for Tapa

Rules: Follow regular tapa rules.the grid is divided into some areas.Every area must contain exactly 5 shaded cells.

TVC XII - Twilight

Adding twilight tapa now.This worked well,particularly the clue placement .

Akari(Row totals)

This is next in a series of new Akari variations I have designed.I think this could be another very interesting variation,if the example below gives any idea.

Rules: a row with a number outside should contain as many bulbs.All standard akari rules stand good.

TVC XII

I am not quite happy with the the loop and wire puzzles appearing at TVC XII,not only that they are boring,but i would also need a printer.Compass is my favourite,though i would prefer calling it "navigator" tapa.Borders is another nice variation.
I also constructed a few.More will come later. The sweeper puzzle below uses the sweeper logic only a couple of times ,but it is brilliant as a tapa itself.I did not work much on the loop,so you wont find enough tapaness there, while the loop logic dominates throughout and you also have multiple openings to choose from,which means anywhere you look at the grid,you are off to a start(didnt i say i didnt like seeing this at a TVC?) .Compass also is a simple one.I might do a better one later.

Masyu ( Alternating )

I do not often publish variations from other sources.But i could not resist doing a couple of these .


The second of the two posted below also works as a classic masyu.

LIT Up(Akari/LITS)

This is another of many more akari variations you would see.

Moving on to the rules:
Bulbs cannot overlap with the LITS wall.And all cells (the akari walls need not be)should be illuminated.LITS cannot occupy the akari walls.Otherwise,standard LITS rules remain same.

LITS packing

This variation on LITS (introduced under the title LITS Square)asks to pack two tetrominos into every area,not touching except diagonally.The global rules otherwise remain same.

Contains two puzzles.

Akari (Larger bulbs)

This is an Akari puzzle,with the bulbs being shaped like a domino (seeing two adjacent row/columns and one column/row),instead of the usual one unit cell.

Polykari

This version of akari considers multiple cells for adjacent bulb counts.Every clue indicates the number of bulbs adjacent to the entire polyomino that the clue is in.

Tapa(Dead ends)

Rules: Follow regular tapa rules.Additionally,every outlined area has atleast one dead end painted cell(adjacent to only one painted cell).

Fillomino(Only rectangles)

This is a fillomino with a restriction that only rectangular areas are allowed.

Versatile tapa

This is a Versatile Tapa.
Medium to easy,as its the first ever published example.Thanks to mellowmelon who tested it and found an issue with it.

Versatile tapa

This a new variation,found only on this blog,and similar to Tapa packing.
Rules: Paint some cells black to create a continuous wall.Number/s in a cell indicate the lengths of black cell blocks on its neighbouring cells.If there is more than one number in a cell,there must be atleast one white cell between the black cell blocks.Painted cells cannot form a 2x2 square or larger.There are no wall segments on cells containing numbers.
Additionally,every tapa clue also works as a count of the number of blocks of connected shaded cells in the region the clue is in,one of the digits representing the correct count.

Below is an example with its solution.
