Puzzlerium Tour: Tapa (Curtailed Branching)

  






Theme: 3456

RulesPaint some squares to create a continuous wall of connected cells. Number(s) in a cell indicate how many painted cells are contained in a continuous black cell block in its surrounding cells. If there is more than one number in the cell, there has to be at least one white cell separating the black cell blocks. Painted cells cannot form a 2x2 cell. Clue Cells cannot be painted. 

Additionally, given arrows in some clue cells indicate that starting in the immediate adjacent cell pointed by the arrow (this cell must be shaded), and in upto two possible directions containing shaded cells, the tapa wall extends at least as many cells before branching out, as the number in the clue cell (a clue cell with the number '8' cannot possibly have an arrow).
