In a reversal of how I usually handle these posts, comments for these Spiral Galaxies puzzles will be after the puzzles themselves.
Themeless
Barrier
Gravity
Cornered
Opposition
Alright, have you solved them all yet?
You have? Good- spoilers ahead.
These were all failed attempts at a Tatami Tentaisho- the "no +" constraint just wasn't strong enough to drive a solve while also resulting in a puzzle that needed the constraint. I tested all of these in the excellent myamya solver to see if the variant rule was necessary, and every time it came up unique without it. Though the second one broke easily from the variant rule, I really liked the potential theme and construction and decided to commit to making it a standard for later- I just didn't expect to end up with 5 standards.
