Puzzle #611 - Crabby Beach (Doppelblock)

Before WPC 2023, I ran a Puzzle Getchu!, a contest themed on Ape Escape. I had intended to queue these puzzles for posting before WPC, but didn't have the time. Better late than never!

The seventh level is Crabby Beach - a relatively smaller level. Doppelblock is at first an incongruous choice, until Beach -> Sand -> Sandwich -> sum between clues from Doppelblock. It's still a stretch, but a justifiable stretch. This puzzle was worth 10 points - I really wanted to have a good break-in using no edge clues, as Doppelblock almost always relies on edge clues. I ended up only using prime numbers, and went through a lot of struggle keeping that theme alive.
