Puzzle #688 - Not So Simple Loop

I made this Simple Loop so long ago I don't remember why I made it. Let's see what my comments I have next to it in my puzzles spreadsheet say. "In PC, Rook mentioned not knowing parity for Sloop. So I made a Sloop using parity." Amazing insight, past me. The comment on the very next puzzle starts "this wasn't meant as an April Fools puzzle" so uh, oops 6 month delay.

Puzzle #475 - Simple Loop

I don't have anything to say about this Simple Loop puzzle.

Puzzle #406 - Quartered, To Be Drawn (Simple Loop)

I felt like making a Simple Loop one day. I made this, and no longer felt like making Simple Loop any time in the near future- it's so hard to make a puzzle work without circumventing earlier deductions that I honestly just gave up.

Small compromise aside, I do like how parts of this turned out. I just think I'd need to go much, much bigger to really get anything meaty.

Puzzle #377 - Not So Simple Loop

Recently, Logic Showcase 25 on Puzzlers Club concluded, with the prompt being to make a puzzle with a non-square grid. I made a last minute Simple Loop.

Or, you know. A not so simple loop going through 6 different tilings that penpa has. No interface link here, just a loop puzzle that was a lot of fun to make- if any given part wasn't working out, I could just trash it and move to the next one! That actually did happen once, too. I'm quite happy with how this ended up turning out, even if I never want to see another triangular grid again.

Puzzle #293 - Bounce (Simple Loop)

A couple weeks ago, the Chip's Challenge Discord was discussing a few levels that behaved like Simple Loop. The most notable of these were my own Pairing Off (demonstrating an entry/parity argument in the corners) and David "pieguy" Stolp's the wrong parity (which has 1920 different solution paths from some local ambiguities, but is still a fascinating experience to solve). I said that I'd learned some tricks that could result in making a level of that style that was even harder, and whipped up this puzzle to demonstrate. I also made a second puzzle beforehand to outline a different deduction, which is similar to a prior puzzle I've posted so I'll just include it here as a bonus. The intended step can be circumvented there, anyway.

Seasoned veterans of the type will see what I'm going for here without any trouble.

Puzzle #172 - L O O P (Simple Loop)

So I made another puzzle for Puzzle Duel, this time I tried my hand at making a Simple Loop puzzle. I don't think it turned out trivial, though it is slightly easier than I'd have liked.
