Tapa
Here’s an antisymmetric Tapa. I tried to keep the puzzle easy and the solving path flowing but not boring, please do tell if I succeeded.

Rules:
- Shade some cells to form a continuous wall that contains no 2×2 squares of shaded cells.
- The clue numbers tell the size of continuous groups of shaded cells in the eight cells around the clues. Two groups must have at least one unshaded cell between them.
- The clue cells themselves remain unshaded.
EDIT: The first version was ever so slightly ambiguous, so I had to remake the puzzle. The old version is here, if you’re curious.
2 solutions found in R4C13 & R5C13……
Ditto. It doesn’t look like there’s an easy fix to maintain antisymmetry though.
Thanks for noticing that. I’m rewriting the puzzle.
That took way too long, but the new puzzle should solve uniquely.
