Pixlate's Puzzles

Hi, it's me again somehow. This blocked normal-ish puzzle is a calming of pace from the absurdity and complexity of some previous puzzles (only one sentence in the preamble!). Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the theme for what it is. Thanks to MP for the test-solve: you can find him  here . This puzzle is also up on  MyCrossword . Full-Screen AmuseLabs Link

 This one's going to be a bit different, so I suggest reading this post the whole way through.  The idea for this one first spawned when watching one of  juff's streams , a fellow constructor and a very entertaining solver. In it, they were doing a co-solve of a certain puzzle - I forget which exactly - and I thought wow, this whole cryptic business is much more fun and exciting with a friend along to help. This cryptic has been inspired by the game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and is thus designed for TWO solvers. You can still solve it with one person, though if you can get a friend to play along the experience should be better. One of you is designated the role of the DEFUSER. The defuser is allowed to look at the bomb (i.e. the grid and clues) and NOT allowed to look at the manual. The other is designated the role of the EXPERT. The expert may only look at the manual and NOT the grid or clues. Work together to decipher the clues and the instructions, test your com...

Hello folks! Welcome to 2023, I hope this year brings about a great positive change to any shit you got going on (unless your life is perfect in which case, damn you for having all your shit together) To celebrate: here's a themeless with a seed entry I've wanted to work into a grid for a while. Many thanks to lila  for test-solving, she is much better at these sorts of things than I am! Anyways here's the puzzle, enjoy! Full-Screen Solve

Wow! I think this may be the first time I've ever created a grid and actually finished the cluing not long after. This 14 x 14 bad boy hopefully should be a fun little challenge. I recommend using a notepad, you might wanna write things down. I feel as though as I write more clues, my constructions begin to have their own sort of style? idk tell me if you find anything recognisable about the way I set. Either way, thanks once more to @kieranjboyd#1688 for advice in filling the grid and skaldskaparmal for a greatly valuable test solve. Happy Holidays, Merry Solving! Puzzle:  Full-Screen Solve

23 September, 2022 It seems as though I've made a variety cryptic puzzle. Hopefully, this puzzles proves to be not too taxing but still with some bite and most importantly, provides you with a bit of fun when you do it. I'm quite happy with the overall result. If I do forget to maintain this blog, my other puzzles may be played on  my Crosshare  or  on MyCrossword Construction aided by saroota ( https://sarootacryptics.blogspot.com/ ) and test-solved by the ever-helpful keiranjboyd.
