Puzzle Description:

AMaz(e)ing. The most difficult one yet (in two ways). I created 16 mazes and selected the one with the most complex solution path, and hand-edited it a bit to make it even harder. I can create more of these when there are requests for it, but otherwise this is the last one. (it took about 20 minutes to create this with the draw-fu I'm using, and 15 minutes to test it for solvability) It's so complex the checker timed out, but with line logic and easy guessing I could solve it.

For the record, using the clue that there are no 2x2 blocks of white, this is not only easily solvable without any guessing, but actually pretty interesting. A bit tedious perhaps due to its size, but just the sort of mindless thing I like with a podcast playing in the background.

I know this an older puzzle and probably nobody cares, but I enjoyed this. That said, I won't even bother marking this comment as a hint because solving this the standard way looks like it'd be miserable. Dear future reader, I hope you did as the puzzle title suggested!

I did enjoy this puzzle, but don’t think it is for everyone. It took about a week for me.

This was time-consuming and sometimes tedious BUT a great logic workout!
