This is a Remembered Length puzzle.
Puzzle 345

One might see this as the harder sequel to Puzzle 338. I honestly have little idea if this puzzle is easier to solve with logic or with intuitive, Numberlink-style thinking. Pick your favorite approach.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the gimmick here replicates a puzzle type that’s already been done before.

Very enjoyable solve, used a mixture of all types of reasoning including the loop direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) which helps a lot once you figure out which one it is, once you get the bottom left part.

It somewhat turned into an anglers puzzle, with the exception that the fishermen catch each other instead of fish. It at least solved a lot like one when I did it.

Oh yeah, it does solve sort of like Anglers. I knew I was having deja vu when making/testing this one.
Fishermen catching each other, huh? I’d really love to see how that would work out in reality.

I’ll ditto what Bram said. With checkerboard shading logic and assigning a goal for each start it very much captured that puzzle type but with internal fishers. Very enjoyable.

Fun stuff. I like the others better as this one was too driven by the 100 count of boxes, and therefore a bit too much numberlink-lite-ish sorta.
Keep em coming please. Thanks.
