Rules:
Divide the grid into polyominoes so that polyominoes of the same size don’t share an edge. Each cell contains a number equal to its polyomino’s size.
For each line, one circle contains an odd number, and the other an even. The odd circle gives the amount of odd numbers on the line (excluding itself), while the even circle gives the amount of even numbers (excluding itself).
If an odd number is in a cell with an arrow, it gives the amount of odd numbers in that direction (excluding itself) and if the number is even, it gives the amount of even numbers (excluding itself).

the solve was fun. you have to work each ruleset to unlock the other ruleset. there were several points where I had to ask "well how am I going to figure that one out", and the answer was to look around :)

I enjoyed it a lot - thank you!

Very fun and smooth puzzle, there are some very nice interactions here. Also, I found this as the easiest 100% on the portl, but by the time I solved it it went down. In any case, thanks for this puzzle.

Sorry, new to these kinds of puzzles. Is there a limit on the maximum size of polyominoes? Because I can't write anything larger than a 9 into the online solvers but that has not stopped some setters before, ha :)

In general, polyominoes can exceed 9 cells. When using SudokuPad, I tend to just enter the tens digit as a corner mark and the ones digit as a center mark. -Math Pesto
