Thank you everyone who's solved these. Glad you're enjoying them!
Rules:
• Shade some white cells such that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent, and draw a loop that travels orthogonally through all unshaded white cells without intersecting itself or crossing bold borders.
• Clues marked with arrows give the sum of all shaded cells in the given direction, or directions combined, where a cell's value is 1 if it is inside the loop and -1 if it is outside the loop.
• Gears visited by the loop must alternate inside and outside (or vice versa). A gear is considered visited when the loop travels directly from a cell not touching that gear to a cell touching that gear.
Clockwork Yajilin series:
• Orientation
• Parallel Motion
• Parity Point ◄
• Challenger
• Blackout Cipher
Lösungscode: using + and - for shaded cells, T for a turn and S for a straight segment: row 4 followed by row 10 (ignore given grey cells)

I'm trying out this type of offset-grid for the Clockwork series (sudokupad.app/iqgden972q), and there are... upsides and downsides. The good part is that I can color in/out, but the bad part is that I can't easily mark non-shaded cells in which I don't have a loop segment yet.
I think the upsides are worth it though.

Super serie !
This one is definitely harder than #1 and #2. One has to be very careful about each deduction here. Every detail is important.
Keep them coming ! Thanks :)
