About the game

XOR Stamp is a quiet printing-workshop puzzle. Each level gives you a sheet of paper, a small goal picture and a few rubber stamps in odd shapes. Drag a stamp onto the paper and it inks every cell it covers, but stamping over cells that are already inked wipes them clean again. Use every stamp exactly once so the paper matches the goal picture, and the print is perfect.

The catch is the move budget. Turning a stamp a quarter turn costs one move, so you have to work out not just where each stamp lands but which way it should face before you press. Overlaps are your friend: two stamps that share a corner can carve shapes neither could make alone. There are thirty workshop sheets plus a daily sheet that is the same for everyone. Hints show the next stamp of a working solution.
