Excellent stuff! These XOR videos have tickled my nostalgia.

I don't remember getting very far with this game but certainly put a lot of time in when I was a kid, I definitely didn't get as far as you.

It would be really nice to see the solution to all 15 levels. I think there were 15 levels anyway, correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, there are 15 levels, and I'm going to video the remaining ones; sorry it's taking so long.

Yes! I've FINALLY managed to beat this game, and revealed Xor's personality (very clever)!

What a marvelous game. The puzzle designer was a genius!

Thank-you so much for sharing this game with me - I'd never have played it if it weren't for your videos.

Was there some sort of competition you could enter for this game? I tried keying the solution into the title screen, hoping for some hidden congratulatory message - but to no avail.

Can't imagine ever solving this without save states!

[SentinelProxima]

Congratulations! Yes, you were meant to send in your solution to qualify for membership of the "Order of Xor". I'm afraid it's probably no longer possible to do so.

It took me ages to get into that lower room.

I remembered after making the video that this wasn't the way I originally solved it -- I used the first bomb to blow up the doll in the corner, using the fish above the map piece to detonate it, then used the other doll as a bridge to detonate the second bomb. But danceswithferrets has a truly incredible solution to this puzzle -- and since it uses all the objects I ignored in my route, it seems likely to be intended. If so, I'll have to take back what I said about this being meant to be easy!

Interesting start rooms for the two masks.
