Description

Baba Is You is an award-winning puzzle game where you can change the rules by which you play. In every level, the rules themselves are present as blocks you can interact with; by manipulating them, you can change how the level works and cause surprising, unexpected interactions! With some simple block-pushing you can turn yourself into a rock, turn patches of grass into dangerously hot obstacles, and even change the goal you need to reach to something entirely different.

The game has over 200 levels that experiment with the game's mechanics in a multitude of ways, requiring the player to understand and manipulate the rules of the game and figure out devious ways to make the objects in the game world interact.

The game was originally created for and won the Nordic Game Jam 2017. Baba Is You also won the Excellence in Design and Best Student Game awards in the Independent Games Festival 2018, and was nominated a finalist in 2 other categories, including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The game was made using Multimedia Fusion 2 by Clickteam.

I went in expecting a chill little puzzle game with a cute bunny and got my brain folded in half instead. The genius of it is how clean the rules are: nothing is vague or trial-and-error, you push words around to

I got this game in a bundle on Itch.io in 2021 and decided to also buy it on steam. If i had to guess I have probably sunk well over 100 hours into this game and is by far my favorite puzzle game. PLEASE play this game

The only way to play and beat this game is to recognize that you can solve the puzzle when given enough time. This game is soooo hard. It's very fun and clever, but it is very hard. I've never had my brain broken so

Everyone will say that Baba is You is the most genius, mind-bending, conceptually brilliant puzzle game ever, and they're literally right. The combination of the most innovative puzzle concept ever with basic sokoban

I thought Baba is You extremely intriguing and enjoyable for the first hour or two. After that, it makes me feel frustratingly stupid. I like puzzle games. But this one goes out if its way to require obscure insights it

This is a brilliant game but it can get tedious at times. The most difficult puzzles purposefully misdirect you, which sometimes leads to coming up with elegant, clever solutions, and other times leads to fiddly
