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.
Baba Is You is a tile-based puzzle game. The player controls (usually) a cartoonish creature named Baba, and has to get Baba to a level goal. The levels also contain various other objects (walls, rocks, doors etc.) with differing properties. The rules governing the behavior of these objects are depicted within the levels as simple sentences. For example, "Rock is Push" indicates that rocks can be pushed, "Wall is Stop" indicates that walls are impassable, and "Baba is You" indicates that Baba is the controllable character.
However, in a twist, the words that make up these sentences are treated as physical objects in their own right, and can be pushed around to assemble new sentences and completely change the game rules. For instance, the player can disassemble the sentence "Wall is Stop" so that walls can be passed through freely, or assemble the sentence "Rock is You" to let him control the rocks. Completing each level inevitably requires skillful manipulation of the rules. As the game progresses, new words start appearing, introducing ever more complex mechanics. Often, the player must find out by experimentation the unexpected ways in which various rules can interact. "Undo" and "Restart" commands are available in case the player finds himself in an unwinnable situation.
