Baba Is You
How does the rule manipulation system work in Baba Is You?
You push word blocks around the level to create new sentences that change the game's logic. For example, if a block says 'ROCK IS PUSH' and another says 'WATER IS SINK', you can push 'ROCK' onto 'SINK' to make 'ROCK IS SINK', allowing rocks to sink into water and create a path.
Does Baba Is You have a level editor or hint system?
Yes, it includes a built-in level editor where you can create and share your own puzzles. There's also a hint system, but it only gives vague nudges like 'try moving more words around' to encourage you to figure things out yourself.
What should I do if I get stuck on a level in Baba Is You?
Try thinking backwards—consider what would happen if you change a rule like making the flag pushable or turning Baba into a rock. The hint system can also give you a nudge, but often moving more word blocks around reveals new solutions.
Does Baba Is You save progress mid-level if I close the app?
No, the game does not save your progress mid-level, so if you close the app, you'll have to restart that puzzle. This is fine for short play sessions, but it might annoy some players who need to pause longer.
How does Baba Is You compare to other puzzle games like The Witness or Stephen's Sausage Roll?
Unlike many puzzle games that add mechanics gradually, Baba Is You lets you rewrite the rules of each level itself, offering a unique twist on logic puzzles. It's more accessible than Stephen's Sausage Roll and less abstract than The Witness, with over 200 levels and no ads or in-app purchases for a one-time price of around $6.99.
