Baba Is You is a grid-based puzzle game in which you guide Baba and other objects through a series of levels. The rules that define the world are made of word blocks you can move.
Push words into new arrangements to change rules such as who you control, what blocks movement, and which object wins the level. Combining and rearranging rules lets you reshape the board and find a route to victory.
More than 200 levels introduce and recombine mechanics as you progress through different areas. The game also includes a level editor for making custom puzzles.
In this sample, players often praise the inventive rule-changing puzzles and the surprising ways simple mechanics combine. Many describe solving a difficult level as especially satisfying, though others find the challenge steep and later puzzles obscure or frustrating.
