1Baba Is You - Baba Is You is a puzzle game where the rules you have to follow are present as blocks you can interact with. By manipulating them, you can change how the game works, repurpose things you find in the levels and cause surprising interactions!
Mar 13, 2019
In this game, you can…
- rewrite the rules mid-level by pushing word blocks, so you suddenly control walls, rocks, or multiple things at once.
- make lava become "Win," then touch any lava tile to instantly clear the level.
- make the level itself become something like "Win" or "Baba," so the map stops being a stage and becomes part of the rules.
- remove the "is" from "Lava is Defeat" and then walk across lava safely, since the rule is what makes it deadly.
- push "Flag is You" into place, and then you literally become the flag and move around as the goal object.
- swap who "You" is entirely, so Baba can become a wall, a skull, or anything else—shared, duplicated, or transformed mid-level.
- set up a rule chain where an object moves around and pushes word blocks for you, like a tiny self-running logic machine.
2Patrick's Parabox - A mind-bending recursive puzzle game about boxes within boxes within boxes within boxes. Learn to use infinity to your advantage as you explore a deep and elegant system.

- step into a box and explore the level inside it.
- push a level until it shrinks into a single tile, then enter that tile and keep playing inside it.
- step between nested levels that run at different scales, so the same move can land you in a bigger or smaller version of the world.

- undo to reset the entire level state, then redo forward again to test wild ideas safely.
