Originally a (winning) itch.io Game Jam submission, a much-expanded, full version is now out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/736260/Baba_Is_You/
It's a Sokoban-y, block-pushing puzzle game, with the following, wonderful twist: Some of the blocks are words, and the rules of the level are spelled out in these words. The three blocks "WALL" "IS" "STOP" all lined up mean that any wall blocks will stop you. But if you push one of those blocks away, WALL is no longer STOP. One of the main rules that the levels begin with is the titular "BABA IS YOU", but even this most basic rule can also be mutated based on how you push the words around. Every level provides at least one joyful moment of unexpected discovery and clever rule-bending.
It is the most brilliant puzzle game you will play this year, and maybe ever. If you don't believe me, which you don't, you can still play the Game Jam version for free here, and then instabuy the Steam version and come back and apologize for doubting me: https://hempuli.itch.io/baba-is-you
Amazing. |
