Challenging · Fantasy

Baba Is You's genius lies in its deceptively simple premise: rules are blocks, and you can manipulate them. By pushing words around, you transform the very laws of the game, creating and solving intricate puzzles with emergent solutions. The feeling of realizing you can change "Baba is You" to "Wall is You" and then simply walking through a level's obstacles is a unique brand of puzzle satisfaction that players will find difficult to shake.

About Baba Is You

Details
Baba Is You is a 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.
