How to Play Baba Is You
Baba Is You presents players with a series of single-screen puzzles. Each level contains objects, characters, and, most importantly, words that act as rules. These rules are presented in a simple, visual format, such as:
- BABA IS YOU: This means the player controls the character Baba (a white, sheep-like creature).
- WALL IS STOP: This rule prevents Baba (or anything that IS YOU) from moving through walls.
- FLAG IS WIN: Touching the flag while it IS WIN is the usual objective.
The core gameplay of Baba Is You involves pushing these word blocks around to alter the rules. For example:
- Breaking Rules: If "WALL IS STOP" is preventing progress, you can push the word "STOP" away, breaking the connection and allowing Baba to pass through walls.
- Creating New Rules: You might change "WALL IS STOP" to "WALL IS YOU," making you control the walls instead of Baba. Or, change "FLAG IS WIN" to "ROCK IS WIN," making any rock the new goal.
- Complex Interactions: Baba Is You introduces many other keywords, such as "PUSH," "PULL," "SINK," "DEFEAT," "MOVE," "OPEN," "SHUT," and more. These combine in increasingly complex ways, forcing players to think creatively and experiment. The word "NOT" can be used to negate rules.
The brilliance of Baba Is You lies in its open-ended nature. There are often multiple solutions, and the game encourages experimentation. Baba Is You has an "undo" feature, allowing players to rewind their moves and try different approaches without penalty. Baba Is You features over 200 levels.
