Baba is You is a very good, very charming puzzle game released for Mac, Linux, PC, and the Nintendo Switch created by local goon Hempuli. I'd describe it as a logic puzzle dressed as a block-pushing puzzle. This quote from the Baba is You website tells you everything you need to know:quote:Baba Is You is a puzzle game where the rules you have to follow are present as physical objects in the game world. By manipulating the rules, you can change how the game works, repurpose things you find in the levels and cause surprising interactions! Or watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7MJljsoUSo If you are not sure if you want to pay for Baba is You (even though you totally should), there is a demo of sorts available: President Ark posted:It's probably worth putting in the OP that Baba Is You was conceived at a game jam, and the game jam build is still available which serves as a kind of demo for people interested in how it plays. Spoilers and Puzzle Solutions Baba is You does not have a story, but maybe spoiler tag puzzle solutions so people can try on their own?

This game is great and I would accept a small hint for:Regy Rusty posted:Ugh I'm so stumped at the Baba level River-10 with the cog on the other side of hot water. This might be the first one I have to skip and come back to. Meanwhile fortunately there are many other levels to do, Baba is Love and Life.

Regy Rusty posted:This game is great and I would accept a small hint for: Sure! In order of spoilery-ness: Think about what you can actually manipulate. Think of the water graphic as just another object with no inherit properties than what it is given through text. [SINK] is the key thing to think about here. What can it take? You used [SINK] in a previous level to get rid of something, right? What is truly expendable to open the path, and you don't need again afterwards? The moment [SINK] becomes active the first time is the moment it must do something. Text is still an object. Even after you solve this puzzle, that last spoiler is going to be SUPER important going forward, and you should check it out after you finish the level.

I'm already stuck in the Lake level 2, "Turns". SINK lets you pass things with DESTROY, so I got the CRAB word out, but I can't do anything with it. Yes I can turn any object into any other object and control whether it's PUSH or not, but that's it. It's a dead end. There will always be a CRAB or ROCK or STAR outside of the level that I can't interact with, and BABA is YOU seems to be an immutable rule.

LifeLynx posted:I'm already stuck in the Lake level 2, "Turns". If getting CRAB out isn't the answer, maybe you need to get something else in there instead. BABA is YOU isn't quite as immutable here as it might seem. You can't move the text, but you can add on to the beginning of it. The rule you need is: CRAB and BABA is YOU.

Synthbuttrange posted:I got into the sunken palace 2 and gently caress YOU JELLYFISH Hint time! So, pre-placing the rock inside the flag room isn't going to work. But there's something different about the entrance... You're going to need to sneak something inside that room AFTER the crab is DEFEAT. You can't push in the object by itself, but.... TEXT is always PUSH. Make redundant text and use it to help push an inert object inside the room, then make it YOU.

I haven't played a puzzle game in so long I forgot the rule of not playing them when I'm exhausted because it will just lead to me looking up the answers online and feeling dumb.

I said this in the switch thread but my favorite mechanic is still the BABA is BABA one, his existence is immutable do not dare to meddle, mortals. I got completely stumped on a bunch of levels in the Fall zone but then plowed right through the Temple so hopefully i'll make better progress in the other one later.

Your Computer posted:fittingly, the level I'm completely stuck on is 'Prison' One way or the other, that (WALL) {IS} [STOP] has to go. Have you ever gotten objects to overlap before? That's key to breaking up the WALL code. MOVE is completely redundant, but (KEKE) is not. (KEKE) {IS} (BABA) There's a very particular set up for your two Babas. SOLUTION: Set up one Baba on top of the WALL code, the other on bottom. Move in one direction (this overlaps one part of the code on one of the Babas), then move the other direction (this breaks the code) Roluth fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Mar 15, 2019 |

WALL IS STOP isn't as immutable as it seems You're going to need to have two things be YOU What would happen if there was one Baba above WALL and one Baba below STOP and you tried to move up or down? Move IS into place before moving KEKE into place

I think I'm overthinking Ruins-10, "Further Fields." All of my ideas keep coming back to needing to set up KEKE IS PUSH so that one of the Babas pushes Keke onto the other side of the grass while KEKE isn't YOU, and then have another one of the Babas cause KEKE to be YOU again. But that's so fiddly to set up that I'm not sure it's even possible.
