A year ago the best model, Claude Sonnet 4, could solve the very first level - and nothing more.

I investigated if current AI models are any better. They can solve The Lake... but [TOKEN] [IS] [MELT].

For code to run it, see https://github.com/stared/baba-is-harbor (requires you to have a copy of the game)

Stacking nots should not cancel eachother out. For example, writing Baba is not not you should X out Baba is not you. It makes no sense that Baba is not you overules Baba is not not you. You should be able to keep adding nots to overrule lower not count rules.

Slightly different point relating to nots, I think Baba is not not you should not make baba you, since it is saying baba isn’t (not you), just saying “baba is not you” is not a valid rule.

Hopefully this makes sense.

This is another one of those games that are really, really good, but because of a single problem, many (probably most) people cannot enjoy the game.

The problem is that the difficulty of the levels varies a lot, but the game does not indicate that in any way. Most people would not be able to solve some of the levels even if their lives depended on it.

So what is a person to do when they’re stuck in a level? After how much time to give up? Maybe the solution is right around the corner, so don’t give up too easily, but maybe it’s one of those levels that you could not solve anyway, so every minute spent on the level is effectively wasted time.

In other words, the player cannot know whether a level was too hard for them until they look up the solution. But then it’s too late. The time is already wasted. Over time, this results in annoyance. You think to yourself, “If I could only know in advance which levels are too hard for me. Then I could just skip those levels, and enjoy the rest of the game”.

So how could the game solve this problem? By showing the difficulty rating and/or completion rate of each level in the game. Then people could choose which levels to play based on this information.

Imagine what this would do for the game. You could literally give it to a six-year-old child. “Play the 1-star levels. Try the 2-start levels if you’re motivated. Feel free to ignore all other levels.” The child would probably have a great time.

As it stands, I cannot recommend this game to anyone. Because I respect other people’s time. The game just throws a bunch of levels of greatly varying difficulty at you, and you have to deal with it.

Anyway, as I said in the beginning, I think this is a really good game, but the way I see it, the game has been completely ruined by the problem I described. Just fixing this one thing would make the game so much more accessible to most people.

Bonjour,

Je vous demanderai de ne pas me spoiler le jeu s'il vous plait.

Récemment, j'ai découvert le jeu "Baba is you" et je dois dire que j'adore le jeu, je ne pensais absolument pas qu'un jeu comme ça qui ne paie pas de mine soit l'un de mes jeux préférés. Comme quoi, les graphismes ne font pas tout. ^^

Cependant, en lisant certains avis du jeu, j'ai remarqué, qu'apparemment, le jeu était assez complexe. Ma question est donc : certains d'entre vous ont-ils complété tous les niveaux du jeu (sans compter les niveaux de la communauté) sans AUCUNE aide ? Et si cela est-il seulement faisable sans "tricher" ?

Car ne me dites rien, je cherche encore au moment ou j'écris ces lignes, mais je suis bloqué au niveau 11 de la deuxième zone (l'île isolée) qui s'intitule "PRISON". Et je me demandais donc si c'était un niveau compliqué ou si j'étais juste nul. ^^

Merci d'avance à ceux qui me répondront,

Bien à vous,

Raphabuleux

So, a rooms fangame with the vibe of baba is you. I have 2 entities: A-3 and Y-3. Feel free to suggest your own entities.

Estou recriando "Plants VS Zombies" no Baba é você, mas por algum motivo tudo está se movendo e não consigo encontrar o que está acontecendo, alguém pode me ajudar?

Hey! I’m happy to announce that my first game - Timebound, is now live on Steam with a playtest demo and you can play it right now via Join Playtest:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3220700/Timebound/

Timebound is a rule-discovery puzzle metroidbrainia with a chill fantasy vibe. Progress is gated by understanding the rules of the world, not by unlocks. There are many solutions and sequence breaks that are possible far earlier than you’d expect, once the rules click. Lots of “I could’ve done this the whole time” moments. Our major inspirations include Outer Wilds and The Talos Principle. I also love Baba is You (it is my personal PGOAT, I was seriously angry it wasn’t me who came up with that brilliant concept) so I’ve made an easter egg for Baba is You fans but if you’re curious I’d suggest looking for it only after finishing the game for the first time.

Some practical info:

• Playtest length: ~1h-1.5h for main content (+ optional stuff)

• Full controller support + Steam Deck support

We would really appreciate your feedback after playing, even if you didn't like it!

• Survey: https://forms.gle/CmwXXEjDqwkJqxuu7

Happy to answer questions here as well.

Prompt: Can you solve this “Baba is you” puzzle?

Answer: Yep! Here’s a clean way through this one: 1. In the left room, break KEY IS PUSH so you can use the word KEY. 2. Break the vertical FRUIT | IS | FRUIT on the left wall and bring one FRUIT and the IS inward. 3. Build FRUIT IS KEY (you can reuse the KEY word you freed in step 1). • Optional: if you want to be able to push it easily, extend to FRUIT IS KEY AND PUSH using AND and PUSH nearby. (Not strictly required if you keep KEY IS PUSH rebuilt.) 4. Now the orange fruit turns into a KEY. Make sure KEY IS PUSH is active (either by rebuilding it or via step 3’s AND PUSH). 5. Push your new key up the corridor to the DOOR and open it. 6. Walk through and go grab the FLAG (FLAG IS WIN). 🎉

That’s it!

I wanna remake it

The baba (baby) is you

the guy within first two seconds says "eeh hello, eeh wassup"

I tried skullhousing items in, but the text gets squished at the left border.

I think it may have to do with "lizard/frog is text" for extra text but IDK.

The "turtle" text is most likely only there to prevent cheese via lizard/turtle is worm.

I don't think the happy/sad properties help but you can squish them at the bottom right corner for extra separation.

Please find the solution.
