"Move and shift" works the same way. In my head it's basically a function within a function f(g(x))

Baba Is You | OT Is Open

Yes and I found an absolutely crazy thing that doesn't even factor into the solution.
KEKE IS YOU and KEKE IS MOVE at the same time makes you move 2 spaces at once... I said holy shit
Yep. I have done it with MOVE on an earlier level. I don't know if I used it to solve anything though.
Returned to the game yesterday and started plowing through the hard levels. It's so much fun. When I figured Out at Sea and Broken Playground I was just amazed. 170 levels solved, of which I had to look up the solution of 8 and hints for 10 :(
Btw, if anyone comes here, there's a really great site which is this:
baba is hint
Gives really simple, non-spoilery hints for every level, in 3 tiers, and they're pretty helpful stuff while letting you figure out pretty much everything.
For example, one hint for Floatiest Platforms was:
And this led me to figure out what I had to do.

"You don't die because Baba steps off the platform. You die because Baba is Lonely."
Also bought it this sale. Early on and it's pretty tough but I am loving it! Never played anything quite like, there was a lot of thought and effort put into each level.
Jesus christ, this game is amazing.
After the very first level with mixing different text fragments I was blown away. Such a great concept. Holy crap. I think this will dethrone Opus Magnum as my favourite logic/puzzle game. Fantastic little thing. I also love the jolly atmosphere and "low effort" visuals.

Early game !
Levels like Tiny Pond, Research Facility, and even in World 1 Sunken Temple. But it's been a while since I dropped it so maybe I'm just rusty
So after this came back up on GMTK, I remembered that I hadn't actually finished everything in this game and went back in to get everything done in Meta that I hadn't finished yet.
Then I got really frustrated because I couldn't find the last orb and looked it up. As it turns out it was the FIRST orb I was actually missing. I would literally have never thought to go back to that level if I hadn't looked it up.
Been playing for about 10 hours now. About 1 hour of that time has been spent on Prison which I have finally figured out. What a feeling!
Loving the game but I'm pretty sure I'm going to do exactly what I did with Snakebird and Stephen's Sausage Roll; hit a wall and eventually stop playing.
Until then though...
BABA
IS
WIN

Mapping out what you can and can't do in terms of the game logic seems to help e.g. some blocks are against walls and therefore cannot be moved. It's still rock hard though.
I played this for like a week at release and totally dropped it, so now coming back a year later after watching the Game Maker's Toolkit video on it and it's so good!

Holy shit. This is the best game ever. Saw some episodes of a let's play every now and then, which were really entertaining. Finally decided to buy it just now.
Baba is amazing.
Baba is amazing.
The amount of mind bending logic breaking shit in the game is simply amazing xD
So I'm completely stuck on Pillar Yard and Submerged Ruins.
I've basically come nowhere and I already find it incredibly frustrating 😅
Not asking for help, but seriously why so hard so fast? It's like I can do so many things but none of them help me win 😂
edit: I looked up the solution to Submerged Ruins and immediately refunded it. I don't have the patience 😂

Been playing this game on and off since buying it last week and have hit a wall.
I just can't figure out Evaporating River.. It's driving me nuts and is making me feel stupid.
Maybe I just need to move on for a bit because maybe I have got tunnel vision at the moment or something.

Move on. Come back to it, and you'll figure it out. Like with any problem-solving endeavor, often a break is best.
Yeah I guess I should. It's just that most other puzzles so far only took a little while before I knew what to do.
So far I have grasped the objectives pretty fast and only had to take a little time to find out how to complete that objective.
In the case of Evaporating River I thought I figured out the objective but I just can't find a way to do it.
I probably am too focused on the objective that I had in mind that I now can't see a clear picture.
I know the feeling. I completed 85 or so puzzles iirc. Most were pretty breezy (though always clever). But a handful of them were brutal and took me multiple days to figure out.
That one took me forever. But like with most of the other times I got stuck (like Prison or whatever the level is called), it's because there was a rule or property that I wasn't aware of.
Somehow I feel better knowing that it's not out of the ordinary to take forever lol.
So, way too early into this game they make you
Just cruel lol. When I figured it out I went "you bastard" and promptly kept playing.
So . . . Baba Is You is good.
That said, I do feel a bit like I'm brute forcing solutions instead of understanding the mechanics. I'm guessing that's pretty usual when you're getting started? Does that feeling change to "understanding"?
solve a puzzle by creating a contradictory rule.

Absolutely to your last question. The puzzles become complex and brute forcing at least for me just ends up in lots of time wasted, and dead ends. A good tip I found that helps me is to think of the goal and work from there. The "ladder" sort of builds from there to the start.
Gotcha. I've been trying to work out things from the (seeming) solution, but I do keep running into moments where some other option just works better. For example, I just solved two puzzles the same way
(pushing text blocks into Water-IS-Sink blocks, and I'm not sure that was the goal at all. Kinda feel like I may have missed whatever the game meant to teach me there? Or, maybe I did it right and that was the lesson?)
So you mean you pushed the text into the water, causing the text to sink into the water?
That's definitely the intended way to solve the level. It basically teaches you that the TEXT has all the properties of PUSH and interacts with the world in a lot of the same ways.
For most of the early levels, the game restricts you in such a way that there is usually only one solution.
But if you feel like you aren't absorbing the lessons, it might be helpful to take a break. I took a literal two-year break from the game and feel like I'm absorbing a lot more than the first time, lol.

Edit: I mistyped something in the first line, it's been corrected.
Gotcha. I felt like that was intentional the first time, but since both maps were solved the same way, I thought I was missing something. Good to know!
Big update for this coming next week including a level maker, and 150 new puzzles.

Baba Is You reveals free Baba Make Level update
A major Baba Make Level update is revealed for Baba Is You with a level editor and more. Fans can check out the patch notes and trailer.
nintendoeverything.com
I know Baba is You is not the hot zeitgeist, but, um...holy shit.
Even ignoring all user-generated content, there appear to be two new "campaigns" made by the developer. I have no idea how long or expansive the second one ("Museum") is, but the first is...incredible.
I've beaten fifty levels and there appear to be at *least* a hundred at this point. Most/many feature entirely new words and mechanics that end up being an utter delight. Squint your eyes a bit and this is Baba is You 2. I'm absolutely loving it.
I think, after thinking about it for awhile, that Baba is You is the best pure puzzle game made. Portal and Portal 2 are amazing for reasons others than the pure nature of the puzzling, Stephen's Sausage Roll doesn't have the breadth of mechanics, and The Witness was made by a fucking tool.
Play this update y'all.

there's i think 85 levels in museum and 152 in new adventures atm?
Baba is You is my favorite puzzle game. I don't know if I've played enough to make a judgment on "best ever made." But of those I've played it's the one that makes me smile the most, and wonder how the heck these ideas came about.
I think it will be an evergreen, timeless game, like FTL or Spelunky; more so with this update adding a level creator! :)
