So true! Learning the mechanics and combining all your knowledge to solve harder puzzles everytime is super satisfying. Especially since a lot of them have multiple solutions.
I love how dumb it sounds when one tries to describe the actual win condition of each Baba is You level. In many games it would be "You need to get to the finish point." but with Baba it's "A thing that is you must be in the same place as a thing that is win." Which sounds like it's just an overcomplicated and slightly dumb way of saying the first one, but it's a meaningful difference with the mechanics of the game.
Came to the comments looking for "he keeps reading 'defeat' as 'death'." Looks like he's not the only one. Actually, 'death' sounds more accurate for what it does - which is it kills you or, rather. any particular instance of you; with a legion of yous, the rest keep on trucking. 'Defeat' sounds like it should make you lose the ~~game~~ level.
I wonder how long it will take him to realize what "defeat" actually does. For those curious: anything which is "you" that touches a thing which is "defeat" disappears, but only that one object. If you've managed to be multiple objects (like when he became all the walls) it's totally fine to lose some of them.
@@stellasdoesstuff Not usually, but it wouldn't be hard to build a level with two "you" things where guiding one to a "win" thing inadvertantly causes the other to destroy some required text and the solution is to get the latter killed so the former can reach a "win" unimpeded.
It please me as a professional programmer to see a professional engineer struggle with basic coding. Keep it up, this is only the beginning and this game will take your brain to places
i... don't know if i would say that he struggled with coding. yes, you're putting rules together, but the challenge of the game comes when it's melted together with spacial reasoning challenges.
That solution to the first lake area puzzle he did at 9:40 was galaxy brain, when I did it I did it the "obvious" way, which is to do wall and baba is you and just used the walls to remove the jellyfish 😂
@@stevieinselby Fun fact: the first level with multiple solutions is level 0, where you can push the rock to reach the flag ("intended" win) or walk out of the apparent game area to mess with the rules in any number of ways!
For level six... you, as the wall, touched the flag. So you won that floor. ;p This is amazing; though perhaps more of a game for English majors that like to solve puzzles? Like crossword types. :)
Just the opposite. As an English major and cs minor, this is 100% a game for programmers who like to solve puzzles :P though English has a lot of logic problem solving to it as well
Thats what turned me off of Baba so much was the early levels have all this fun expression of solution in them and the later levels become much more rigid in their solutions. The game is sort of one thing at first thats wild and unexpected and then becomes a charming but difficult standard logic puzzle game in its back half.

Greetings from a german fan
This is such an interesting puzzle game, because while it does have a solid and unbreakable logic behind every action and interaction, you also need to let go of what “makes sense”. It makes sense that you play as the little white rabbit and push rocks and touch the flag to win, but you can’t depend on that logic and need to focus on what rules are in play at the moment, regardless of what objects would normally do. Like it doesn’t matter if it’s Baba or lava or a wall, they don’t have any predetermined properties beyond what rules are on screen, and I think that’s so clever as a puzzle despite its simplicity.
It’s also interesting because it allows players to be in their own way. The answer is right there but a player assumes the answer is impossible, based on preconceived notions. You need to look at the facts on each level separate from past levels
This game makes my head hurt. It’s absolutely impressive how my play through went exactly the same way, going for the same pitfalls, challenges, and realizations.
Commenting for traction, this is one of my favorite games ever. I finally completed every level after a paltry 75 hours of gameplay, but the new content has me back on it. You're gonna have fun
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Probably not super accurate since I would leave it running to walk the dog (or just enjoy the music), but that's what I have registered on Steam 😬
If you push all the way to the 100% end of the original levels, you will end up on at least a meaningful fraction of that. I put in maybe 10-15 hours before deciding that any further was too hard for me. But I did get one victory, so that's something.
According to the time thing on my save, it took me 30:16. At least three hours of that was repeating levels because I didn't have the 'meta' flower and I couldn't work out what I'd missed. (turned out to be the one that had been turned into "level")
Dude, I've been avoiding watching gameplays of BiY bc I didn't wanna just see someone else play it and spoil the game. The thing is: when you play games, I always feel like I'm playing along so hell yeah!
This game is awesome. The meta-gaming aspect of it just keeps zooming out further and further as you continue. It gets really mindbending once you get to levels 7+.
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming if something that is you touches something that is defeat, that thing is destroyed. There technically isn't a "lose" state in the levels, just spots where nothing is you. as long as at least 1 thing is still around that is you, there's no problem.
Please continue this. There's some great levels ahead and i notice people have come up with different solutions for them so I'm curious as tyo which one you'll choose. Submerged ruin took me forever ro get right. right now i'm in the midst of the Mountain levels and I'm pretty stuck.
Always love seeing how people approach this game! If you do play more of this it might be nice to relax the pace of the editing very very slightly, just so viewers have a bit more room to breathe and think through each of the levels alongside you. Doesn’t have to be much, even just the odd few seconds near the start of each level.
I love the simplicity of how when you get the solution it feels obvious, while also making you feel super smart getting it. Rage inducing complex simplicity!
That was a fun trip on my end. I enjoy watching people puzzle-solve games like this. It can be quite validating. Many who've thought through these puzzles before struggled in the exact same way. But that moment when you finally figure it out feels so good!
If you're confused, defeat doesn't mean you lose the level if you touch it, it just means that that part of you is gone. If you have 2 things that are you, you can move one of them into the defeat area to get to the "win" object. Also, you need to be "you" to finish the level. For example, if you have "baba is win", and the word "flag", if you push the word flag and baba to make "flag is win", that won't work because you are no longer baba.
seeing this really good game design in action is amazing, you learned the mechanics exactly like the game wanted you to and you understood the puzzles more and more even though they were becoming more complicated
To explain level 6, you are controlling every instance of the wall block, and you only need a single wall block to be with the win tile, in this case the flag. So since at least one of the wall tiles collided with the flag, you win. It doesn't matter what happens to the other wall bits
My parents let an architect stay at our house and one day he left the back door open and left so our dog got in and slept on all of our beds we had to wash everything
I have been watching CTC's streams too. It does look like a really fun game, and very taxing. Shame I haven't seen it on Steam on offer, or I would have picked it up. I'll just wait until it goes on sale now it's in my wishlist.
6:12 - Wall is you > you controlled the walls You moved around and destroyed several sections of wall on the skulls, but since there was still at least one wall (one you) in play, you hadn't lost yet. You then moved the wall onto the flag, and Flag is Win, so you won that level.
wow.I would definitely dive into this game for hours, stretch my brain like an elastic of my sweatpants and then try to shake this way of thinking off in real life again.
I'm kind of curious what would happen if you did "You is Win and Defeat" as you'd simultaneously win and lose logically. I wonder if the game has some type of priority system or if it executes in a specific order.
The thing about BIY is that the innate structure of puzzles are constructed with the notion that anything can be changed and fundamentally altered on a whim, as a result all things that are available can be intermingled with a bit of foresight like using one IS for two sentences or shifting sentences in a single move. Also note pressing space lets you use a move while stationary called idle. Either way good luck with the 150+ level update cause this is certainly gonna take a while
7:26 - walls aren't stop, so just push 'win' through the walls and swap it for 'grass is stop'. Now grass is win. Same with the final one you got stuck on - make crabs defeat and the flag win, then remove 'wall is stop' and just walk through the wall to get around the crabs. Looks like a fun game! I might have to get hold of it...
Baba is you is a great game. You need to think inside the box. Then outside the box. Then you need to become the box. Then you need to replicate your box-self into infinite Babas who warp spacetime.
DEFEAT doesn't make so that you lose the level, you only lose when there are no objects integrated to YOU, it instead destroys the YOU that enters in contact with the DEFEAT
On the Lava Introduction Level (Volcano) You should’ve done the much more fun victory of making Lava is You and then becoming a massive cascade of lava to pour over the flag
The best thing about watching other people play Baba Is You is being dumbfounded when they solve a problem completely differently to how you did - I just love it
I'm going to take this as an opportunity to explain some of the rules in this game. Individual nouns are not going to be explained; every non-special noun behaves in the exact same way. Everything below is a Property unless explicitly stated otherwise. IS - The most basic Operator. `[Noun] IS [Property]` makes every [Noun] have the property [Property]. `[Noun] IS [Noun 2]` turns every [Noun] into [Noun 2], unless `[Noun] IS [Noun]`. YOU - Any object that is YOU can be moved by the keys specified in the controls. If no such object exists, the music fades away*, however, things can still change in the level. WIN - If any object that is YOU occupies the same tile as an object that is WIN, the level is completed. This includes itself. STOP - If any object tries to move onto the same tile as an object that is STOP, the movement fails. PUSH - If any object tries to move onto the same tile as an object that is PUSH, the latter will move in and face the same direction. Implies STOP. `TEXT IS PUSH` by default. DEFEAT - If any object that is YOU occupies the same tile as an object that is DEFEAT, the YOU object is destroyed. This includes itself and occurs before WIN. SINK - If any object occupies the same tile as an object that is SINK, all objects on that tile are destroyed. This does not include itself. MELT and HOT - If any object that is MELT occupies the same tile as an object that is HOT, the former is destroyed. This includes itself. AND - An Operator. Can be used to chain Nouns, Properties, etc. Multiple rules formed in the same sentence using AND are functionally no different from each rule being formed individually. Examples: `[Noun 1] AND [Noun 2] IS [Property 1] AND [Property 2]` is equivalent to `[Noun 1] IS [Property 1]`, `[Noun 1] IS [Property 2]`, `[Noun 2] IS [Property 1]`, `[Noun 2] IS [Property 2]`; `[Noun 1] IS [Noun 2] AND [Noun 3] IS [Property]` is equivalent to `[Noun 1] IS [Noun 2] AND [Noun 3]`, `[Noun 3] IS [Property]`. MOVE - Any object that is MOVE will move in the direction it is facing. If the object cannot move onto a tile, reverses direction before moving.
So I'm a computer scientist, and at least some people think I'm fairly good at it (good enough to give me a PhD at least). It took me over 50 hours to beat the entirety of Baba is You and I needed hints for some of the levels (never went to get straight-up solutions though). So I am gleefully expecting to see you do more of this, this is gonna be so much fun. :D And I think you'll enjoy it tremendously as well, the stuff it does in the late game is just proper mind blowing. I actually burst out laughing, when you figured out an easy solution to Lake-3 without even considering what exactly "move" does and why it might be there. I feel like that's going to come back to bite you at some point. ;)
So glad to see you playing this incredible game! It may seem hard now, but if you power through, your brain simply levels up

6:20 - Wall is you, flag is win. Wall touch flag. Wall is win, you is wall. You is win. Easy!
8:45 u could have also changed the "Grass is stop" for "Grass is win"
It's an ingenious game: Great idea and wonderful puzzles. Love the whole atmosphere, too.
1:29 Level "What is this?", he: "What is this??"
As someone else who had their brain blow up playing this game I very much enjoy watching you play it
On the Lava Introduction Level (Volcano) You should’ve done the much more fun victory of making Lava is You and then becoming a massive cascade of lava to pour over the flag
"If I put my Rabbit behind the crabs" 🤣
I love how this game makes me feel like I've tricked and outsmarted iy, when in reality I solve the puzzles as intended
7:04 BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT BABA ANYMORE ASFJKLASFJLSKAJ
On Level 05, you can also write "Lava is Baba" for the most impressive way to solve that level
I am glad you find this game, this is IMHO a truely hidden gem!
(it also outmasterd me, a software engineer lol)
If you think playing this game fries your brain, just think of the minds that programmed it. I'm just in awe.
everyone: skull is death
dev : skull is defeat
The best thing about watching other people play Baba Is You is being dumbfounded when they solve a problem completely differently to how you did - I just love it
Having this on in the background and just hearing the dialogue without context ;) XD
6:25 wall is you and you touched a flag
I like how he just says "def" instead of reading the whole "defeat".
6:25
WALL is YOU and FLAG is WIN
You touched the flag as a wall and you won.
That need to scream everytime Matt said Death instead of Deafeat :D
I think the solution to the last one was supposed to be baba is push, so you could push the crabs. But I freakin love your solution!
Best part of watching others play Baba is you: seeing them solve levels in completely different ways than you did.
I'm going to take this as an opportunity to explain some of the rules in this game.
Individual nouns are not going to be explained; every non-special noun behaves in the exact same way.
Everything below is a Property unless explicitly stated otherwise.
IS - The most basic Operator. `[Noun] IS [Property]` makes every [Noun] have the property [Property]. `[Noun] IS [Noun 2]` turns every [Noun] into [Noun 2], unless `[Noun] IS [Noun]`.
YOU - Any object that is YOU can be moved by the keys specified in the controls. If no such object exists, the music fades away*, however, things can still change in the level.
WIN - If any object that is YOU occupies the same tile as an object that is WIN, the level is completed. This includes itself.
STOP - If any object tries to move onto the same tile as an object that is STOP, the movement fails.
PUSH - If any object tries to move onto the same tile as an object that is PUSH, the latter will move in and face the same direction. Implies STOP. `TEXT IS PUSH` by default.
DEFEAT - If any object that is YOU occupies the same tile as an object that is DEFEAT, the YOU object is destroyed. This includes itself and occurs before WIN.
SINK - If any object occupies the same tile as an object that is SINK, all objects on that tile are destroyed. This does not include itself.
MELT and HOT - If any object that is MELT occupies the same tile as an object that is HOT, the former is destroyed. This includes itself.
AND - An Operator. Can be used to chain Nouns, Properties, etc. Multiple rules formed in the same sentence using AND are functionally no different from each rule being formed individually. Examples: `[Noun 1] AND [Noun 2] IS [Property 1] AND [Property 2]` is equivalent to `[Noun 1] IS [Property 1]`, `[Noun 1] IS [Property 2]`, `[Noun 2] IS [Property 1]`, `[Noun 2] IS [Property 2]`; `[Noun 1] IS [Noun 2] AND [Noun 3] IS [Property]` is equivalent to `[Noun 1] IS [Noun 2] AND [Noun 3]`, `[Noun 3] IS [Property]`.
MOVE - Any object that is MOVE will move in the direction it is facing. If the object cannot move onto a tile, reverses direction before moving.
So I'm a computer scientist, and at least some people think I'm fairly good at it (good enough to give me a PhD at least). It took me over 50 hours to beat the entirety of Baba is You and I needed hints for some of the levels (never went to get straight-up solutions though). So I am gleefully expecting to see you do more of this, this is gonna be so much fun. :D And I think you'll enjoy it tremendously as well, the stuff it does in the late game is just proper mind blowing.
I actually burst out laughing, when you figured out an easy solution to Lake-3 without even considering what exactly "move" does and why it might be there. I feel like that's going to come back to bite you at some point. ;)
