About Baba Is You
Baba Is You is a puzzle game where the rules themselves are your tools. You guide Baba through levels by pushing around word blocks that define what things are and how they behave. Change a rule and you change reality, opening new paths to the goal. It rewards lateral thinking and creative experimentation.
How to play Baba Is You
Explore each level and look for blocks of words scattered around. Push these words into new arrangements to form different rules, which instantly changes how objects in the level behave. Use this to turn obstacles into helpers, redefine what counts as Baba, or open new routes forward. Keep experimenting with combinations until you find one that lets you reach the goal.

- Read the word blocks like sentences, the order you arrange them changes what rule they create.
- If you get stuck, look for a rule you can break apart and rebuild differently.
