Ever-Changing Puzzle Game “Baba is You” Launches March 13

Indie developer Hempuli Oy has announced the release date for Baba Is You.

The ever-changing puzzle game where you can tweak the rules as you play will launch on March 13th for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux (via Steam, Humble Store, and itch.io) and on Switch via the eShop.

Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the game. Here’s an overview of the game:


Baba Is You is an award-winning puzzle game where you can change the rules by which you play. In every level, the rules themselves are present as blocks you can interact with; by manipulating them, you can change how the level works and cause surprising, unexpected interactions! With some simple block-pushing you can turn yourself into a rock, turn patches of grass into dangerously hot obstacles, and even change the goal you need to reach to something entirely different.

The game has over 100 levels that experiment with the game’s mechanics in a multitude of ways, requiring the player to understand and manipulate the rules of the game and figure out devious ways to make the objects in the game world interact. The game will also feature a level editor for making your own levels and campaigns.

The game was originally created for and won the Nordic Game Jam 2017. Baba Is You also won the Excellence in Design and Best Student Game awards in the Independent Games Festival 2018, and was nominated a finalist in 2 other categories, including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The game was made using Multimedia Fusion 2 by Clickteam.
