Baba Is You is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is one of the most inventive and brain-meltingly brilliant puzzle games ever created. The premise is deceptively simple: rules are physical blocks within the level, and by pushing those blocks around, you can change how the game works. If a wall is blocking your path, move the blocks so they read 'Wall Is Push,' and suddenly you can push the wall out of the way. It’s a game about breaking the game, and the level of 'aha!' moments it provides is unmatched.
The mobile port is exceptionally well-done, with intuitive touch controls that make manipulating the blocks feel natural. It includes a staggering amount of content, including the 'New Adventures' pack with over 150 new levels. Be warned, though: this game is genuinely difficult. It requires you to unlearn everything you know about logic and look at the screen in a completely new way. When it finally clicks, it makes you feel like a genius. If you own a smartphone and like puzzles, you owe it to yourself to play this.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod

Baba Is You is a puzzle game where you can change the rules by which you play. In every level, the rules 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.

If you're stuck, look at the text blocks. Can you replace 'Baba' in 'Baba Is You' with something else? If 'Flag Is Win' is unreachable, can you make 'Rock Is Win' instead? Every object can be the hero or the goal if you arrange the words correctly.

Don't be afraid to experiment! The 'Undo' button is your best friend. Since many solutions require trial and error to see how a new rule affects the environment, you can quickly reverse any mistakes without restarting the entire level.
It is definitely challenging, but the sense of reward for solving a puzzle is immense. There are many 'easier' paths through the game to help you learn the logic.
