Best Puzzle Game I’ve Ever Played
Thu Dec 23 2021 the hollow oakDon’t get me wrong, I love Monument Valley and Gris, but those games rarely challenged me like this game does. I’m almost never stumped on puzzle games, but there’s several levels in this game that I can’t figure out, and many more that took me a long while to get. Which is exactly what I want!
The actual logic of the puzzles is so refreshingly new and interesting. The levels have a range of difficulties, and you don’t have to beat all the levels to progress. This allows you to skip levels that get too frustrating while having the option to try them again later. There’s also some bonus puzzles and secret areas which are so satisfying to find.
INCREDIBLE GAME one minor complaint
Wed Jan 01 2025 IhavedoneareviewSo other than one thing it’s all you can ask for from a puzzle game look at other reviews for details but one thing that annoys me is that for specific levels a specific strip of words is just not allowed like I wanted to turn kaka into a key on level 2 in forest of the fall and it just had a red X over it and it wouldn’t let me. and in a game about changing the propriety’s of objects this really bugs me this doesn’t ruin the game but I feel like their has to be could be a better way to do stop a player form doing a certain sentence in a certain level like “baba can’t key” or some word indicating that you can’t do that.
Incredible Experience
Sun Jul 18 2021 Spring578423As IGF Winner, the design concept is awesome. I feel extremely surprised for the level design, and I enjoy the process finding solutions. The most amazing part is finding the inner world, solving levels outside the levels. The levels tell me that things can also be different ways, and never bring your fixed opinion into the game. Great!
The developers also respond fast to the issue report. Worth for a like.
The only weakness may come from the full openness of the concept. Some levels may be too hard for first players to solve, the attributes of some special nouns or objects may be too hard to figure out.
Best Puzzle Game I’ve Played
Mon Mar 07 2022 gollicDespite its simplistic appearance, this is definitely the hardest puzzle game I’ve played. And the best. The fact that it was created at a GameJam is awesome. The concept is fun and unique, great to pass the time, works your brain, nice eerie soundtrack, neat Easter eggs, a boatload of levels, however the game is still beatable (which I like), and some of the thought behind the levels is actually crazy. Truly challenges you to think outside the box. Plus, the developer collects no user data, which is a nice cherry on top. (One thing to note, I also own the PC version, you should bring the level creator over to mobile ;)
Innovative, challenging and rewarding!
Sat Apr 23 2022 JacarandatreeBaba is you is completely unique! Being able to mess around with the control logic made me laugh at how static I have become after decades of typical arcade games - fixed in my head that walls can’t be moved or the flag is always the goal. Some of the boards are super challenging, taking me several sessions to work through, but when you finally get it right, it’s totally satisfying! I especially like that the game is non-linear so that if you get stuck, you can work on another level and come back to it later. Thank you for putting a fresh spin on puzzle games!
Great… but ridiculously difficult
Fri Jul 07 2023 EnteraliasherePretty sure you need to be a software developer, and a really good one at that, to truly enjoy this game. I love puzzle games and am pretty good at them, but this one… I gave it 4 stars bc I love the concept and it’s cute and engaging. The main reason I gave it 4 stars is that its difficulty is not a deal-breaker. Some games are difficult purely bc their solutions aren’t logical. These are logical, and you feel like you’re learning something even if you have to look up the solution. That said, it does eventually get a bit demoralizing. I would suggest taking notes for the more difficult levels, bc you may forget some of the partial solutions.
Amazing puzzles, hours of content
Sun Jun 30 2024 imfhI really enjoy puzzles, even when they are difficult to solve. Especially if they are difficult to solve. Baba is you has a great mix of hard and easier puzzles so you never have to get bored. The puzzles keep going too! I have spent nearly 60 hours on the game and have solved more than 200 puzzles, but I still haven’t solved everything.
I love it for the phone because it is a good pocket game to play to pass the time while you are out and about. I highly recommend it if you enjoy puzzles and logic.
Great game, problem with the screen on some levels.
Tue Jun 29 2021 NoThisBePatrickA really good mobile port, the controls work great and I’ve only noticed one problem that actually affected gameplay; the screen formatting for some levels can get screwy. Usually there’s just some stray pixels at the top of the screen that look weird, but on rare occasions you can’t see some parts of the level. The only level this has happened with for me so far is heavy cloud, where there’s text completely off screen.
Fantastic puzzle game
Fri Feb 03 2023 zombieseaweedThis is the best puzzle game I've ever played. A lot of puzzle games have consistent rules throughout them, not this one. The rules constantly change sometimes by yourself. You have to think outside the box and abstractly to figure out some levels. One warning though, this game gets HARD. The earlier levels are manageable but the later ones are insane. There have been some levels that took me a month to figure out. Great game worth the money.
Amazing puzzles if you can decipher the graphics!
Wed May 11 2022 Dave with iPodI love this game. The puzzles are challenging and highly addictive. I find myself coming up with solutions outside of my play time because the problems continue to cycle in my head when I close the game
However. And it’s a big one.
However, the graphics are so dark that some objects are essentially invisible while they are in their inactive state. I’ve used the setting for “force high contrast colors” and it does Nothing. No change. I’m on an iPhone SE second gen. I continue to play in dark spaces with my screen brightness turned all the way up. And this is the sacrifice I make for this game. But it shouldn’t be this way.
Please tell me there is a fix coming!
