Baba is You Review

Posted: 8 months ago, last updated 13 days ago.

Overview

Baba is You requires some lateral thinking. Each level is controlled by rules written on the screen, such as ‘Lava is Hot’, ‘Wall is Stop’ and ‘Flag is Move’. By moving the words around with your pixilated character, you subvert the level’s logic to your advantage.
