176: Baba Is You

from The Short Game Hosted by The Short Game

Game Is Good! This week we’re discussing the award winning puzzle game Baba Is You, from Finnish developer Hempuli Oy. In this mind- (and rule-bending) puzzle game, each Sokoban-style level is governed by a unique set of simply stated rules (Baba Is You, Block Is Push, Flag Is Win etc) each of which is represented by a set of physical rule-objects that can be pushed around and manipulated within the game. Each level involves re-working the rules to create a win-condition. It’s one of the most interesting puzzle games we’ve ever covered on the show. Baba Is You is available on Switch and pretty much all of the PC game stores including Itch.io, for $15. You can follow our show on Twitter at @_shortgame Like the show?
