Baba Rule Shifter — Alter Rules with Words Puzzle
How to play
Move your character using Arrow keys, WASD, or swipe gestures. Push word blocks to form valid horizontal or vertical triplets like [Subject] [IS] [Property] (e.g., BABA IS YOU, FLAG IS WIN, WALL IS STOP, ROCK IS PUSH) to apply rules in real-time. Pushing words apart breaks and revokes existing rules. Use 'Z' or the Undo button to freely rewind moves.
Origin & history
Baba Rule Shifter brings the mind-bending brilliance of Hempuli's celebrated masterpiece 'Baba Is You' to the web. Words are physical objects you can push and rearrange. Aligning word triplets instantly re-compiles the universe's governing laws in real-time.
FAQ
What should I do when a wall blocks my path to the flag?
Locate the 'WALL IS STOP' text triplet and push the middle 'IS' or 'STOP' block out of alignment. Breaking the sentence immediately strips walls of their collision property, letting you phase right through them.
What happens if all 'YOU' rules are broken and nothing is you?
With nothing assigned to 'YOU', movement inputs produce no effect. Simply press the Undo key ('Z') to step back in time before the identity was severed.
