Baba Is You

I played a few more levels (still around 150 completed). Here’s what I wrote down in order to figure out zone 2, extra 3:

To win you need to do one of these:

  1. remove 2 tiles of water (to get out). this seems to require turning all 3 objects into the same type
  2. write “X is you” horizontally
  3. push “X is you and” down onto “win” from above

1 seems impossible because you can’t turn anything into the thing that’s currently you. when it says “X is you” you can’t write “Y is X” with only one “is”.

2 seems impossible because you can’t change the “is you” to horizontal in one move even if you control multiple units. you can only move in one direction in one turn, but rearranging requires a horizontal push and a vertical push.

3 seems impossible because there’s only 5 vertical space above the water. with 7 i could win. i can have 2 keys 1 baba and move “key/baba is you” over sideways. but once it’s in position, i don’t have space for “key is you and open”. well, i have 5 spaces, but so it fits in the right column, but there are two issues. i need to fit the key below it to run into the water, and i need a space above to push it down after breaking the water. i can’t break the water first because i need all 3 units to move the “X is you” sideways. the “is you” tiles have to both move at the same time.

rules available:

flag/key/baba is you [and open]
flag/key/baba is flag/key/baba (transform something that isn’t you into something else that isn’t you)
X [and Y] is open (stuff that isn’t you)
flag/key/baba is you and flag/key/baba (turn yourself into something else and lose immediately)

using 1 of each object, you can do “flag and baba is you” and then push the “is you” over to make “key is you”. you can move “is you” sideways keeping 3 separate objects. but i don’t see how that helps.

to break water, i need to be multiple objects and have them be open. i can’t be two different things at once and have the open property, so i need to have two of the same thing and make it open. then i can break one piece of water and have 2 different objects left.

to write something with “win” without getting it out, i need to come from the top or left.

i need to write “X is win” or “X is you and win”

i could write “key is flag and win” and “baba is you” at the same time.

i could write “key is open and win” and “baba is you” together. that’ll work!!!
