Never played sausage roll, keep hoping it gets released on switch but I really want to play it since I saw that talk from Jonathan blow talking about it. Three seems to be a similar game on switch, Pipes push paradise, have you played it?

Gosh, I'm so stupid. 20 or so levels and I'm already hitting a brick wall in all directions.
Why can't I be good to the games I love!

Pipe Push is fiendlishly hard too and pretty clever to, in a fashion similar to Sausage Roll. Not as clever, complex, or as well-designed, but I would recommend it as one of the puzzle gems of last year
Yep. It gets really tough really quickly.
...and I'm currently stuck on Tiny Pond. This shit's too much for me lol
To be honest I'm not a big fan of how quickly the game changes from logic puzzles to "figure out how to move these blocks" puzzles.
"Assembly Team" on the Island level is pretty much just a matter of moving two things in the right way (I've got no fucking clue which way). That's not very fun to me because it just feels like a case of trying random shit until you win.

But that's always the core of Sokoban-style puzzle games. From what I played, figuring how to make something happen (the logic and rules) and making something happen (the spatial) are pretty closely intertwined
That's not really what the game advertised itself as, though. I bought it thinking that it would be a collection of logic puzzles with clever code logic; instead I'm just trying to figure out which specific sets of movements make one robot go next to the other one. In many of the recent puzzles it seems like the "x is you" part is playing second-fiddle to spatial awareness stuff and that's really not what I expected at all.
Baba Is GOAT
No seriously, this game is a gem. At times it reminds a lot of programming language and i totally see the dev making the game with this mindset, i mean you literally manipulate the arguments of a function/the content of a variable in some way to find the solution

Crap, I think this is gonna be a rough go for me. I'm stuck on Grass Yard, #7 on the first gd map. Feel like I must be missing something extraordinarily obvious and it has to do with starting off with Flag Is You but beyond that I'm stumped. I may be too dumb for this game.
Edit seconds later: And I just figured it out. Still might be too dumb for this game given how obvious the solution was.

Yeah, I've hit a major roadblock and I'm not even 2 hours in. I can't find a solution to either Tiny Pond nor Assembly Team (Island Level 6/7 respectively) and any time I think "this works!" the game says "fuck no lol you idiot"
I'd be lying if I said this was fun

you can walk through the wall as it's not marked as stop
also you can make a "cross" with Baba is you horizontally and Flag is win vertically using the same is at the center. This thing is going to be very useful in future levels and I always hate myself for never having it coming to mind asap lol

Hahah I immediately solved another level with it--
Lake-3
Update: The game is now available on the EU eShop, and will be available at 6 PM PDT on the US eShop due to a blunder on my part. My sincere apologies.
On the first level of the Forest world and, yeah, this is not what I expected at all.
I can see the good design there but I simply didn't buy this game expecting it to be so heavily focused around moving a tiny selection of things around in a very specific order; it seems that in many levels the advertised 'coding' feature of the game barely even comes into it.
This is probably just me being angry that I'm stupid or something but I can't help but feel that I've been sold something different to what the trailers said I'd buy.

Im surprise that a puzzle game get so much attention on ERA. Not that it shouldn't but usually only bigger game with marketing got recognised like witness, wargroove, baba just came out od nowhere today and thread already 7 pages
And I'm already hopelessly stuck, lol. I finished 7 levels. Me not smart.
Edit: Me is not smart. After being stuck on that first lake level forever, I found the solution. Sigh. And then proceeded to plow through several more. I'm now up to 20 levels beat!

oh
my
god
I'm an idiot
I've been on this puzzle for ages, I would've never thought of that
fuck this game is both wonderful and amazingly frustrating, I think I need to take a break
I think it's time to call it a night. 1:50 elapsed so far, and 33 puzzles down; I've just been playing things in order and hitting the Extras as I go (So two Extras down in Lake, three down in Island). Yeah, liking it, although I was starting to feel a little repetitive towards the end - that may just have been tiredness kicking in, mind.
Played for a bit, maybe 20ish levels. Liking it so far, but it's bedtime for me.
Baba is tomorrow.
Baba is tomorrow.
The interesting thing is that my answer for the Extra that unlocks after Tiny Pond is so similar to my answer for Tiny Pond that I think I may have missed an easier solution to Tiny Pond. Way back when I hinted for The Witness I did gradual hints indicating my train of thought to try to help people pick up on *how* to think about these puzzles, so here's roughly what I worked through for this:
Hint 1: Isolating the problem
You've probably cottoned on early on that you need to get the WIN out, and you can't do that unless you remove a block of water. The water is SHUT and Baba is OPEN, so you can do it that way... but that would kill Baba
Hint 2: Further thoughts
There's no PUSH in this level; the only way to manipulate any object is through making it YOU.
Hint 3: Getting specific with the problem.
So you need to march an object you control into the water. Which will kill that object.
Hint 4: Logical conclusion
There must be a way to do that without it being a fail state
Hint 5: Inspiration (and this is where things get solutiony)
If *two* things are YOU, killing one doesn't fail things
Hint 6: Further wrinkle
Careful, now. You need these multiple things to be both YOU and OPEN, otherwise they don't have the necessary functionality. You can't do KEY AND FLAG IS YOU.
Hint 7: Next revelation
But what if they aren't two *different* things?
Hint 8: Actual solution (at least to the first bit, although the second bit is pretty trivial:
KEY IS FLAG
FLAG IS YOU AND OPEN
(destroy appropriate water tile with one of the flags)
FLAG IS YOU AND OPEN
(destroy appropriate water tile with one of the flags)

Some puzzles have multiple solutions, but it's not completely open-ended like a Zachlike.
I recognize a lot of posters in this thread from Nintendo Era. Switch users most likely know this game from the indie highlight last year. There are also enthusiastic members like Epilexia who keeps gushing the game in the eShop thread before launch. :D
Thanks for the hints! That's definitely the direction I was going and, damn, it definitely does feel a lot easier in retrospect. Frankly if there was less of a focus on spatial awareness stuff and precise movement I'd be enjoying this game a lot more because I do love the 'programming' aspect to it.
I'm currently stuck on the first levels for fall (Hop) and the second level for Temple Ruins (Tunnel Vision); I'll try figure them out myself, though! If not do you mind if a send you a PM or something?
EDIT: Got Tunnel Vision!
"Rock Has Rock" makes perfect sense but damn did it take me a while to figure that out.
I'm leaving it be for tonight so I won't be getting any further; Island Extra 3 was the last I finished. I might be asking you for help in due course depending on how the following levels go!
tfw i know exactly how to beat sunken temple but can't wrap my head around how to get everything in place to do it
Baba is Push.
Great hint! Just enough to keep me confident enough to experiment my way through to a solution.
This game! :D
Baba is Here and fucking hard. Holy shit. I expected challenge but this game is next level. My boyfriend and I have gotten stuck on a couple puzzles for upwards of thirty minutes already and the game only dropped two and a half hours ago. Hopefully a fresh day with refreshed minds will help.
It's definitely one of those games where you put in down in frustration at a particular puzzle, go and start washing the dishes and then as soon as you free your mind, inspiration hits and you go back and solve it instantly.
Another game that benefits massively from the Switch's instant wake up.
I'm stuck there now. Do you have to
push baba or the rock into the flag area? I cant figure out how to maneuver or that way but it seems right
Really enjoying Baba is You so far. Cleared 23 puzzles. Though 2 puzzles are really bothering me and its Wireless Connection and Poems. Can someone give me a hint on how to prevent the robot from moving the You part of my sentence around? Also any hint for Poems would be nice since I'm just getting stuck on that one.
