'''Baba Is You''' ist ein [[Puzzle]]-[[Computerspiel|Videospiel]]. Im Mittelpunkt des Spiels steht die Manipulation von „Regeln“, die im Spielbereich durch bewegliche Kacheln mit darauf geschriebenen Wörtern dargestellt werden, um es dem Spielercharakter, normalerweise dem titelgebenden Baba, zu ermöglichen, ein bestimmtes Ziel zu erreichen.


== Spielprinzip ==
'''''Baba Is You''''' is a [[puzzle video game]] created by [[Finland|Finnish]] [[Indie game development|independent developer]] Arvi Teikari (known professionally as Hempuli). Originating as a short demo built for the 2017 [[Nordic Game Jam]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://igf.com/baba-you|title=Baba is You|date=12 October 2017}}</ref> the game was expanded and released on 13 March 2019 for [[personal computer|PC]] and [[Nintendo Switch]]. Mobile versions were released in June 2021. The game centers around the manipulation of "rules"—represented in the play area by movable tiles with words written on them—in order to allow the [[player character]], usually the titular Baba, to reach a specified goal. A free update titled "Baba Make Level" was released on November 17, 2021, featuring over 150 new and previously unused levels and a level editor with online sharing.
In jedem [[Level (Spielabschnitt)|Level]] wird dem Spieler ein Ein-Bildschirm-Puzzle präsentiert, das aus verschiedenen Objekten, Charakteren und beweglichen Wortkacheln besteht. Der Spieler erhält die Kontrolle über einen oder mehrere Charaktere oder Objekte auf dem Bildschirm. Zum Beispiel kann das Ziel geändert werden, indem „IS“- und „WIN“-Blöcke verschoben werden, um sie auf ein anderes Objekt anzuwenden, und der Spieler kann durch Objekte hindurchgehen, indem er die „STOP“-Eigenschaft von ihnen entfernt. Der Spieler schließt ein Level ab, wenn ein Objekt, das Gegenstand einer „IS-YOU“-Regel ist, irgendein Objekt berührt, das Gegenstand einer „IS-WIN“-Regel ist.


Das Spiel enthält über 200 Level.<ref>{{Internetquelle |autor=Chris Plante |url=https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2019/3/13/18263824/baba-is-you-review-nintendo-switch-pc |titel=Baba Is You review: one of the best puzzle games in years |werk=[[Polygon (Website)|Polygon]] |datum=2019-03-13 |sprache=en-US |abruf=2023-01-04}}</ref>
== Gameplay ==
[[File:Baba is you gameplay.gif|thumb|left|Baba (the white sheep-like creature)<ref>{{cite web | url = https://wireframe.raspberrypi.org/articles/pushing-boundaries-with-baba-is-you | title = Pushing boundaries with Baba is You | first = Ryan | last = Lambie | date = March 7, 2019 | accessdate = June 7, 2020 | work = Wireframe | quote = As far as the game's concerned, Baba is a cutesy sheep/cat/goat/dog who just happened to be settled with 'Youness' or a consciousness of sorts. In the jam version Baba was intended to be a robot with antennae, but a colleague, Jason Boyer, made some really sweet fanart of Baba, interpreting them as a humanoid goat creature (with the antennae becoming horns), and I decided to change Baba's looks more to that direction as I updated the sprites. | archive-date = 8 June 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200608034207/https://wireframe.raspberrypi.org/articles/pushing-boundaries-with-baba-is-you | url-status = live}}</ref> is made the [[player character]] by the phrase "BABA IS YOU". The three blocks reading "WALL IS STOP" create a rule that prevents Baba from crossing wall tiles. Once the rule blocks are separated, the rule is no longer enforced, and Baba can pass through walls.|alt=The player character, Baba, is enclosed in all directions by walls. Outside of this enclosure is the phrase "BABA IS YOU", and inside the enclosure is the phrase "WALL IS STOP". Baba moves around, and attempts to walk past a wall, but fails. Then, Baba breaks the "WALL IS STOP" phrase, and is able to walk past it.]]
In each level, the player is presented with a one-screen puzzle consisting of various objects, characters, and movable word tiles. The player is given control of one or more characters or objects on the screen (most often the player controls a character named Baba). The word tiles consist of [[noun]]s corresponding to specific types of objects and obstacles on the field (such as Baba itself, the goal flag, walls and hazards, and other creatures), [[verb]]s such as "IS" and "HAS", linking [[Operator (computer programming)|operators]] such as "AND" and "NOT", and descriptive tiles determining the properties of these objects (such as "YOU", which makes all instances of the object become controlled by the player; "PUSH" and "PULL" to make them movable; "STOP" to make them impassable; and "WIN" to specify the goal object). When three or more word tiles (minimally consisting of one object, one verb, and one property or object) are aligned vertically or horizontally into a valid [[syntax]], they create a rule that determines how the object behaves and that will be enforced until the string is broken up. For example, the goal can be changed by moving "IS" and "WIN" blocks to apply to another object, and the player can pass through objects by removing the "STOP" trait from them.<ref name=":0" /> Specific rules for a level can be placed in a way that the tiles cannot be broken up (for instance, by having the rule placed in a corner), committing that rule for the entire level.<ref name=":1" /> The player completes a level when an object that is the subject of an "IS YOU" rule (i.e. an active player-character) touches any object that is the subject of an "IS WIN" rule (i.e. an active goal). The game contains over 200 levels,<ref name=":0" /> with the player eventually having to manipulate rules around the map screen.


== Development and release ==
== Entwicklung ==
Arvi „Hempuli“ Teikari (Designer und Programmierer) schrieb auf [[Reddit]], dass die Benennung der Charaktere Baba und Keke vom [[Anmutung#Bouba und Kiki|Bouba/Kiki-Effekt]] inspiriert sei. Teikari erklärte 2017, dass er plane, das vollständige Spiel im Jahr 2018 zu veröffentlichen, und stellte eine Entwicklungsversion des Titels über [[itch.io]] zur Verfügung.
[[File:Arvi Teikari GDC IGF 2018.png|thumb|Arvi Teikari accepting his [[Independent Games Festival]] Award in 2018.|alt=Arvi Teikari speaking behind a podium. He is wearing a black shirt with many icons from the game, including a flag, a mushroom, the "BABA", "IS", and "WIN" operators, and Baba itself.]]
The theme of the 2017 [[Nordic Game Jam]] was "Not There", which prompted Teikari, a student at the [[University of Helsinki]] who had previously developed the [[Metroidvania]]-genre game ''[[Environmental Station Alpha]]'', to envision a game concept based on manipulating logic operators. He explained that levels were often created by brainstorming a "cool" or "amusing" solution, and then coming up with how the player would accomplish it. Teikari noted that "the most satisfying moments in puzzle games are those which present the player with simple but hard-to-wrap-your-head-around situations, so that solving the puzzle is about figuring out that ''one'' neat trick/twist".<ref name=":2" /> As with his previous projects, the game was developed using [[Multimedia Fusion]] 2, and a [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] scripting plugin; Teikari credited his friend Lukas Meller for help with the Lua implementations.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/314548/Road_to_the_IGF_Hempuli_Oys_Baba_Is_You.php|title=Road to the IGF: Hempuli Oy's Baba Is You|last=Couture|first=Joel|date=15 February 2018|website=Gamasutra|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180308163041/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/314548/Road_to_the_IGF_Hempuli_Oys_Baba_Is_You.php|archive-date=2018-03-08|url-status=live|access-date=2019-03-14}}</ref> Teikari wrote on Reddit that the naming of the characters Baba and Keke was inspired by the [[bouba/kiki effect]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ben6qj/hi_im_hempuli_the_developer_of_baba_is_you_ask_me/el71s4i/ |title='Hi, I'm Hempuli, the developer of Baba Is You.

''Baba Is You'' wurde am 13. März 2019 über [[Steam]] für Microsoft Windows, Linux und macOS sowie für Nintendo Switch veröffentlicht. Neben der Programmierung des Spiels komponierte Teikari auch den Soundtrack mit [[Open ModPlug Tracker|OpenMPT]]. Kurz vor der Veröffentlichung des [[Level-Editor]]-Updates veröffentlichte er die Musikprojektdateien über den offiziellen [[Twitter]]-Account von ''Baba Is You''.
Teikari stated in 2017 that he planned to release the full game in 2018, and placed a development version of the title for download at [[itch.io]]. After ''Baba Is You'' won at the Independent Games Festival in March 2018, a [[video game clone|clone]] of the game was released by a French publisher on the [[App Store]], using nearly the same graphics and calling itself the same name. Teikari worked with the French division of [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] to remove the offending app.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/316145/IGF_Awardwinning_Baba_Is_You_cloned_before_it_was_even_released.php | title = IGF Award-winning Baba Is You cloned before it was even released | first = Alex | last = Wawro | date = 2018-04-04 | access-date = 2019-03-16 | work = [[Gamasutra]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190421000239/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/316145/IGF_Awardwinning_Baba_Is_You_cloned_before_it_was_even_released.php | archive-date = 2019-04-21 | url-status = live}}</ref>

Die PC-Version hält bei [[Metacritic]] eine Durchschnittswertung von 87.<ref name="MC_WIN" />


Ein kritisierter Aspekt des Spiels ist sein Schwierigkeitsgrad. ''[[Game Informer]]'' äußerte sich unzufrieden mit der Überkomplikation, die sich aus der Zusammensetzung von Variablen in späteren Phasen des Spiels ergibt, was oft zu einem „anstrengenden und unbefriedigenden“ Gameplay führe.<ref name="GI" />
A cross-platform level editor, with online level sharing, was added to the game on November 17, 2021, as a free update for the personal computer and Switch versions. This update included 150 additional levels in two new level packs, and added various new rules, art, and soundtracks.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.pcgamer.com/baba-is-you-has-a-cross-platform-level-editor-coming/ | title = Baba is You has a cross-platform level editor coming | first = Jonathan | last = Bolding | date = November 17, 2019 | accessdate = November 17, 2019 | work = [[PC Gamer]] | archive-date = 17 November 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191117201445/https://www.pcgamer.com/baba-is-you-has-a-cross-platform-level-editor-coming/ | url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-11-12-level-editor-coming-to-baba-is-you-in-free-update | title = Level editor coming to Baba Is You in free update | first= Ed | last = Nightingale | date = November 12, 2021 | accessdate = November 12, 2021 | work = [[Eurogamer]]}}</ref>

Alongside programming the game, Teikari also composed the soundtrack using [[OpenMPT]]. Shortly before the release of the level editor update, he released the music project files via the official Baba Is You Twitter account.<ref>{{cite web |title=Baba is You Twitter |url=https://twitter.com/babaisyou_/status/1459308752251801604 |website=Twitter |access-date=19 November 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

Version vom 14. Januar 2023, 23:13 Uhr

Baba Is You ist ein Puzzle-Videospiel. Im Mittelpunkt des Spiels steht die Manipulation von „Regeln“, die im Spielbereich durch bewegliche Kacheln mit darauf geschriebenen Wörtern dargestellt werden, um es dem Spielercharakter, normalerweise dem titelgebenden Baba, zu ermöglichen, ein bestimmtes Ziel zu erreichen.

Spielprinzip

In jedem Level wird dem Spieler ein Ein-Bildschirm-Puzzle präsentiert, das aus verschiedenen Objekten, Charakteren und beweglichen Wortkacheln besteht. Der Spieler erhält die Kontrolle über einen oder mehrere Charaktere oder Objekte auf dem Bildschirm. Zum Beispiel kann das Ziel geändert werden, indem „IS“- und „WIN“-Blöcke verschoben werden, um sie auf ein anderes Objekt anzuwenden, und der Spieler kann durch Objekte hindurchgehen, indem er die „STOP“-Eigenschaft von ihnen entfernt. Der Spieler schließt ein Level ab, wenn ein Objekt, das Gegenstand einer „IS-YOU“-Regel ist, irgendein Objekt berührt, das Gegenstand einer „IS-WIN“-Regel ist.

Das Spiel enthält über 200 Level.[1]

Entwicklung

Arvi „Hempuli“ Teikari (Designer und Programmierer) schrieb auf Reddit, dass die Benennung der Charaktere Baba und Keke vom Bouba/Kiki-Effekt inspiriert sei. Teikari erklärte 2017, dass er plane, das vollständige Spiel im Jahr 2018 zu veröffentlichen, und stellte eine Entwicklungsversion des Titels über itch.io zur Verfügung.

Baba Is You wurde am 13. März 2019 über Steam für Microsoft Windows, Linux und macOS sowie für Nintendo Switch veröffentlicht. Neben der Programmierung des Spiels komponierte Teikari auch den Soundtrack mit OpenMPT. Kurz vor der Veröffentlichung des Level-Editor-Updates veröffentlichte er die Musikprojektdateien über den offiziellen Twitter-Account von Baba Is You.

Metawertungen
Metacritic84/100[9]87/100[10]

Die PC-Version hält bei Metacritic eine Durchschnittswertung von 87.[10]

Ein kritisierter Aspekt des Spiels ist sein Schwierigkeitsgrad. Game Informer äußerte sich unzufrieden mit der Überkomplikation, die sich aus der Zusammensetzung von Variablen in späteren Phasen des Spiels ergibt, was oft zu einem „anstrengenden und unbefriedigenden“ Gameplay führe.[3]

„Je tiefer man ins Spiel einsteigt, desto mehr »traut« man sich auch und experimentiert wild herum. Eine Spielzeitangabe ist bei Baba Is You schwierig.“

Markus Schwerdtel: GameStar[5]

PC Games lobte, dass die ersten Level ohne Tutorial in das clevere Spielkonzept einführen und zugleich schon mit tollen Ideen überraschen.[11] Sowohl PC Games als auch 4Players loben das innovative Spielkonzept.[2][11]

„Schon lange hat mich kein Puzzle-Spiel mehr zugleich so sehr gequält und begeistert.“

Viktor Eippert: PC Games[11]

Baba Is You wurde bei den Golden Joystick Awards 2019 als „Bestes Indie-Spiel“ nominiert.[12] Auf der Tokyo Game Show 2020 gewann das Spiel den „Game Designers Award“.[13]
