Fun fact for the fans of the “Baba Is You” game[1]:

> the naming of the characters Baba and Keke was inspired by the bouba/kiki effect.

Which makes a lot of sense for a game where meaning itself is one of the core gameplay elements. If you didn’t play that title yet and you enjoy puzzle games, try it.

'Baba is you' is one of the greatest puzzle games ever. The sheer amount of levels and variations is just staggering, although I must say that it absolutely does become quite frustrating at the end, and you can see from achievements that very few people actually stick with the game. While 8% have technically "beaten" it on Steam, you can get that achievement quite early. I have given up after about 60 hours with the game, because it simply stopped being fun, but I still recommend this gem to anyone, just don't be a completionist...

EDIT: Just looked up at 'time to beat' that completionist average is 48h and now I feel very stupid... I find that kind of hard to believe, there were some levels I literally spend 2 hours on, and the full game has over 200 levels... (and I would guess at least 10% of those are very hard).

I'm in the later part of the game and I feel really stupid. Some levels are so small I feel like I can understand all possible strategies but none work. Lovely game overall though, highly recommend!
