Game Is Start
A downloadable levelpack
Game Is Start. A new story for Baba, and a new story for you. A birthday special featuring over 150 new objects and over 150 custom new words to shake things up, this levelpack offers a whole new experience that aims to reach the same level of quality as the main levelpacks in Baba Is You.
This levelpack is under construction, but the first three subworlds (66 levels) are available for playtesting. Additionally, the level editor is open to create new levels with, as well as complementary settings for creators (on the level select screen).
Many, many, many credits go to the members of the Baba Is You Discord community. The levelpack's code could not have been made possible without PlasmaFlare's documentation. Additionally, many credits to Extrem for letting me expand on their ABERRATE idea. Credits also go to Babaisyoo for playtesting and level feedback!
Anything can change in the final version including world maps, levels, sprites, word functions, as well as the addition of new words.
Should there be any bugs or possibly unintended problems you may experience, reach out and I shall squash them for you!
ANNOYING BUG: Refrain from transforming the GAME, as it disables undo; until it is fixed, try to reopen the pack if you accidentally do this.

All the signs have the same problem...
I think I found the problem; I probably forgot to revert this change, but essentially, in the (QW_CONSTANTS).lua file, there is an entry in QW_DEBUG called "guidetextstays". If you want to, you can manually set the first value to false until I get the next release out. Sorry about that 😅
I am confused as to how to beat Sewer-3: Overridden. Is there supposed to be a rule saying DOOR HAS BABA?
EDIT: I assumed that when you died the focus would break momentarily, making you able to face left again. Upon testing, this wasn't true. I have no idea what you're supposed to do in that level.
Check what happens to Baba's facing direction the first time you break BABA IS FOCUS.
The guide message color is black and I can't read it
Sorry for not replying sooner, but which guide sign are you referring to? Or are you referring to all guide signs in general?
there's an unintended solution i think on level 7. you can form "TEXT IS PHANTOM AND PUSH" and then push "YOU" onto "WIN" :P
Yay thanks for finding that :)
Am I supposed to not be able to undo?
That’s strange. When I first loaded the levelpack, the undo button was completely broken, but when I exited to the menu and loaded the levelpack again, it started working.
Ah, the bug was triggered by doing “game is flag” in the first level. Even after restarting the level, the undo button became completely broken
Apologies for that; this behavior was due to errors happening after trying to undo when GAME IS X is made, so I disable undoing in this instance.
Problem is, I have no idea why the undo is not restoring itself upon level restart. I will release a fixed version around mid-to-late January to fix it.
Sorry for any inconveniences. 😞
You accidentally left a bunch of .tmp files in
