For Depths: you do in fact need to create "Flag is Level". Is there another way you can see of doing that?
For A Way Out?: you need to use every word. First, try to construct Rock is Push.

Hm. As for Depths, pretty sure there isn't a way to do that, since the words I need are stuck in different places and are separated by tight tunnels with corners, but I guess I'll try more...
And drat, I was REALLY hoping that wouldn't be the first step for A Way Out. Tried that for like an hour, was really hoping I was overlooking something else

This game is breaking my brain over and over and it's so amazing. I think I just scammed the ABC world, or at least never bothered to solve it the expected way, 'cause I just finished Stardrop and Meteor Strike with basically the same solution.

I just made a sentence of Belt Is Star Is Flag, completing it with Belt and ending up one tile away from a belt so I could immediately jump to it before Me broke up Flag is Win. You only have to orient it differently on Meteor Strike. Is this the expected solution for either of these levels? It involves ignoring a bunch of stuff that I guess could all be red herrings.

Are you playing on switch? That sounds like an old version of the puzzle. The legitimate solution should not allow Me to move at all.

Ah yeah, I see that's been patched. TBH part of the beauty of this game is that a few unintended solutions don't actually harm the overall experience, it just makes me feel like I was kinda clever.

It seems the @babaisyou_ account has been musing about the properties of objects that don't exist, sparking interest from players and irritation from philosophy graduates.

The thing about EMPTY is that it is not an object, but the spaces where objects can be. Therefore, applying properties to EMPTY is weird, because those properties become abstract and transient. You need to think very carefully about what properties actually fundamentally mechanically do to get your head around how they affect EMPTY.

With PUSH, objects will move in response to being moved into, unless they are moving towards something which has STOP, in which case they will behave like STOP does (I suspect that PUSH is the most conceptually complicated effect in the game, though probably not the one with the most code. Be fascinated to learn more about what's going on under the hood there, but I digress). When you have EMPTY IS PUSH, every blank space between you and the next object in that direction will have that PUSH property, and can chain it, even though there's nothing actually there to push. If you push a line of EMPTY towards something with STOP, you won't be able to move, because the whole line of EMPTY will behave like STOP. If you push them towards an object you can move across, you will find that you can move towards that object as though moving normally, and if a second object, with PUSH, is between you and the first object that second object will be pushed as you move until it overlaps the first. This is because the EMPTYs are being pushed towards it, but they don't get stuck, because they're EMPTY and when they overlap other objects the result is nothing.

Okay, thanks. What really trips me up is how adding properties to empty means that it behaves differently to other objects with no properties. It removes my frame of reference.

It and level both behave pretty inconsistently at times compared to "normal" objects

My experience is that it works the same as other objects, with the exception that it will be destroyed if it moves into/onto anything else. It also effectively respawns. ...I wonder what happens if Empty is Move? Could it push objects? If so, what direction is an empty space pointing?

Welp, Meta-12 broke me. So far Crushers and Booby Trap have probably thrown me for the greatest loops at the time I encountered them, but this drat level just made me throw in the towel on going without looking up solutions. Did anyone else find it drastically harder than other stuff?

Yeah I found it incredibly difficult as well.

Oh WOW, yeah, the first solution I looked up was incredibly convoluted and involved both Keke and Baba.

The second one makes a ton more sense, and mostly relies on being able to break up Baba is Float after using it since the text won't defeat you while you're floating. That I can at least appreciate as a fairly straightforward mechanic that I failed to think of.
