Maybe I'm overthinking it, or missing something obvious, but I am really, really stuck on Chasm C - Elusive Condition. It seems like it plays out like a sliding tile puzzle where I have no way of telling if I have too many or too few pieces, or if they're in the right starting position. I have no idea how the gently caress I'm supposed to do this. Is there more to it than just scooting ALL IS or HAND IS over to WIN with the screen mostly full of hands? I feel like there has to be something I can do with EMPTY besides commit suicide.

Here’s something you already know, but probably isn’t at the forefront of your mind: When two rules contradict each other, the older one takes precedence.

Aha, thanks, got it. Didn't think HAND IS HAND would have overridden ALL IS EMPTY.

I apparently have this thing where I hate certain types of puzzles so much that if I see something that could be that type of puzzle, it MUST be that type of puzzle and I hate it and it's impossible.

Probably eventually! Since I'm the only person responsible for arranging this stuff, I decided not to add workload by considering merchandise before or immediately after release. I've been getting more into that now that the initial more stressful release phase has ended.

How Hand Is Hand works

To clarify this a bit - there're never situations where the order in which the rules were formed would affect the outcome, time- or alphabet-wise. Stating X Is X always overrides other rules of similar nature, and stating X Is Not Y always overrides the statement X Is Y. I guess you could say that prohibitive rules take precedence over non-prohibitive rules.

You might want to just come back to this one later.

Are you sure?
Look again. Is there a normal level which still has the thick "not solved" border around it? Or a transformed level that doesn't have its "solved" border?
Answer: You need to WIN Depths.

1 & 2: I adored these levels, but it would have been hilarious if you could use the letters to generate objects or conditions that don't otherwise exist in the game. MOLE, VOLE, COW, etc. Also, I'm calling it now—there's going to be another similar level that says "VELLCOME" and you need to spell LEVEL in order to get Baba on the map.

Nope, it’s actually quite straightforward. Here are a few hints.

Take a moment to consider the rule. BABA FACING WALL IS EMPTY means that when baba is in a space adjacent to a wall, and pointing in the direction of that wall, then baba becomes empty. So, consider the ramifications of that.

If you need a more specific hint, note that baba can only be “facing” a wall if baba is directly adjacent to the wall. If baba is not directly adjacent to the wall, then baba is not facing the wall.

So as long as baba is not 1 block away from the wall, there is no problem. Baba could be 3 blocks away, or 2...

...or zero.

Priority Lane is going to kill me.

e: Made progress. I think that if I can push the upwards belt up, I can set it to SHIFT and PUSH to move the water on top of the skull rule. I can also get on top/behind the belt without it losing SHIFT, but I can't figure out how to make it PUSH once I'm on the other side. Plus, this idea will only work if SINK, SHIFT, and PUSH all interact the way I want them to.

You're way overthinking it.

Can someone explain what's going on in Relaxing Spot?

Does TEXT ON ROCK IS KEKE, with the rock on one of the first two words, create 2 Kekes or one? Because using what I thought were 2 overlapping Kekes, both get destroyed by the first water trap.

So either only one Keke is generated, or water destroys both? I went "huh?" when I looked up the proper solution until I realised TEXT IS FLOAT is in play.

It makes one Keke, turning the text into ROCK IS KEKE, which will make a second Keke the next turn. I think pushing the stack of two Kekes into water will kill both, though?

SINK destroys every object being pushed into it, then removes the object that is SINK. SHUT will only consume one overlapped OPEN object.

Hmm, I wonder what happens if you push more than one type of overlapped OPEN object into a SHUT? Does it consume a random one, or is there a stack order? Or an object type priority?(that would be worse than random priority imo)

Random one; Sink used to only destroy one object but it was changed precisely to avoid arbitrary priority. With Shut & Open, the idea of a stack of keys all being used when opening a single door felt too unpleasant so I kept the in-other-ways unpleasant arbitrary priority potential.

Regarding relaxing spot: I'm not super happy that Text On Rock Is Keke essentially creates a double-conversion, first with On -> Keke and then with Rock -> Keke, and I actually tried to prevent this from happening during development. For reasons this ended up creating more problems than it would've solved so nevermind. I guess it kind of makes sense as it is now.

I solved the relevant puzzle anyway but why isn't "X On Y IS Win" an automatic win when X goes onto Y? It only is if Z is You as well, which I wouldn't think would be relevant.

Also I had some friends over and blew their minds with Baba Is You And Empty Is Baba then blew them again when I just made Empty Is You

X IS WIN means that when an object that is you occupies the same space as X, then the level is completed. X ON Y IS (PROPERTY) means that X has a given property, but only when it is occupying the same space as Y. Therefore, X ON Y IS WIN means that as long as X is occupying the same space as Y, then if an object which is you is also occupying that space, the level is completed. In simpler terms, X and Y in the same spot is the finish line, but you still have to cross it.

Beaten, but I hope this thorough explanation helped you understand.
