Baba is You: all of the custom keywords i made so far

[@SpecialAPI]

oh btw i released the mod already, you can download the latest version using this link: github.com/SpecialAPI/SpecialAPIsWordsAndStuff/releases/latest edit: since a lot of people are asking about this, having an object be grow in a situation that would cause an infinite loop with GROW (example: BABA IS KEKE IS BABA while baba is grow) it instead just makes it grow into the last object in the chain. for example when baba is grow and BABA IS KEKE IS ME IS BABA, baba will cycle between BABA and ME. if BABA IS KEKE IS BABA while baba is grow, GROW will have no effect edit 2: I've decheesed "so close yet so far" since this video came out, stop commenting about it

I personally would have named "fake you" as either "remote" or "control". that still drives it home that you control it, but it's not YOU. Besides that, very cool.

[@unrellated]

It should be "remote". "Control" should mean that whenever something moves onto the same square as whatever is before the word, the thing after the word moves in the same direction.

Grow is conceptually neat, but I struggle to think of a functionally different puzzle to use it in. "Turning X to Z results in intermediate form Y which is bad, but can be skipped with the word that lets you do that specific thing" only gets you so far. I has a weird grammar gimmick that seems more useful for preventing unwanted solutions than creating new problems. The way a one-letter object interacs with letters is neat, though. The other words are interesting, but not in ways that give me much to say.

"i am" makes me think that object words that apply to specific words could theoretically pair really well with it. like, let's say you had the rules "you is float" "am is float" and "i is float", making those specific words float and unable to form rules with non-floating words.

No - make something disappear instantly (You + Defeat) FakeYou - You but cannot win or be defeated FacedBy - *death stare* Grow - Instant chain reaction Hold - stops you from moving I - uses its own pronoun (Am)

[@DemonXile]

Couple things. First: Cheesing the level with "HOLD". Solution? Skull Is Move. Yeah, defeat does NOT block text nor any push object. So, get cheesed. ANYWAYS this is me showing off an easy way to re-create these levels, and what the hidden text could be. NO: All feeling NO is Defeat and You. That simple. Fake You: All feeling Fake You is Group, All on Group is not Defeat and not Win. (This only works for one object however, but that doesn't matter in this case.) Grow: The trick is hidden text and Group. The "Vine" text is actually a "Group" text in this example. With 2 rules reading: "Group not feeling grow is vine" and "Group feeling grow is rose". Directional Fall: All feeling Directional Fall and facing (Up/Left/Down/Right) is (FallUp/FallLeft/Fall/FallRight). Note: FallDown isn't a thing, as it's set to only "Fall" as the normal name. Hold: All feeling Hold is Group. All on Group is Still. Again, this works if only 1 object can be Hold, but instead of all, you can use ex. baba and have (a) duplicate set(s) where it's Group2/Group3 instead of Group.

another idea: stops: place in position like eat or follow,makes the second object not be able to move into the first objcet/ the first object acts as stop to the second. BUT any other objects can move trough it if it isnt stops to it and its not stop. eample: lets make the rules: "WALL STOPS BABA" "BABA IS YOU" "WATER STOPS KEKE" "KEKE IS YOU2" now baba cant move into the walls,as if they were stop,but keke *can* move through it,same with swaping wall and water,and baba and keke (keke cant move into water,but baba can)
