In March 2019, Arvi "Hempuli" Teikari released a puzzle game called Baba Is You for PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch. It's a game where you solve puzzles by pushing tiles around, some of which change the rules of the game and the properties of objects.
I loved the concept, and I loved the game, but somehow instead of having the itch to play it, I got the itch to run it on 8-bit hardware.
I got farther than I expected, though this isn't a complete game yet.
This is a cc65 port of my c64 BASIC demake of Baba Is You, which I've published elsewhere on github.
I worked on this mostly in late 2020, early 2021, because the BASIC version was just too slow. Compiling it with BasicBOSS made it playable, but editing it in BASIC was starting to become cumbersome. I needed to be able to expand its rule set, and maybe introduce custom graphics and better animation eventually.
So I have this version, which is about up to the point that the BASIC version is at, minus the level editor. There is even a branch that uses 2x2 tiles that look more like the original game.
