Baba Is You
Image source: Steam store page
A puzzle game with over 200 levels in which the rules of each level are blocks on the board that you can push around.
How you code
Rules are sentences built from word blocks, such as BABA IS YOU or WALL IS STOP. Pushing the words into new sentences changes how the level works: you can turn yourself into a rock, walk through walls or change what counts as winning. It feels like editing a program, but you rearrange rules instead of writing code, which is why it is listed as borderline.
