I'm late in the game so I can get the three stars in the different mission, got them on a few of them, only showing a single star on top of the flags. But now I'm starting to get two stars on top of some of the flags, I don't understand why
If I downloaded the game during the release sale do I just download it again from the link itch.io puts at the top of this page to get the new version or do I need to pay in order to update it?
Just beat the game, and it said that the concept art was unlocked. Where can I find it? I don't see it in the main menu nor in the level selection screen. Thanks for the great side game btw!
Before version 1.1.1, Windy Reef (with or without extra objective) could be acctually completed (only the team challenge couldn't be completed). It's harder and I suggest everyone have a try.
A lovely little game! The story is cute (I love Baba's babbling) and the puzzles are a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing through the main content and am now chipping away at the extra challenges.
That said, I do have a few critiques I wanted to share:
First and foremost, there's no hotkeys whatsoever. Using the mouse for everything, moving my cursor over the same spot 3 times per unit sometimes, I realized how fluid Into the Breach plays with its keybinds. Having buttons to select units and abilities would be amazing.
Having infinite turn resets is great and makes it really confusing that you can't undo units' abilities like you can their movement. Needing to redo your entire turn after misclicking an ability gets really annoying.
The setting for extra turns is a nice touch, I just wish changing it would take effect during the prep phase. Right now you have to restart the level even if you haven't actually started it.
Extremely valid feedback! The reason the undo is so limited is because I wanted to avoid having to keep track object existence - if you intentionally walked a mech into a pool of water, the game would need to be able to recreate the mech object on undo, and while not very difficult to implement, I was in a bit of a hurry at the time and thus opted for a simpler-but-less-useful undo. Apologies about that.
I guess I could implement the suggested feature for the extra turns in a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!
Do the team challenges unlock after getting the first extra star in every level?
I have beaten every level normally and started on getting the extra star but I have two stars on the first level and am not sure how I did it.
Love the game. I just downloaded the 1.1.1 version this morning only after finally figuring out how to beat Windy reef last night after trying for a few hours.
I could be wrong but for the team star you have to complete the stage without using any units from the last time you won, as can be seen on the mission screen.
Ex if a mission had baba and bird, you can't use either of them and have to figure out a way to still win, either on the normal version or the extra mission, both work for this star.
Some mission are really tricky and you need to use enemies pathing to clear them, ex without bird or me to destroy blocks, if an enemy can do so you need to position them with other mechs to indirectly destroy blocks.
You merged my favourite puzzle game with my favourite turn-based strategy tactical game. I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Thank you very much!
If I can give a suggestion for an improvement, it would be useful to have an in-game status of all mechs and the actions they performed. Before passing, one now has to hover on each mech to check if they have moves still available. Into the Breach deals with this with a status icon of each mech on the left side if I remember correctly.
glad it was free for a day so that i could hear about it 4 days later and not buy it because i know it was free for a 24hr period. Very predatory advertising scheme to hand out a title for free for 24hrs only to rescind it after people know it exists.
If you down voted let me point out this is a drm free game. Changing the price after release does nothing except promote piracy
Offering a game for free for a few days to build interest isn't predatory. Sales are not inherently predatory. The act of building hype is not inherently predatory. Predatory practices would be trying to trick the people who already have it to give them more money, or slipping hidden costs into the game that aren't obvious up front.
Not to mention it's only $4 now, which is still pretty close to free, really. I thought Baba is You was creative enough I'm happy to give this studio $4 to see their take on Into the Breach.
This doesn't promote piracy. It only promotes piracy if you think that it's cool to steal a $4 game from an independent artist. Piracy should be about people getting it who either could not otherwise afford it, or about people frankly just objecting to predatory practises like streaming services' locking everything down to an overpriced cable-like subscription.
If you want to steal, go ahead, this isn't predatory and it's standard marketing.
My display resolution is 3840x2160. I should have a very big window that is 3840x2160 or a very small window that isn't adjustable to play... This is painful.
ejofi said earlier, and this worked for me even though i am using proton to run it:
You can edit resolution multiplier manually in \AppData\Roaming\MSB\save.txt
I use xres=4 and yres=4. I think default multiplier was 2.
for future linux users looking for the file it should be in a really long steam app id in your home dir's .local steam (im on ubuntu) if you set it up as an app through steam (you should it makes the proton process and management process easy)
For other future Linux users: KDE lets you "Configure special window settings" by right clicking on the title bar, and you can set a new maximum resolution that way.
Works well under Linux when launched via Lutris. It was tiny so I went into settings and activated fullscreen which made it larger (but not fullscreen), however it’s well large enough to play now and it’s a very enjoyable game
according to user @Baranik, they fixed this when they did it by editing the xres and yres value in save.txt. i haven't tried it myself, but hopefully that helps? it looks like other people have done it too, i think 4 is the generally agreed upon value to switch it to
Go to windows security and under Virus and Threat Protection click manage settings and add an exception for the folder where you keep the game (so that you can update it and keep it whitelisted)
The game was made using an old program that handles files in a way Windows finds suspicious. I'm in the process of trying to migrate the game to a newer program that hopefully has less of a problem with this! Apologies for the problems.
It downloaded fine, got over the Windows defendor issue quite easily. loaded it up and its the size of a phone screen and very loud. I could barely read the instructions. Is there an option to make it visible/usable?

Hi! I'll get it downloaded, then try to launch it from itch.io, then get "cannot create subdirectory in temporary directory !" Is this the Windows Defender bug that people keep talking about?
I can confirm the issue that Windows Defender detects virus and deletes downloaded zip file every time. I like Baba Is You very much and I'd like to play Mobile Suit Baba so please check the issue and fix it. Thanks and greetz!
I built the sentence "CITY IS HILL" in level 20 and then there were no cities on the map, but didn't accomplish the task. I'm wondering if this is a feature or a bug.

IM TOO LATE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm late in the game so I can get the three stars in the different mission, got them on a few of them, only showing a single star on top of the flags. But now I'm starting to get two stars on top of some of the flags, I don't understand why
I have similar issue.
- First star is for beating regular mission.
- Second for beating the same mission with completely different squad.
- Third for beating it with extra objective.
I've beaten both versions of level 4 with various squad combinations and still only got 2 stars (or 1 star above flag as you describe it).If I downloaded the game during the release sale do I just download it again from the link itch.io puts at the top of this page to get the new version or do I need to pay in order to update it?
Same issue here, maybe it's misconfigured?
Hi there! I am willing to translate this game into Spanish, if you'd like :)
Just beat the game, and it said that the concept art was unlocked. Where can I find it? I don't see it in the main menu nor in the level selection screen. Thanks for the great side game btw!
Sorry, I was in a hurry implementing that feature - the concept art images can be found in the game folder as PNG files.
Completed the story but start to think the real difficulty just begin, lol
need a better undo/reset system, sometime when u missed 1 thing you must reset the full level which is annoying for me (idk that intend or not)
btw can't mevil just delete all [fruit is fruit] and make [fruit is nothing] and then delete all fruit word?
I guess Mevil didn't think their evil plan all the way through...!
imagine MSB chapter 2 - the fight of the word (and enemy can do something with word to stop the player lol)

Mac port would be great so my game design student can play it :)

A perfect game! It's really cool to play. I'd recommend the game, it's very engaging. Congratulations to the developer!

why doesn't ahym just buy the game instead of whining about how the game was free in the past? are they stupid or something?
Thank you Hempuli for this game!
You should consider making a Baba cuddly toy?
Thank you!

lol idiot skull enemy deleted the defeat word by using the power of enemy is defeat, and now the power is deleted and then all fruit is safe
Yet another outstanding game from Hempuli that makes you feel like a total dense.
Works well under Linux when launched via Lutris. It was tiny so I went into settings and activated fullscreen which made it larger (but not fullscreen), however it’s well large enough to play now and it’s a very enjoyable game
Thank you very much! Shame that the resolution doesn't work properly, though.

BUG REPORT:
Since i started playing the level 18.new dangers, all the enemies are replaced with baba. It doesn't change anything if i re-open the game.
baba is all
Hmm... Try redownloading the game? (It won't delete your save)
can someone actually explain how to get around Windows Security so I can download this thing?
Go to windows security and under Virus and Threat Protection click manage settings and add an exception for the folder where you keep the game (so that you can update it and keep it whitelisted)
awesome, thank you!
I don't know about downloading, but I usually just click more info and then a button appears that lets you bypass the secerity.
Never have I wanted a virus so bad, Into the Baba can't even get onto the exclusion list on win defender LOL
That's a bummer :( I'm trying to resolve it
Why does windows think this is a severe virus?
some normal function that virus uses frequently will be counted as suspect malware by Windows defender，but this game is absolutely not a virus
The game was made using an old program that handles files in a way Windows finds suspicious. I'm in the process of trying to migrate the game to a newer program that hopefully has less of a problem with this! Apologies for the problems.

Try alt-enter to fullscreen
萌新！该如何领取游戏？求教
点download or claim然后点No thanks, just take me to the downloads
Simply incredible, at least after I've added an exclusion to Windows Defender to ignore the folder this game is in (stupid defender).
I can't even download it to put it in a folder. How did you get around that?
Just ignore all warnings and afterwards put it in a folder you've excluded Windows Defender from scanning.
I believe you can skip levels with me for example breaking "fruit is weak"
Oh that's probably why you cant use Me for long
lore-wise me was also captured by enemy mid-game
whole virus detected thing preventing me from downloading. HELP!!

The 'Restart' button doesn't work sometimes, everyone(or someone) just sticks at the position.
Hi! I'll get it downloaded, then try to launch it from itch.io, then get "cannot create subdirectory in temporary directory !" Is this the Windows Defender bug that people keep talking about?
I had to disable the "itch.io sandbox" (in the itch app settings) to fix this.
Mine's already turned off.
Merry X-Mas and Happy New Year 2024! <3 :)
Same to you!
the idea of combining into the breach and baba is you is great！l like it，but will it have any further update？
Probably not much; I'll want to fix some issues people are having with bugs and such but I don't think I'll add more content.
well,that's enough,and its quite fun to see some non AAA game has gigs of bytes in size while not as joyable as yours.
plus its not too hard to make your own modded levels
Windows Security keep deleting the application.
I can confirm the issue that Windows Defender detects virus and deletes downloaded zip file every time. I like Baba Is You very much and I'd like to play Mobile Suit Baba so please check the issue and fix it. Thanks and greetz!
That's a bummer :( Windows Defender has had a tendency of false-alarming on my games. I sent a ticket about it to Microsoft but nothing happened.
Still can't download T_T
Please keep us informed.
Doesn't work with Intel Arc. Whole window/screen blinks blue.
-Baba Is You from Steam does work without this issue.
-Baba Is You (Jam Build) flickers similar to this
Maybe they use different export settings?
FIXED!
You need to lauch the game with /DIB8
From command prompt:
./Mobile Suit Baba.exe /DIB8
Or make a shortcut and add /DIB8 at end of target field.
Nice, thank you!
It does run and is playable, but the tiles do look a bit odd, and there are no black outlines
Oh that's wacky, huh. I'll try to do a thing that *might* help.
did it work?
Lamentablemente mi pc lo detectó como virus.
That's unfortunately an issue on some computers :/ it's a false positive.
What a grand, fun, cute but quite heady and difficult adventure!
I cleared the story mode in 3 hours, but there is so much more to do that I can't wait to accomplish in the future.
Baba is the cutest, especially when he talks Babababa!
If I had to say something, I would have liked to have spent longer looking at the cute friends in the ending art scene.
Anyway, this piece is going to be very memorable!
Thank you very much for the writeup!
Great dialogue, great gameplay, a solid Baba/10
I built the sentence "CITY IS HILL" in level 20 and then there were no cities on the map, but didn't accomplish the task. I'm wondering if this is a feature or a bug.
Love this game btw
For the "Visit every X" objective, you need at least one X on the map.
how do i fix these false positives
Technically Microsoft has a way to report them, I tried doing that but nothing happened :(
painful.
At first couldn't understand how to get the team star.
So in case other people have trouble with it, seems you need to not use any of the mission specific mechs.
Ex if it has blob and baba for the normal mission, you can't use them for the team star instead can use worm/bird or any of the other combinations.
Hope this helps someone else :)
Quite fun game as well thanks :D
