I tried playing the puzzle game 'Mobile Suit Baba' which is being distributed for free for a limited time.



Arvi Teikari, a Finnish indie game developer known for the puzzle game '

Baba Is You, ' is distributing his new puzzle game ' Mobile Suit Baba ' for free on the indie game sales site itch.io, so give it a try! I tried to.



The following is the URL that was accessed above. The release page states that the game is inspired by Subset Games' Into the Breach, which is famous for its spaceship simulation roguelike game FTL: Faster Than Light .



Click 'Download Now' to download the game.



You will then be informed that it is free until December 28, 2023 (Thursday), and that you can pay any amount to the author as support. This time I clicked 'No thanks, just take me to the downloads'.



Next, click the button surrounded by a red frame.



A compressed file called 'Mobile Suit Baba.zip' will be downloaded, so use decompression software such as Explzh to extract it.



Double-click the executable file called 'Mobile Suit Baba.exe' to start the game.



So, the following video is actually about 10 minutes of playing.

Click START to start the game.



Click on the empty save slot circled in red.



The map is displayed, so click on the first stage in the lower left, then click 'START' in the upper right.



The stage starts with 'START MISSION'.



Then, the mission started after the conversation scene. The goal of this stage, which is the goal of this stage, is displayed in the upper left corner, which says 'Head to the city with a mecha,' so click on the red 'Keke Mech' even though it doesn't look like a mecha.



Then, the range in which this mecha can be moved is displayed, so click the destination.



moved.



I also moved the white 'Baba Mech' in the same way. Baba Mech has a bit more mobility, so it can reach the city in one breath.



After all two mechas have been activated, press 'PASS' in the upper right corner to end the turn. The remaining time limit is now 4 turns.



Visit all towns and complete the mission in the same way.



Let's move on to the next stage.



A large river crosses the stage. I will try crossing the river with a red mecha.



I fell into the river with a thud.



Since it failed, I will try again by clicking 'Restart', which is surrounded by a red frame.



Let's consider another method. Each mech has a unique action, so I decided to have the red mech stand in front of the white mech and then use the action of the white mech to throw the target away.



Specify the red mecha as the target and click the destination.



Successfully crossed the river.



Afterwards, we split up and visited towns on both banks to clear the stage.



After that, we continued to solve puzzles using mechanisms that can use various actions.



'Mobile Suit Baba' is a puzzle game that can be played without installation, and the operation is light, so you can progress smoothly while restarting the game repeatedly. Thanks to this, the game has become a game where you can challenge challenging puzzles through trial and error. There are a total of 43 missions, and the list price is $ 4 (about 568 yen), which is a volume that you can't imagine for a game that can be obtained for free during the distribution period.
