Definitely the most thought-provoking of the bunch!

yeah great take on the Baba concept, fun to puzzle out answers. Loved the fools victory

This reminds me of Baba is You, but with just words. Very clever puzzles that are satisfying to solve and get that "a-ha!" moment. The interface is very clunky, though. I found myself really wanting a way to reset the puzzle without having to go back to the level select screen.

This is not mentioned anywhere, but ctrl z/y can undo and redo your actions.

This is a neat idea and I managed to bang my way through the first couple of levels. This would really lend itself to a "magnetic poetry" style presentation with skeuomorphic tiles which would also help provide cues for picking up and moving certain items (like the quotation marks).

Oh yes definitely! Thank you for the idea. I’ll admit I struggled with time for visual presentation.

This is cool, a good amount of lateral thinking required for sure :D

An interesting idea but sometimes it’s hard to understand exactly what the solution is supposed to be. Sometimes I thought this must be the solution but it didn’t recognize the sentence.

This is kinda a cool idea, building source code puzzles in the style of Baba is You, but the presentation of the symbols is very messy.

Granted, my brain might be a bit fried after this jam, lol.
