I knew the “force high-contrast lines” forcing Too Complex in Baba is You was foreshadowing!
What? How does this work?
Yeah I saw that. When I saw what the speedrunner was doing I thought "How does this cause "Too Complex"?" but I find the technical explanation is a bit interesting. The game's "Infinte Loop" and "Too Complex" statements are, in fact, outright lies. It's impossible for any computer program to prove either condition has been met, so the game uses an internal variable and upticks it every time a rules change occurs, and if enough happen quickly enough to lag the game, the game displays the message. This is why on the Switch version there is a noticeable lag spike before an infinite loop happens- without this failsafe the game would simply freeze.
@@williamdrum9899 i have switch version lol
Χ
And for the actual explanation: Toggling on and off "force high contrast lines" in settings causes rule updates even when paused despite not advancing the gamestate. So do that fast enough and you trick the game into saying "too complex"
to get the star on level nine you are probably meant to use the "your text here" thing to get across
ohh that makes sense
@@RubyPiec oh, I thought you just had to make the player really small with low grav but, I suppose that's easier.

More like Pause Button Abuse

There was a similar concept, except it's on a short time limit, and all momentum is kept while the game is "paused." I don't remember the name, but it was a very, very well made game.
I remember playing that one, I got stuck on the 1 second levels.
I believe the game you refer to is called "Pause Ahead"
Pause Ahead?
Fun fact: Toby Fox wrote some of the alternate dialogue for that game
Pause ahead, still on newgrounds working with the new player.
theres actually a really cool flash game with a similar (ish) concept called Pause Ahead, its on newgrounds and you can play it with their player
yeah I was definitely getting those vibes playing this :D
You being afraid your plan would fail, is why you didn't collect that star at the end
I like how Level 3 uses the wallpaper from Level 0 of The Backrooms, which makes sense since the level has no apparent exit
the backgrounds have randomly generated colors and it has a lil easter egg with the backrooms wallpaper
it can happen at any level
yeah but i think it was a random chance thing as the next time level 3 was shown it didn't have that wallpaper

Icely raging is one of the funnies things ever
RRRRRRRRRH
Doom when you get hurt:
a cool game I ended up playing for a little bit is "detective gui"
it's a little long but is similar to baba is you in a way with subverting expectations
it's by a person called joqlepecheur on itchio
hi! when i was making a platformer game, i had a bug where the settings menu can be exploited as a platform, its great to see that a game is built around this mechanic!
This is very similar to an old flash game called pause ahead. That game was really fun to move around in
Love seeing new and creative ideas like this! Always pushes the genre forward :)
this is a p2w game
Pause to win
I always thought about a game like this, some sort of puzzle or platformer but you have to use the settings to beat the levels. I recall you played a level back, which required you to change the contrast in order to win, and there were seven flash games with a similar concept. They all remind me of this.
Not sure if it has a stage like this, but my absolute favorite 4th Wall breaking game, and one of my favorite flash and puzzle games, The Only Level. Or something like that, The sick-ass elephant puzzle game where you do cool stuff to open doors.
@@Flameonoodle Exactly! In fact that was the flash game I was referring to. I remember needing to change the volume settings on that.
theres a very epic game called "That Level Again", it also makes u solve thta kind of puzzles and messing around with even the device settings as mute or airplane mode
@@ellayeryt1303 Oh yeah! That's a really good fangame series, 1 and 2 are really good, 3 is pretty bad cause it tries to go for a groundhogs day kind of thing, which makes it REALLY boring until you find out how to break the loop. And 4 is honestly just confusing. But first two are amazing.
@@Flameonoodle yep, i have finished the 3rd ones but 4th is just not good
how didnt he notice the backrooms?
Oh, man! I found your channel from Jimi can’t read and I wasn’t able to find it again. Now you’re back on my feed! So hype rn!
This is a very sneaky game
I believe the hint meant to make the door so big the top peeks to the other side and thats how you touch it, but anyways thanks spaghetti Monster
I played this already, it's really well made, and there are so many things to do.
It's just that I gave up at level 8 because of it keeps resetting when I hit a spike
Ho
i gave up on level 9 bcuz i kept resetting
This concept is amazing
keep up the content like this and you'll be at 10k in no time! you're doing great.
thank you :)))
This is a cool concept!
So the pause menu does everything in the game… except pause it?
Come on, if it did its job you wouldn’t be able to beat the levels
@@Axcyantol Plants VS Zombies I, Zombie Endless mode also requires you to exploit the pause button to get streak 100 and the pause button actually pauses!
@@A_Hexagon yes but in this game the pause menu must be used as platforming, in that game it must be used for Professional Pause Strats
13:41 jumpscare moment
Toads.
I didnt realise how early i was too this, his lower case raging has become my new favourite thing
Underrated channel not ganna lie!
fr
if a puzzle made you say"oh that that is possible" means it already decimated you
honestly I thought this would be a video like that Carry time travel thing, but this is just as good
Affecting time gravity and zoom all at once is pretty cool
i love how when your head hit a something it plays a bonk sound and your cute lil blob go > < and when you win he go ^ ^
tha't so cute :3
Can't wait to see EazySpezys run on this
What if there was a puzzla game that uses chess mechanics, but some rules are made for some pieces or tiles?
You know what, Chess battle advanced. Break the chain and icely will delete that reply.

What a cool, creative game!
You just got GMTK 2023'd
His laugh at the end showed trued agony
Pause button advanced (i got the one frame of baba is you in the video 34:02 )
I don't see it
@GoldenMysticat._ it's one frame, go back to 34:01 or 34:00 if you can't see it
thats a cool concept
Such a cool idea wow
This Looks Cool
the algorithm has blessed one of icely's videos once again
This game is pretty good!
I didn't figure out level 7 and had to stop, will try again later I guess.
I remember a LittleBigPlanet level where you could pause your character but the world kept going, it was really cool. Wish I could play that game again
Are you okay man? You laughed like you're hiding your pain
while that happens to be true in some ways, I think it's because of mic settings and weird filters
lol
The laugh at start was personal💀
11:13 My life in a nutshell
25:43 i like how the text completely matches with the button lol
i love meta games like this one
18:20 icely: i hate it alll
That final door was cheese.
When I did the Brightness level, the background was the wallpaper of the Backrooms
Loud Frightening sounds warning!! 13:43
i love how youtube thinks this is baba is you
but where does the bumpscosity slider come into play
"The game where you pause as a game mechanic"
Every game is like that if you are a speedrunner. Super Mario 64, pause buffer for BLJ. Super Meat Boy, alt glitch
Bro passed trought a door to the Backrooms
13:42 what even happened here and why did he have like no reaction at all
AM I HALLUCINATING OR DID I JUST SEE THE BACKROOMS WALL PNG WHATEVER THAT IS?
The creator is so creative lmao
Wait I thought you had at least 50k. Nice content
Can you get the last 2 stars, then write a 1-star review with the video attached to the developer?
I paused the video to watch the video
34:00 CURSED BABA ATTACK.
Really reminds me of Sam Hogan's game.
that exact wall paper is the backrooms
21:15 Chess advanced dies and then dies
This is creative
I can only imagine that being ported to Switch (probably as a homebrew game for modded consoles) and players having to press the + button frequently.
How many times does Icely say "bonk" in this video?
The game that you are playing reminds me of a game called "Superliminal"
physically interacting with the UI
bro has a literal haha laugh
Icely done!
i swear that i've heard your voice *somewhere* before but i cant quite place it
... Icely... Struggles?
sm noticed the baba is you flash at 34:00?
This game reminds me the "That level again" or smth
Please play Pause Ahead, it's an amazing old flash game by the Katana Zero devs.
Nice video
Limits were made to be broken
I was zoomed in… FOR 80% OF THE VIDEO I WAS ZOOMED IN!!!
I didn’t even notice till you got on the mute button at 23:50
27:33 "That's a good level, but..." Probably sums up the entire game
there was a star on level 12 there was a hidden room under the right room

1:11 ITS THE BACKROOMS
This game is just giving me TLA vibes right now
yea bro
Yess I loved those games, and was absolutely thinking of them
1:07
*G A S P*
THE BACKROOMS
that, was kinda long.... PEWH. that just used all my braincells
Yo this game is on coolmathgames, also I quit on the 2nd level because I just couldn't understand how to beat it with the options menu.
the actual game where you unintendedly exploit the pause option to make the game easy is the flash game bullet bill 3. i remember when i used to play it when i was 6 and when i discovered this trick the game became a joke. even tho its a flash game its still fun asl
this game reminds me a lot of TLA
Was the game jam the 4th wall or something?
1:05 He didn't even notice it was the Backrooms background
nice :D
You literally didn't realize it was gravity when some levels ago, you said something about your jump height being slightly changed after using that button
21:44 His reaction... 💀
