Baba Is You is one of the best, strangest puzzle games of the past decade. Instead of moving blocks and finding keys, your main mechanic is moving words — making it so that you are the key, or changing the goal of the entire level to suit your needs. Okay, you'll still be moving blocks and finding keys, but it's different, alright?!
Developer of Baba Is You, Hempuli, occasionally makes tiny games on itch.io, some of which are to do with Baba (or Keke, another one of the game's characters). There's Baba Is You XTREME, which has real physics and no grid; Baba Friend, which adds a little Baba to your desktop; It's A Me, an unplayable Mario-like platformer; and now, arguably the best spin-off of all...
Sure, it's not on Switch, but this little tax-filing simulator is a great way to revisit the loveable Baba... who mostly is not in the game, because you're filing taxes for him by forging his signature.
Also, the tax deadline is coming up. Stop playing games about taxes and do your taxes, silly.

April is quite far away?
Boo! for these not running in Chrome, they all look like lots of fun
Next up: Baba helps Yoshi in court
@Rambler This is a website based out of the UK. Looks like their deadline for online filing is January 31. It was in October for paper returns.
Though apparently in most developed countries the government does your taxes and sends you the results so you can check for mistakes. The reason filing taxes is so hard in the US? Capitalism, of course! The company that owns TurboTax spends lots of money lobbying to ensure their software remains necessary.
@ComfyAko that lawsuit from Boshi is not gonna solve itself
@LastFootnote
Whoops you're right!
I'm conflating the end of the tax year with the tax return deadline.
I think most business across the world have to submit their records to the tax office? Looks like you have to in Germany (from a very very quick Google)

And its horrifying sequel: Baba files Danish taxes.
(My wife is Danish, their taxes are… something for sure.)
This will prepare the children!
I want nothing to do with filing my own taxes…So A SIMULATOR?! What?!

Like you said, tax season is just around the corner, so I can use the lessons I'll learn playing this to file my own taxes for a change! H&R Block can take a hike, I am set.
BABA over here doing what Yoshi don’t!
@LastFootnote Income taxes and capitalism are pretty antithetical to each other. Businesses lobbying to have regulations changed in their favor is more properly called corporatism or cronyism (what economists strangely call "rent-seeking"). But that's great knowledge about tax preparer lobbies. I hadn't heard that but am now edified. Thank you.
Baba is a funny word in Polish, it's sort of a rude word for a woman, usually one we either don't like or a big one. Like "that rude baba from school" about a teacher we dislike. Some children also say baba as a granny.
Man i love these funny types of spin-offs, we need more humor games like this where you just do everyday tasks but it’s funny for some reason.
