Deltamount

Deltamount is a puzzle game created by indie developer Hempuli, known for Baba Is You. Released in early January 2026, it invites players to explore logic-based challenges within a creative, grid-shaped world. The game blends simple visuals with unique mechanics that encourage experimentation and problem-solving.

The concept feels familiar at first—you move a small character around boxes and patterns—but it quickly becomes clear that the rules of movement are unusual. Instead of the predictable four-directional pushes found in most grid puzzles, Deltamount changes how objects respond to each action. Figuring out the logic behind these shifts is a major part of the experience. Mistakes are common at first, but discovering the system’s quirks is satisfying once it clicks.

Each level introduces subtle changes that rework how players think about direction, space, and interaction. The lack of detailed instructions is intentional; part of the challenge is observing patterns and testing ideas. Small environmental clues, like grid alignment and how pieces slide or flip, help players uncover the hidden logic without direct guidance. The minimal art style keeps the focus on pure puzzle design rather than flashy visuals.

While short, Deltamount offers plenty of depth for players who enjoy solving compact puzzles that demand careful thought. It’s the kind of game that rewards patience and curiosity, rather than speed or reflexes. The title’s clean 2D design and quiet pacing fit naturally with Hempuli’s other games, which are known for turning simple rules into surprisingly complex systems.
