In your Baba-Is-You methodology, were test takers able to play through tutorial levels normally before they switched to plan-in-advance? Did you ask them if they had any familiarity with the game beforehand?
People varied in how much Baba-Is-You experience they had. Some of them were completely new, and did complete the first couple levels (which are pretty tutorial-like) using the same methodology I outline here, before getting to a level that was a notable challenge.
They actually did complete the first couple levels successfully, which I forgot when writing this post. This does weaken the rhetorical force, but also, the first couple levels are designed more to teach the mechanics and are significantly easier. I’ll update the post to clarify this.
Some of them had played before, and were starting a new level from around where they left off.
