About the Game

A curse! The three Baba Yaga sisters have been cursed for their misdeeds. Two of the sisters have been tethered together by magic and the third… well, she’s been transformed into a house! You must work together to solve puzzles, find the children, and lift the curse from your family. In this cute co-op game, players can use their magic to both lift objects and one another to navigate through puzzle-filled woods. Throughout these woods, players will find lost children and bring them back to the house-sister that follows you through your journey. Together, the sisters can use their tether to:

  • Dangle off ledges

  • Pull physics objects about the environment

  • Yank the other player

  • And more!

Birds of a feather must work together. Bubba Yuga must be played using controllers. The game only supports local multiplayer. Bubba Yuga was created in 6 weeks by students at the University of Utah for the Master of Entertainment Arts and Engineering program.
