If you have spent hours tripping over your own feet as Nate, the developers behind Baby Steps have a specific request for you. The team is officially campaigning for a nomination in The Steam Awards 2025, and they have their eyes set on the one category that feels practically written for this physics-based stumbling simulator: "Best Game You Suck At."
Embracing the Failure
Let's be honest: nobody is actually "good" at Baby Steps. That is the entire point. With a lineage that includes Bennett Foddy (Getting Over It) and Gabe Cuzzillo (Ape Out), the game was designed from the ground up to make the simple act of walking a hilarious, rage-inducing puzzle. The developers are leaning into this reputation, urging the community to embrace their lack of coordination by casting a vote before the deadline hits.
This isn't just about difficulty; it's about the specific type of frustration that makes you laugh while you fail. Whether you are face-planting into the mist-shrouded mountains or struggling to place one foot in front of the other without tumbling down a cliff, the gameplay loop is built on the player's incompetence. It makes the "Best Game You Suck At" category a natural home for Nate's journey.
When is the voting deadline?
If you want to help cement Baby Steps in Steam Awards history, you need to act fast. The nomination period closes on December 1st at 10 AM PT. You can head over to the Steam store page to cast your nomination. Given the competition this year, every stumble counts.
