Follow the steps for Sokoban
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Sokoban. Push every crate onto a target. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Look at what changes after your first action.
Push two crates onto their targets in compact 7×7 rooms. The starting layouts can be solved; an unhelpful push may still trap a crate.
Give this approach a try
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Push every crate onto a target. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
How to proceed
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Your inputs
Arrow keys or direction buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
See the idea in action
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Consider the player’s access behind crates. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
