Understand the basics of Sokoban
Read the aim of Sokoban, then make your first move. Push every crate onto a target. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. 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.
Something to practise
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
Understand the aim
Push every crate onto a target. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Start here and follow along
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
How your actions work
Arrow keys or direction buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
Put the rules into context
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
A common point of confusion
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
