The Sokoban playbook
Read the aim of Sokoban, then make your first move. Push every crate onto a target. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Use the example below to understand a decision.
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
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you need to achieve
Push every crate onto a target. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
The playing sequence
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Input guidance
Arrow keys or direction buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
An example to follow
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. Verify the rule before continuing.
Where a round can go wrong
Consider the player’s access behind crates. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
