Sokoban: a guide for your next round
Start Sokoban by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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. 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.
One thing to notice as you play
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Push every crate onto a target. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Follow these playing steps
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Controls
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example to follow
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
