Rules, controls and help for Sokoban
Choose a round of Sokoban and settle into its rules. 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
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.
Practice with a purpose
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Push every crate onto a target. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Keyboard and screen controls
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Keep this in mind
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
