THE PLAYBOOK · HRZBANJIA
Making your first moves in Sokoban
Bring your attention to one round of Sokoban. Push every crate onto a target. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
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.
Understand the aim
Push every crate onto a target. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How a round unfolds
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
How to interact with the game
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.
One way to understand the rules
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. Check the stated objective.
Pay attention to this rule
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
