THE PLAYBOOK · SUDAANMO
Getting started with Sokoban
Open Sokoban, check the instructions and begin a round. Push every crate onto a target. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
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. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
Push every crate onto a target. The feedback beside the game helps you follow 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.
Making selections and moves
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
An example before you play
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
