About Sokoban Master

Sokoban is one of the oldest puzzle formats in computing and it has survived because of a single, brutally elegant rule: crates can be pushed but never pulled. Push a crate into a corner and it stays there forever. That one constraint means a level can become unsolvable long before it looks lost, and recognising a dead position is a large part of the skill.

Sokoban Master presents the classic version faithfully. You push every crate onto a marked target square, progressing through difficulty tiers that start beginner-friendly and become genuinely demanding, with stars awarded for completing levels efficiently. The undo key, mapped to Z, is essential rather than optional, because the correct way to play is to test an idea, recognise it fails, and step back. Experienced players learn to identify the crate that must be placed last and work backwards from it. The game supports arrow keys or WASD on desktop and an on-screen D-pad on mobile.

How to Play

On desktop, move with the Arrow Keys or WASD and press Z to undo a move. On mobile, use the on-screen D-pad controls or tap the game board to move. Push every crate onto a target square to complete the level. Crates can only be pushed, never pulled, so a crate pushed against a wall or into a corner may be stuck permanently.

Game Features

  • Faithful implementation of the classic Sokoban ruleset
  • Multiple difficulty tiers from beginner to demanding

Tips and Strategies

Never push a crate into a corner unless a target is in it. That is the single most common way to make a level unsolvable.

Work out which crate must be placed last. Levels usually have one target that blocks access to the others, and solving in the wrong order traps you.

Watch the walls. A crate pushed flat against a wall can only slide along it, which removes half your options.

Undo freely. Z costs you nothing, and the fastest way to solve a hard level is to disprove three bad ideas quickly.
