An idea for your next attempt
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
The objective of a round
Push every crate onto a target. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Using the playing area
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A closer look at one example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Consider the player’s access behind crates. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
