How does it work?

Jux · 06/01/2020 23:35

Oh, sorry 😉

The man has to push the boxes onto crosses. When a box gets onto a green cross the cross goes red.
He's not very strong so he can't push a line of two (or more) boxes.
Boxes can be moved off crosses, they don't get stuck there.

With this particular level, there are only two possible moves to start, he can push one of the red cross boxes.I've tried starting with each one but soon get to a move where a box has been pushed into the opposite wall and can only go up and down as I can no longer get behind the box to get it away from the wall.

I can't find the actual game on the App store anymore but it's a variant of the old Sokoban game and this is called Push Box (because not everyone is old enough to have played it in the 90s!), of which there are many available.

I think...if I understand you correctly...

Man moves upwards pushing red box onto green cross. Man moves back to bottom of screen. Man pushes 2nd red box to right wall. Man then moves upward, then one to the right, then up. He then pushes pink box left onto green cross.

Or have I misunderstood the rules?

Does this work?

Tinofcurses, I'm afraid I couldn't work out what you meant; thank you anyway. I'll copy it onto paper and see what I can do

Nocoolnamesleft very close! I'm going to put up some pix of those stages and you can see how close it gets!

Ah sorry, my diagram probably makes no sense. It's supposed to show how the thing looks after each move, reading from top to bottom, but the photo ended up sideways.

Jux · 07/01/2020 00:45

That makes more sense! I've had a go, but we still end up with a box stuck up against the wall and therefore unmovable

Oh, the last green cross for the final box is where the man is standing 😀

Oh, didn't realise there was a cross under the guy!

MoonlightMistletoe · 10/01/2020 17:14

I'm stuck on level 49 there's no hope for me Grin

Jux · 10/01/2020 17:50

Moonlight is that this one? For me, it's marked as done, but I'm blowed if I can remember how I did it! Not straight off anyway; I'll have a proper look later. (And it's only the 'Beginners' section! I think that this version of Sokoban is likely to last me to my grave!)

@Jux the one you needed help with was 89 so you've gone way past me! I actually downloaded the puzzle because of this post!

It does help pass the time, doesn't it? Grin

Some of the puzzles are quite straightforward and you think you're on the home straight, and then you come up against one which just bamboozles you and you just can't do it..... eventually, in desperation you ask MN.

I've got into the 150s, but there are some which I simply can't do along the way, which I revisit from time to time. ^^ That was one of them. I've had this game for about 2 years, mind.

Goodness knows what the hard ones are like, I haven't dared look Grin

Glad you're enjoying it too!
