| Rules of Sokoban |
The objective in the Sokoban mazes is to push all boxes into the designated tiles. There are three basic rules:
- The player can move a box by pushing it.
- The player cannot push two boxes at once.
- The player cannot pull boxes.
Though the rules are very simple, Sokoban puzzles have a lot of depth, requiring the player to study the puzzle layout and plan ahead every move.
