GAMEPLAY RULES
Rules & Core Mechanics
Sokoban rules are simple to learn, but require careful foresight to prevent deadlocks.
2
Push-Only Physics
You can only push crates forward — never pull them. You can push only 1 crate at a time. Crates blocked by walls or other crates cannot move.
3
Color-Coded Matching
In Sokoban GO, crates and target locations are color-coded (Red, Blue, Green). A crate must land on a target frame of matching color.
4
Beware of Deadlocks
Pushing a crate into a corner or against a wall without a target frame creates a deadlock, rendering the level unsolvable.

STRATEGY & TIPS
Puzzle Solving Strategies
Master these essential tactics to conquer even the toughest levels.
1. Work Backward (Reverse Analysis)
Start by analyzing the target frames: "From which direction must the crate enter this target?" Backward analysis reveals crucial pathways.
2. Clear Bottlenecks First
If a crate blocks a narrow hallway or entrance, prioritize moving it into a wider area so your character maintains freedom of movement.
3. Avoid Wall Edges Without Targets
Pushing a crate against a wall that has no target frames severely restricts its movement, often sliding directly into fatal corners.
4. Experiment & Use Undo (Q)
Don't hesitate to test potential routes! Push a few steps forward and press Q to undo immediately if the path leads to a deadlock.

Do I need to download or install anything to play?
No! Sokoban GO is built with standard HTML5 Canvas and runs directly in any modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) without downloads or plugins.
What is a "Deadlock" in Sokoban?
A deadlock occurs when a crate is pushed into a position where it can no longer be pushed out, such as a corner formed by two walls or a 2x2 cluster of crates, making it impossible to solve the level.
Will my level progress and best steps be saved?
Yes! All unlocked levels, completion status, and personal best step counts are automatically saved in your browser's LocalStorage.
