Push two crates onto their targets in compact 7×7 rooms. The starting layouts can be solved; an unhelpful push may still trap a crate.
A focus for your next round
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Push every crate onto a target. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How to proceed
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Input guidance
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
An example before you play
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
