What you are aiming for

Follow these playing steps
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Choosing and moving on screen
Arrow keys or direction buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Follow the example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
