This game is a remake of a classic from the beginning of the home computer era, in the early 1980s. I tried to keep the charm of the old 8-bit game and combine it with new graphics and levels.

About

Box Master

Read full description

Box Master is a 3D puzzle game about pushing boxes onto targets. One move at a time, one room at a time โ€” until your brain starts to hurt in the best possible way. It looks simple. It is simple. Then level 30 happens. KEY FEATURES โ€ข 155 hand-picked levels from the legendary Microban set โ€ข 9 playable characters โ€” knights, skeletons, mages, rogues โ€ข Full 3D world with a clean perspective camera โ€ข VHS-style rewind: undo any number of moves, no penalty โ€ข Hold-to-move controls for fast traversal โ€ข Little voice lines and a jump button, just because โ€ข Automatic progress saving on every level โ€ข Keyboard, touch and gamepad support A LOVE LETTER TO TWO CLASSICS Sokoban was created in 1981 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi in Japan and quietly became one of the most influential puzzle games ever made. Nine years later, a small studio called TbiliSoft, working out of Tbilisi, Georgia, released a DOS clone with a national twist โ€” they called it Kurtan, after "kurtani", the rough sack Georgian shepherds used to carry their load. Box Master is a 3D remake that tips its hat to both: the precise, mathematical purity of Sokoban, and the warm, slightly stubborn personality of the post-Soviet clone that taught a generation of kids what "thinking three moves ahead" means. Pure puzzle, no accounts, no clutter โ€” just you, a room, some boxes, and the quiet satisfaction of clicking the last one into place.

The call

The clearest difference is price: Box Master at Free against PalletPusher's $1.99. PalletPusher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 3). On in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
