Sokoban (倉庫番 sōko-ban, "warehouse keeper") is a type of puzzle video game, in which the player pushes boxes or crates around in a warehouse, trying to get them to storage locations. The game is played on a board of squares, where each square is a floor or a wall. Some floor squares contain boxes, and some floor squares are marked as storage locations. The player is confined to the board, and may move horizontally or vertically onto empty squares (never through walls or boxes). The player can also move into a box, which pushes it into the square beyond. Boxes may not be pushed into other boxes or walls, and they cannot be pulled. The number of boxes is equal to the number of storage locations. The puzzle is solved when all boxes are at storage locations. In order to move the player, you have to swipe up/down/left/right to move in the respective location Here are some distinctive features of this game:  * Support auto play mode  * Increasing difficulty - if you find first levels too easy then please don’t be upset - solve them quickly and get into serious challenge! * More than 600 levels ATTENTION: This game is an implementation of a great classic puzzle game and can help you keep your brain in shape!

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sokoban/Push Box at 4.0 against Boxed In's 3.6. Sokoban/Push Box also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sokoban/Push Box holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxed In has 610 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Boxed In's written reviews are positive against 60% of Sokoban/Push Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
