After only a few levels you'll come to appreciate what Pushy really is: a logic game that is a lot of fun! Each level will create new challenges to your intelligence. In advanced levels, Pushy will be able to move heavy stone blocks out of the way, cleverly bypass electrical spots to get through the sliding doors and free up a path through offices littered with bullets. But, watch out for trap doors and other alarms you may trigger! There are loads more things to do than in classic sokoban! Have fun!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pushy Boxes at Free against PUSHY's $2.99. PUSHY's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Pushy Boxes is free to download; PUSHY costs $2.99 up front. PUSHY sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pushy Boxes sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PUSHY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 41 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of PUSHY's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pushy Boxes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PUSHY ships an update every 5 months, Pushy Boxes every 29 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
