Cratebound

Most box-push games just want you to finish. Cratebound wants you to finish perfectly. Every warehouse is a Sokoban puzzle with one rule: push every crate onto a goal pad. You can only push, never pull โ so one careless shove into a corner and that crate is lost for good. Think before you move, and the whole board opens up. TAP TO PLAN, THE FEATURE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING - Tap any crate and Cratebound lights up every single square it can be pushed to from where you stand - Dead corners, where a crate could never reach a goal again, are marked in red before you ruin your run - Tap a highlighted square and the keeper walks the route and makes the push for you โ no fumbling one step at a time - It turns a game famous for fat-finger mistakes into pure, clean planning A REAL PAR, NOT A GUESS - Every level ships with its optimal push count, worked out by a solver built into the app - Match that number and you earn a Perfect Clear and three stars, so a win always means something - Watch your lifetime push efficiency climb as you stop wasting moves - The par is provable, because each board is generated in reverse from a solved state and then verified SIMPLE TO PLAY, HARD TO MASTER - Swipe to move the keeper; tap a floor tile to have him walk there on his own - Unlimited undo, one push at a time, so a mistake is never the end of a board - A hint that shows the next optimal push without ever moving a crate for you - No timers rushing you, no lives to run out, no move limit to fail 100 HAND-BUILT LEVELS ACROSS FIVE WAREHOUSES - Start in the Depot on small, friendly boards and finish in the Citadel on dense five-crate puzzles - Each warehouse ramps up gently: bigger floors, more crates, tighter walls - Every level is a fresh, solver-checked layout, never a reskin of the last one - An Endless shift keeps dealing new boards when you just want to keep playing, no stars, no pressure A DAILY SHIFT FOR EVERYONE - One shared board a day, identical for every player on earth, with its own certified par - Build a streak and watch your month fill in on the calendar - The board grows over the week, from a quick Monday to a meaty weekend - Share your pushes and streak with a single tap STATS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING - Lifetime push efficiency, wasted pushes and perfect clears, all from real play - An efficiency trend chart that shows whether you are genuinely improving - A consistency heatmap of the last 15 weeks - This week against last, your best day of the week, and personal records - 40 badges across 10 families, from your first clear to your hundredth streak day PERFECT FOR - Anyone who loves a logic puzzle with a right answer, not a lucky one - Sokoban and push-box fans who want a modern, forgiving take on the classic - Players who bounced off other warehouse puzzles because a single slip lost the level - People who want a calm brain workout for a coffee break or a commute - Anyone who prefers thinking to tapping, and patience to reflexes - Long flights, waiting rooms, the underground: it never needs a signal Cratebound is fully offline. No account, no sign-up, no subscription, and your progress never leaves your device. Push the first crate and see how few moves it really takes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cratebound at none against Brain Training's 1. Cratebound also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Brain Training's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
