Box Master

Box Master is a 3D puzzle game about pushing boxes onto targets. One move at a time, one room at a time — until your brain starts to hurt in the best possible way. It looks simple. It is simple. Then level 30 happens. KEY FEATURES • 155 hand-picked levels from the legendary Microban set • 9 playable characters — knights, skeletons, mages, rogues • Full 3D world with a clean perspective camera • VHS-style rewind: undo any number of moves, no penalty • Hold-to-move controls for fast traversal • Little voice lines and a jump button, just because • Automatic progress saving on every level • 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 — 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 — just you, a room, some boxes, and the quiet satisfaction of clicking the last one into place.
