About Sokoballs

Sokoballs is a puzzle game with a retro look. Its levels are drawn in pixel art, and each one sets a task: get the balls onto the switches.

That sounds simple, and early levels are. The difficulty rises as you go, and the game rewards thinking several moves ahead. Planning ahead is key, so it pays to look at the whole layout first.

The game is designed for landscape screens, which gives you a wide view of each level. It suits players who like the slow, careful kind of puzzle where the satisfaction comes from working out a solution.

How to play Sokoballs

  1. Look at the level and find the balls and the switches.
  2. Maneuver the balls toward the switches.
  3. Think about where each ball needs to end up before you move it.
  4. Get the balls onto the switches to solve the level.
  5. Follow the on-screen prompts for the controls.

Tips and tricks

  • Study the whole level before your first move.
  • Try planning several moves ahead, working backward from the switch if that helps.
  • Think each move through before you make it.
  • If you get stuck, look at the level again from the start with a different plan.
