Zoko

Zoko is a 3D reinterpretation of Sokoban by Samuel Nilsson and Sebastian Viklund, entered in GitHub Game Off 2012. The rule is the familiar one: every crate has to be pushed onto a marked platform, and boxes can only be pushed, never pulled.

What makes it a genuine rethink rather than a port is the third dimension - you can walk around a cluster of boxes, approach from any side, and push a row of them in one sweep. The camera orbits freely so a puzzle that looks walled off from one angle is often trivially solvable from another. Twelve levels, a step counter and a highscore table track your best run.

How to Play

1. Walk to the far side of a crate to push it toward a platform.
2. Push every crate onto a marked platform.
3. Use the camera to find an approach you cannot see from the default angle.
4. Beat your step count on the level select.

Controls

• Arrow keys - move / rotate
• Click a crate face - push that direction
• Mouse drag - orbit the camera
• R - reset level

Tips

Count steps before you commit to a push. A crate pushed into a corner is unrecoverable and costs you a full reset, so the last crate in a level is usually the one that deserves the longest think.
