A level represents a storeroom after an earthquake. All the boxes are scattered throughout the level and its you job to re-stack the facility.
Our red headed Sokoban (warehouse keeper) needs to push the yellow boxes back into the marked blue positions on the floor. But remember, your warehouse keeper is only strong enough to push one box at a time.

Pros and cons of Smart Sokoban app for iPhone and iPad

Smart Sokoban app good for

This a simple but challenging puzzle app thats well worth the 99 cents. The pro version apparently includes the ability to download additional levels, but at the rate Im going I wont need that "pro" feature for a long time! I first tried this on my iPhone, but found that the screen was too small to move the blocks accurately, no matter which "tapstyle" I tried. I was getting so frustrated with all the wrong moves I was accidentally making that I almost threw my phone across the room. I then switched to my iPad, and have had no problems whatsoever using the "push" tapstyle to move blocks.

Very good sokoban game but needs one more feature: an ability to undo more than one move. Sometimes, I mistakenly start a (small) series of moves but instead of backtracking, I must start all over again - which is somewhat frustrating. Thanks for your time.
