SokoSave is a superb version of "Sokoban", the Japanese `warehouse
keeper' puzzle.
It features: over 160 levels; classic square-tiled Sokoban puzzles,
hexagonal-tiled Hexoban puzzles & triangular-tiled Trioban puzzles; unlimited
undo/redo; save game; several modes of computer-assisted movement; good
graphics; intuitive game controls; and more.
This is a most impressive game. With its crisp, simple graphics and its
excellent gameplay SokoSave is one of the best Sokoban puzzles we have
seen.
The `warehouse keeper' can be moved by cursor, by left-clicking on a pad in
the game, by clicking anywhere on the grid (the man will only be moved there
if it is physically possible), or by highlighting the box you wish to move and
then clicking where you want that box to go (will only work if it is
physically possible to make that move).
We liked the hexagonal and triangular variations of SokoSave which give
you a whole new way of looking at this `warehouse'.
If you like puzzles then SokoSave is one of the best around.
Get it!
