How to play Box Pusher
- Move the blue pawn with the arrow keys, by swiping, with the on-screen arrows, or by tapping a square next to it.
- Walk into a box to push it one square. You can push, but never pull, and only one box at a time.
- Bring every box onto a round target to win.
- A box turns red when it is stuck in a corner away from a target: use Undo to take it back.
- Reset level starts the same warehouse over.
Tips
- Before pushing, check that you can get behind the box on the other side later.
- Never push a box into a corner unless that corner is a target.
- A box against a wall can only slide along that wall: make sure a target lies on it.
- With several boxes, think about the order: fill the targets furthest from the entrance first.
About Box Pusher
Box Pusher is a warehouse puzzle in the tradition of the classic Japanese box-pushing games of the 1980s. The rules fit in one line, yet a few boxes are enough to make a real brain teaser.
Every warehouse here is generated by starting from the solved position and pulling the boxes away, so it can always be solved. A solver measures each level, and only levels that need enough pushes are kept. Four levels go from one box to four boxes in a big warehouse.

Questions
Can every level be solved?
Yes. Levels are built backward from the solved position, so a solution always exists.
What does a red box mean?
It is stuck in a corner that is not a target, so the level can no longer be solved. Undo your last moves.
Is my best score saved?
Yes. Your lowest number of pushes is kept for each level.
