An idea for your next attempt
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
Push every crate onto a target. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The playing sequence
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
How your actions work
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Notice this detail
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
