Cube Pusher is a modern version of the classic puzzle Sokoban, the game that challenges your logical thinking to solve the most intricate puzzle levels. The game's goal is to place a number of boxes into the highlighted areas on the gameboard with the least moves possible and pushing only one box at a time, taking into account that boxes cannot be pulled. You need to move and place boxes in such a way so that you don't block your way or get trapped among boxes or game structures.
What Cube Pusher adds to this classic puzzle is four original scenarios or 'Level packs' (Crusaders, Gothic Town, Pirate's Port, and Old Factory) each one with its own design, unique puzzle layouts, and fifty levels that you can play at any moment, that is, without the need of solving previous levels. The game displays an isometric view of the gameboard and a 3D figure of the warehouse keeper, which can be controlled either with your mouse or keyboard. Though Sokoban is not a game that will amaze you with its graphics, Cube Pusher levels look pretty decent and some even have animations here and there. You can use the restart button on the top to reset your current game in case you get stuck, or use the undo option to go back eight or sixteen steps, which will add up to the move count. Once you manage to solve a level, the game shows an animation with fireworks and an aphorism. It also displays the steps you took to complete the puzzle and whether your score qualifies for the best players table.
The main menu offers options related to sound settings and the solution for your already solved levels. The only problem I found while playing was that objects in the gameboard are overlapped, creating a weird effect, a minor thing actually. Other than that, the game looks pretty nice and offers a total of two hundred levels to puzzle through.
