Sasha here! 👋
Ever wanted to make your own Sokoban game? Sokoban is a genre of puzzle game where you push/pull blocks with the goal over moving them on to specific tiles on the map. They're typically simple pickup and play games so I figured it was a nice fit for the Tuesday newsletter. :)
I am Two was created using an open-source HTML5 puzzle game engine called PuzzleScript.
The engine seems easy to use and on the PuzzleScript site you can find many games in the gallery for which you can view the game scripts. 👀
Otherwise the site has many many Sokoban games for you to play. Some might be a bit convoluted but mostly once you've played a few you start to understand how the you're "supposed" to play games made with the engine.
Useful Tips
Controls are:
- Z - Undo last action (very helpful)
- R - Restart (if you really messed up.. can be undone with Z)
- X - Place a Clone\Teleport to Clone
- Arrow Keys - Move
Think about how your clone can be use to get around obstacles or even act as an obstacle!
Final Thoughts
I am Two was a good one I found. I had actually discovered I am Two through a few other games created with the same engine that had interesting concepts... but were definitely not beginner friendly. If you are to explore other Sokobans on the PuzzleScript site I'd recommend playing I am Two first.
