Box (Puzzle) by iKi

screenshot 1

Box is a remake of Sokoban, an old puzzle game where you push boxes around in a warehouse, only the shape of the rooms makes it a bit awkward to get the boxes to where you want them. 100 levels of brain teasing rooms awaits you, but don't think you have to do them all at once, oh that would be horrific, once you complete a level the game saves your progress so you can restart at any time. On screen is a counter with the number of moves and pushes you have used so far in the level, and below it lists the shortest number you have done the level in (if you have already completed it) which makes for a nice challenge of doing the levels in the most efficient way.
It looks to me like the graphics have been ripped from one of the Zelda games, which is quite amusing, and they make the game look pretty nice especially when you compare them to the original sokobans rough graphics! A mod player has been added to play some cheesy tunes in the background and there are minimal sound effects.

Graphics: It's a nice looking game, and any graphical enhancements would really be unnecessary.
Sound: Sound is a bit irrelevant with a brain game such as this, I tend to turn it off, but there is music if you desire.
Gameplay: One of the genius puzzlers of our time, classic and flawless, if you like puzzle games, you need this.
Progress: Seems to be pretty complete to me, I can't think of anything else it needs.
Game Idea: It's a remake of a very old game so..
Replay Value: It will take you some time to complete 100 levels, unless you have a brain like the tefal scientists. I will keep coming back but I don't know if I'll ever complete it.

Overall: Chock another one up for the GP32 puzzle collection, a fine release by iKi.
