BoxMan(or Named Sokoban, PushBox, warehouse keeper) is a transport puzzle in which the player pushes boxes around a maze, viewed from above, and tries to put them in designated locations. Only one box may be pushed at a time, and boxes cannot be pulled. The puzzle is usually implemented as a video game.
First BoxMan game is Sokoban, it was created in 1980 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi, and was published in 1982 by Thinking Rabbit, a software house based in Takarazuka, Japan. Thinking Rabbit also released three sequels: Boxxle, Sokoban Perfect and Sokoban Revenge. The first game was imported to the US by Spectrum HoloByte for the Commodore 64 and IBM-PC. A 1988 review of the original in Computer Gaming World praised the game for being "pure and simple, very playable and mentally challenging," citing its addictive qualities.
Implementations of Sokoban have been written for numerous computer platforms, including almost all home computer and personal computer systems. Versions also exist for several hand held and video game consoles, mobile phones, graphic calculators, and Canon PowerShot digital cameras. Many other puzzle games, such as Chip's Challenge and Rocks and Diamonds, implement Sokoban-based gameplay. The roguelike computer game NetHack contains a sequence of dungeon levels deliberately designed to simulate a Sokoban game.

Awesome app !!!
UI is very nice, 100 stages is enough and full of challenge, my wife and me all like it very much!
Great game for puzzle lovers
Great for fans of Sokoban puzzles. Only negative is the navigation. Using touch to navigate is frustrating.
After finding the virtual controller and using my stylus, the navigation issue was resolved.
I rated this 4 stars beause of the navigation. The puzzles rate 5 stars.
