Yesterday I started to solve the puzzles from "Socoban: Biohazard Edition", and .. WOW! There are very good puzzles!

Find good puzzles is not frecuent in Sokoban online programs. I looked at the "Credits" who is the author of the puzzles: "Levels: kater1nka", he says.

I continued playing, impressed by the quality of the puzzles. But ... surprise! :O ...  Why is here a puzzle of Sven Egevad?

What happens is that, in fact, the puzzles in the collection are of very different authors. I took hours to identify the authors of the 100 puzzles. They are (thanks to Jürgen Müller-Lütken from Onlinespiele-Sammlung):

Why in these programs almost never are mentioned the authors of the puzzles? How hard is it?  :(

Otherwise, the design is good, but the handling of the player is very hard. Another inconvenience: the big puzzles are only partially displayed (the map moves up and down with the movement of the player): it is almost impossible to solve a puzzle if it does not display the entire map.

Something good: mix puzzles of many different authors is a good idea, I not seen since old times of Thinking Rabbit collections: this gives a large variety to the collection, and is more interesting and entertaining.

This is the only good idea of this program.
