Sokoban 30th anniversary 1982-2012 (Final)

Level 29 is without a doubt the "star puzzle" of the "Original" collection, and - if I am not mistaken - the first puzzle "two rows" of Sokoban. Who would be your author? I don't know, but it reminds me the style of Yoshio Sakae, perhaps because he published masterpieces with similar structures (see Sokoban Perfect 88 and especially Sokoban Revenge 55, 145, 146, 147...). After level 1, is the puzzle of the collection that have been made more variations. Here I have collected... 29 (coincidence?).

Not sure to what extent this puzzle of Hiroshi Inoue (afterwards published in Sokoban Revenge 110) can be considered inspired in the level 29. However, there are some matches (in the top center) and the general structure is similar: storage area in the center (with two rows, two entries) and rooms around.

  1. I confirm that my level "l'entrepôt qui tue" was actually inspired by the formidable level 29 ! In english, the title of my level means "the warehouse which kills", and with the help of Jordi, it even kills more :-)
