Eric F. Tchong - Santanero

The santanero is a typical snake from Aruba,"One Happy Island" of the Lesser Antilles.
 
First, I posted the fun snake santanero of Eric, and then two remodels: the first is very simple, and the stopheart+anian version is more elaborate and ingenious. If there were more remodels, I will add them to the series.

This last remodel could be very good, because it forces to do very difficult maneuvers in the central area. But it has a serious defect: the left side is rendered useless, is dispensable.

Come on! A little imagination!...


... I regained the left side:

申猴 (Shen Monkey)

A few days ago, "laizhufu" post in the Forum MF8 a fantastic "Yin Tiger" (see here: Yin Tiger). Now, 随风而逝 ("Gone with the Wind") has posted an interesting "Shen Monkey". Little by little the Chinese Zodiac with their 12 animals is being completed: several have already been posted.

At the bottom of the Monkey, boxes (and walls) are two Chinese characters 申猴 ("Shen Monkey"). Yang Chao sent me a detailed explanation:

In fact, there are two Chinese characters at the bottom.
The left one is "Shen" 申
The right one is "monkey" 猴
The characters include boxes and walls.

Enjoy!

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.
