New Sokoban games

These days I have spent time to dive in Internet, to update my file of Sokoban games and Sokoban variants (for Windows). These are some games I've found.

Remake of the classic game BrainSport (1991) by Arno van der Hulst for ZX Spectrum. Contains the 99 levels of the original game, plus many other puzzles created by the author, up to a total of 200 levels. There is a time to solve each level. Score according to moves and time spent on solving each level. Very good design and usability.

It should release the prisoners and open the way between the boxes until you reach the exit. As the level progresses new elements appear that hinder the game: ice blocks, tiles with spikes, a guardian, traps... There are 100 puzzles.

This program allows you to play the puzzles created by the users themselves. In the initial window, if you select "Wyszukaj poziomy" you enter the archive of puzzles. First, register your nick name: click in the icon of white color, bottom-right (next to the arrow of exit). To play, select a puzzle from the list on the left. There are currently 47 puzzles. To refresh the list and download new puzzles: click on the circular arrow, down-right. There is a ranking of the top 10 players according to time spent on solving each puzzle.

To edit a puzzle, in the initial screen select "Stwórz własny poziom" ("Create your own levels"). The editor allows you to create puzzles with boxes/goals of up to 5 different colors. One drawback: there is no the element "box-in-goal" (and "player-in-goal"). To send the puzzle to the server, click on the diskette icon. The program you will be asked to write a title for the puzzle and then a nick name (the "copyright" of the puzzle will appear in the lower right corner in the screen of the puzzle).
