The latest sokoban games for Linux

Sokoban games, also known as block-pushing or box-pushing games, are turn-based puzzle games in which you control a character pushing or moving objects around on a grid. The genre has origins in the 1982 game Sokoban, designed by Hiroyuki Imabayashi, in which you have to push boxes around a warehouse onto designated targets. The japanese word 倉庫番 (“sōkoban”) translates to “warehouse keeper”.

Traditional sokoban games tend to focus on carefully moving boxes around in tight spaces, while more modern games tend to focus on having insights about their systems and mechanics. Stephen's Sausage Roll is particularly notable for its influence on the genre, to the degree that some of the games in this new wave of sokoban games are known as “Sausage-likes”.
