Step by step
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.

See the idea in action
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
An important reminder
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
