Sokoban Solving

Mr. Sokoban pushes boxes to get them to storage locations. Here is how he solves a certain level:

Level 1 Level 1

He is stuck on the following puzzle:

Level 2 Level 2

Is this puzzle solvable?


Details and Assumptions:

  • The player may only move horizontally or vertically onto empty squares (never through walls or boxes).
  • The player can never stand on a box. However, he can stand on a storage location.
  • The player can also move into a box, which pushes it into the square beyond.
  • Boxes may not be pushed into other boxes or walls, and they cannot be pulled either.
  • The puzzle is solved when all boxes are at storage locations.

Hint: He can stand on those storage locations.

He simply moves to the storage location in the top right corner and pushes the upper box into the left storage and then comes back for the second box

But that is the problem! After he does what you say, there is no way for him to come back and push the second box into the right place!

Hint: As shown in the GIF, even if the box reaches a certain storage location, it can still be pushed out of it, as long as it is pushed using the valid rules.

Unfortunately, we do not know exactly where the locations where he must push the boxes, which removes the possible knowledge that he stands/does not stand on the boxes. (Correct me if I’m wrong- I did not see any writing detailing where the boxes must be pushed.)
