Hello everyone, in case you aren't aware, I have a new Sokoban game coming out in 2 weeks!

Sokoban meets Solitaire!

SokoSolitaire is a card-pushing puzzle game that combines Sokoban with Solitaire. You'll find yourself pushing, stacking or flipping cards and more across 60 different handcrafted levels. If you enjoyed the twists Sokobos brought to the Sokoban genre, you will enjoy SokoSolitaire as well!

Hello everyone, Following yesterday's update, I learned of a bug that would cause issues when turning off a colorblind mode and also that the paint barrels from the Aphrodite's Trial DLC would not change their color when colorblind mode was on, both of these have been just fixed! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/31442/Sokobos_GOLD/

Hello everyone, just updated Sokobos to version 1.2.0. This brings a couple of changes, but the most significant one is a the new Input system that I carried over from my upcoming game puzzle game SokoSolitaire.

New input system

This new input system allows for pressing and holding keys, which is something the old one did, but this one is improved. The old system would use a delay between inputs whenever you pressed or held the key. This new one uses delay for holding down a key but pressing a key will always move you, regardless of how long has passed since the last move.

No more settings require a level restart

Sokobos allows you choose a colorblind support mode and also adjust the transparency of the blueprints, however both of these changes required a level restart in order to take an effect. This is no longer the case.

Move optimization mode

In Sokobos you can choose to see a move counter and have a leaderboard displayed after you beat each level. This is a feature for those who enjoy not just solving levels, but also conquering them in as little moves as possible. Sokobos would start you on first time of turning your game if you'd like to have this mode on or off. Looking back, this was not the best choice, as you aren't familiar with the game itself, what its levels are like and so on. This has been changed and all new players will be offered this choice after beating level 10. However, if someone wants to turn it on before then, they can do so in the settings at any time.

Bug with setting default gamepad controls

Last but not least, I've fixed an issue where if you reset controls back to default the D-Pad right and D-Pad left (for moving right and left) would be set to the wrong direction.

Hello everyone, I just updated Sokobos to version 1.1.2!

Improved PRESS ONLY input

When using this (default) input method, there would be a short delay between the game reading input between moves. This would result in situations where you could press a key after moving, but it would not be read and you wouldn't move. This has been fixed.

Improved memory cache

Few patches back I added a memory cache system that would store game objects in memory so that when they appear for the first time during your gameplay session, the game wouldn't sometimes freeze for a split second to load the new object. Few objects were missing which could seldom cause short freezes, these objects have been added.

Typo fix

In the second cutscene in the base game, there's been a typo. This has been fixed. Thank you for playing my game & continuous reporting of issues! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/31442/Sokobos_GOLD/

Hello everyone, it's hard to believe but a year ago Sokobos released on Steam, time sure flies! As you may know, last November I released Aphordite's Trial, a Sokobos DLC introducing 30 new levels, with new mechanics and a whole new story. To celebrate Sokobos' 1st anniversary I decided to bundle the base game and the DLC together. The bundle is complete your collection type, meaning if you only own the base game, you can still get the DLC through it and save extra 10%. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/31442/Sokobos_GOLD/ Happy birthday/madeday Sokobos and many thanks to everyone who enjoyed the game!

Hello everyone, I just released a quick hotfix for Sokobos. List of changes

• Fixed a rare gate bug related to a single gate having 2+ plates where an open gate would close even though one of its plates was pressed. This most commonly occured in Aphrodite's Trial Level 15.
• Final Aphordite cutscene had a wrong text formatting in one of its lines, also fixed displaying an incorrect sprite for Nikephoros during one of its parts.

Thank you all for reporting issues and allowing me to make the game better. If you ever find new issues, please feel free to reach out on Daisy Games discord server or report it in the Steam forums. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1655890/Sokobos/

[ 2022-11-24 10:14:07 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello everyone, just updated Sokobos to version 1.1.1. Here's the list of changes

• Aphrodite's Trial - Moved the tutorial explaining interaction between Fire pots and Wooden frames to level 12 from level 11, since level 11 did not contain any Fire pots
• When you would open the Level Select in-game, if you would switch between Original and DLC levels or pages of levels a bug could occur that would return you back to menu instead of game in case you decided to back out
• Internal code clean ups

Enjoy the game! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1655890/Sokobos/

Hello everyone, I just updated Sokobos to v1.0.2. List of changes

• You can now switch between windowed/fullscreen with ALT+ENTER
• Fixed a bug where the game wouldn't save after skipping a level and not beating the new one.
• Fixed a rare bug where the gate would stay open regardless of the pressure plate's state after undoing. I will be removing some leaderboard scores on levels 41 and 53 because they were achieved using this bug. Now that the bug is fixed, they will be impossible to get.
• Added a memory cache system for game objects to fix rare short freezes when loading a new level
• Some sounds were tied to the wrong audio bus. So even if you turned Sounds down to 0, they would still play because Master was above 0
• Level 28 was missing a water texture where you are supposed to push a bridge.

Enjoy the update! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1655890/Sokobos/

Leaderboards

Menu Leaderboards would show only results up to level 20 instead of 60.

Credits

If you watched Credits till the end, the Continue button would not be clickable by mouse, forcing you to use the keyboard shortcut to "press" it and exit the credits screen.

Final Cutscene

Wall colors were the wrong color in the final cutscene. If you run into any issues, feel free to submit the bug on Steam or contact me at DaisyGamesStudio@gmail.com. Thank you and enjoy the game! - Martin
