Box Pusher
Move with the arrow keys or WASD, swipe on the board, or use the d-pad under it. Walk into a crate to push it one square; you can't pull, and you can't push two at once. Get every crate onto a dashed target to finish the level. Z (or Undo) takes back a move, R restarts the level.
Box Pusher — a free online arcade game on TotType
Box Pusher is the classic warehouse puzzle: a little worker, some crates, and dashed targets they need to sit on. Walking into a crate pushes it one square; you can never pull one back, and you can't push two in a row, so a crate shoved into a corner is stuck for good. That one rule is the whole puzzle. Ten hand-made levels start with a single crate and a single push and work up to routes that need planning; Undo takes back your recent moves (up to 60) and Restart resets the level, so experimenting is free. Score is levels completed. It's free in any browser with no download — anyone can try a demo run with no account, and a free parent account with a verified email unlocks unlimited play.

How to play Box Pusher
Move with the arrow keys or WASD, swipe on the board, or use the d-pad under it. Walk into a crate to push it one square; you can't pull, and you can't push two at once. Get every crate onto a dashed target to finish the level. Z (or Undo) takes back a move, R restarts the level.
Tips & tricks
- Before the first push, find where each crate has to end up and which side you need to be on to push it there.
- Never push a crate against a wall unless its target is along that wall — it can only slide along it from then on.
- Stuck? Undo is free. Take back three moves rather than restarting a level you were mostly through.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Box Pusher?
Move with the arrow keys, WASD, a swipe, or the d-pad. Walk into a crate to push it. Put every crate on a dashed target to finish the level. Press Z to undo a move and R to restart the level.
Why can't I move the crate?
Either something is behind it (a wall or another crate) or you are trying to pull. Crates only move away from you, one at a time — walk round to the other side.
How many levels are there?
Ten, from a one-push warm-up to levels that need a plan. Your best is how many you have finished, and it posts to the arcade leaderboard.
