Sasquatch V Levels Added July 17, 2002 David Skinner released this fifth level set in his Sasquatch series in December, 2001. This set includes several levels that are so large they can only be played in Sokoban for the Mac version 2.5 (which you can download from the home page). I haven't played these levels yet, so that's all I can say for now.

Minicosmos Levels Added Nov 13, 2001 Minicosmos Levels, created by Aymeric du Peloux. Aymeric has created another level set in the tradition of Microcosmos. He says this set is for beginners because the levels have only 2 or 3 stones. But I still found them interesting, even though I'm an experienced player. Many of the levels come in pairs: a relatively easy level with 2 stones, followed by a more challenging level with the same layout and an extra stone. This is a nice way of providing hints.

Sasquatch IV Levels Added July 15, 2001 Prolific level author David Skinner released this set in March, 2001. He says this set ranges in difficulty from medium to very hard, like his Sasquatch III set. David has included a wide variety of puzzle types, from small to large, with a few decorative (but still challenging) levels.

Nabokosmos Levels Added July 15, 2001 Nabokosmos Levels, copyright 2001 by Aymeric du Peloux and included here with his permission. Aymeric, author of the Microcosmos levels, has created another set of small, tricky levels. Many of these levels have only 4 or 5 stones, yet are quite challenging. Sure to please all Sokoban fans.

David Holland's dh1 Added June 19, 2001 David Holland has created a set of ten challenging levels. I've only solved four of them so far. David describes the puzzles this way: "Some of the small puzzles had starting stone positions and solution generated by the computer program sokgen, but maze and goal positions designed by David Holland, the author of sokgen. These puzzles are generally pretty hard (David Holland has trouble solving them :-) and the non-computer-generated puzzles should be light relief. The puzzles are arranged in roughly ascending order of difficulty." For more about these puzzles, visit David's web page.

David Holland's dh2 Added June 19, 2001 This is David Holland's second set of 10 levels. He describes them like this "There are no computer-generated levels as I am trying to evolve a puzzle-making style, and so experimenting with as many different forms as possible. Some of the puzzles are very, or slightly, symmetrical as a stylistic device (in this I am influenced by David W. Skinner's excellent sasquatch puzzle sets). Others are completely unsymmetrical and the style is in the variations alone. The puzzles are arranged in roughly ascending order of difficulty." For more about these puzzles, visit David's web page.

Sasquatch III Levels Added Dec 30, 2000 David Skinner has created yet another wonderful set of sokoban levels. He describes them this way: This set ranges in difficulty from medium to very hard. Thirty one of these levels explore some form of design symmetry. It is interesting (to me at least) to solve levels in which sections are reversed or rotated. Each transformation often suggests different approaches to the solution. However, sometimes the confusion created requires that each section be solved from scratch. Sometimes, I find levels in my earlier sets which I would do differently today. Included here are improved versions of two previous levels.

Microcosmos Levels Added Dec 6, 2000 Microcosmos Levels, created by Aymeric du Peloux. It's amazing how much difficulty Amyeric packs into such small levels. At first glance, the levels look very easy. Then you try one, and it seems impossible. Eventually you figure out the trick and solve the level.

Microban Levels David Skinner, author of the "Sasquatch" and "Mas Sasquatch" collections, released his latest set of sokoban levels in February, 2000 and revised them in April, 2000. He describes them this way: Microban is a set of very small puzzles which have been slowly developing in-between creating puzzles for my regular sets. This is a good set for beginners and children. Most of the puzzles illustrate a particular concept. More experienced players should also find them interesting, since they are as different from each other as I could make them given their size. Sokoholics could perhaps time themselves on completing the whole set. This set also contains puzzles which I thought were interesting but too easy to include in my regular sets.

Yoshio Murase Levels These sokoban screens were made automatically by computer. Yosio Murase wrote the program that created these levels and then made the levels available on his sokoban web pages. For information about the theory behind the creation of these levels, see Yoshio Murase, Hitoshi Matsubara, and Yuzuru Hiraga Automatic Making of Sokoban Problems, which was presented at the Pacific Rim Conference on AI in 1996. These levels are small (no more than 8x8), and contain only 3 stones to push, but can be delightfully tricky and surprisingly difficult to solve.

Sasquatch Levels David Skinner released this collection of 50 original levels in January, 1999. He calls them "Sasquatch". The levels are generally of just the right difficulty to be fun: not too easy, but (usually) not so hard that you get frustrated.

Here are the over 200 levels included with my Macintosh Sokoban program. Macintosh users don't need them; users of other platforms might want to look at them.
Note I no longer distribute the Boxxle and IQ Carrier levels because they are evidently still sold commercially in Japan.
