- v1.05c HT - Sokoban-Style Hint System - 12 January 2024
Due to popular demand, I have added an optional Sokoban-style hint system. Similar to how the goal of a Sokoban is to move boxes to locations marked on a level, this hint system shows locations to place boxes for the basic solutions for each level. You still must figure out how to get the boxes there and which box goes where, so this provides guidance without spoiling the solution. To enable Sokoban-style hints, press Shift + H on your keyboard. If using an Xbox controller or Steamdeck, press both triggers + X. Alternatively, you can enable these hints in the Options menu. Please provide any questions, concerns or feedback in the comments. Thanks, Doc

- Update v1.02c: New Feature - Allow floating boxes in custom levels - 8 January 2024
In the classic DOS game Block-man by Soleau Software, there were secret levels which had blocks that would hover until they have been picked up, which made for some interesting puzzles. I've implemented that feature in the latest update, so boxes placed in the air in the level editor will no longer fall as soon as the level is played. Feel free to try this new feature out and upload your custom maps to https://www.moddb.com/games/super-retro-boxbot. Thanks!
