What is the goal of Platfoban?
The goal of Platfoban is to collect all the coins on every level. You do this by switching between a platforming mode, where you run and jump, and a sokoban mode, where you push blocks and objects, so each level is a puzzle solved across both modes.
How do the two modes differ in Platfoban?
In Platfoban, platforming mode lets you run and jump while sokoban mode lets you push blocks, coins and other objects. The modes also change hazards: chests are sleeping platforms in platforming mode but wake as attacking monsters in sokoban mode.
Why does switching modes matter in Platfoban?
Switching modes matters in Platfoban because it changes the level itself, not just your abilities. The mode that makes a jump possible may also wake the monsters you are avoiding, so deciding when to switch is the central puzzle of every stage.
What are the chests in Platfoban?
The chests in Platfoban behave differently by mode. In sokoban mode they wake up as monsters that attack and chase you, while in platforming mode they sleep and can be used as solid platforms, making them both a threat and a tool depending on your mode.
What is the key to solving levels in Platfoban?
The key to Platfoban is planning the whole sequence before acting. Pushing a block into place in sokoban mode, then switching to platforming to leap off a sleeping chest while the monsters are harmless, is how you collect every coin and clear a level cleanly.
