Overview[]
In Shove It! the Sokoban puzzles are separated into "levels", with each level featuring ten unique puzzles. The player can play each of the ten puzzles on a level in any order, advancing to the next level once all ten are completed. The American version of the game features 160 puzzles, while the Japanese version features 250 puzzles; the US release removes most of the tougher puzzles. The undo and rewind mechanics from Boxxle return for this game, along with the reset mechanic introduced in Boxy Boy.
Story[]
Japanese Version[]
One day, Rom-kun went out to town in his beloved minicar. It was the perfect weather for a drive. He stopped at a traffic light and looked to the side, where he saw a beautiful girl walking by that was just his type. Rom-kun knew that if he missed this chance, he wouldn't have another chance, so he mustered up the courage to call out to her. What should he do?
She doesn't seem completely opposed to the idea. Just then, another car stopped. It's Kum-kun's Sports Car. She got into the car without hesitation. As the car drives off, Rom-kun vows to save up money and buy the most expensive car.

You're Stevedore the warehouseman, an over-muscled, intelligent type of guy with a taste for hard work. Around the docks they like you because you can shove the crates and boxes into place in even the most crowded and confusing warehouses! You've been working overtime lately because you want a new sports car. The problem is ... this girl!
You've got an ordinary car. It used to be everything you wanted. But one day you were out for a cruise and saw the girl of your dreams. She was beautiful! You asked her to go for a ride and she was about to go when this idiot with a fancy red sports car drove up out of nowhere. Of course the girl thought she would look better in the sports car, so you were left eating the idiot's dust. Though the hair rose on the back of your neck, you kept your cool and began considering your options.
The obvious thing would be to dump the girl like that! But you see her as a challenge. To win this babe you'll have to get the hottest, most luxurious sports car ever made! Chrome wheels, shiny paint job, leather interior, a stereo they can hear in the next county and a motor that will move you like a rocket!
Too bad, cars like that don't come for free. You've decided to put in some overtime and we've given you a series of 160 warehouse rooms that are a mover's nightmare! More boxes than you can possibly believe to be moved to specific locations in each warehouse. But the trick is, certain boxes have to be moved first so all of them will fit. It will be fun ... exciting ... challenging... or it could drive you up the wall!
Just think, maintain your cool, move each box to the its right place in the warehouse and the brand new car... and the girl... will be yours! But fail to move the boxes and you'll be stuck with the same old car and a lot of lonely nights at the drive in movies! Now your time card has been punched, so get to work!
