I didn't realize that Order of the Sinking Star licensed a bunch of other Sokoban games. Here's a level from Alan Hazelden's 2015 game "Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes" and its reproduction in Order of the Sinking Star.

Order of the Sinking Star is out now! It’s been an incredible honour to compose the music for this massive and groundbreaking puzzle game. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Martin Stig Andersen and Hans Christian Kock for almost six years. Thanks Thekla and Jon!

I came onto the project pretty late. But I have probably worked harder in the past year than I ever have. I hope people will enjoy the game. When you're as close to it as I am, it's hard to see anything but the flaws, but I do hope people will appreciate all that we managed to do
