Who would have expected demons?

When Ardos Balmung found himself in the ruins of Greifenhausen, he found all the soulstones removed from their banishing circles by a supernatural quake. If he cannot move them back and neutralise the demons inside, inferno may break loose!

Help Ardos push all the soulstones onto rune circles in this puzzle game based on the classic Sokoban, but watch out: as in the popular classic, stones can only be pushed and not pulled, so try to avoid unwinnable situations that would surely spell doom as you uncover the right sequence of moves. Open gates, avoid roaming ghosts, and when all challenges are mastered, use the Level Creator to create your own for more fun!

22 Jun 2025	Soko Banish 1.6.1b - More Fixes
Trying a mini-update for Soko Banish! Version 1.6.1b restores the Darkness effect used in some levels, which broke in a previous update, and fixes a bug introduced in 1.6.1 with the game no longer remembering the selected level when exiting to level select. There is a tiny patch to upgrade from 1.6.1 for these fixes (or a larger one to upgrade from 1.5.1 or 1.6.0), so go grab it!
