App Store edition · Researched Nov 13, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 13, 2026.

Source facts

What is the primary objective in each stage?

Your goal is to take on the role of Tawarakichi and push every bale onto a designated cushion. Once all bales are correctly positioned on their cushions, the stage is cleared and you can move forward.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How do I control Tawarakichi?

Movement is simple and intuitive. You just need to flick on your screen to move Tawarakichi around the storehouse. Use these movements to position yourself correctly to push the bales toward the cushions.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What should I do if I make a mistake during a puzzle?

If you find yourself stuck or have made a move you regret, you can use the undo feature. You are also free to restart the stage as many times as you like without any penalties.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How can I get help if I am struggling with a difficult stage?

If you are stuck, you can use the hint system. Tawarakichi will carry a bale directly to a cushion, providing a helpful visual nudge to show you the correct path forward for that specific puzzle.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Are there different types of items to push as I progress?

Yes, the goods change as you advance through the storehouses. You will move beyond rice bales to manage sake casks, charcoal, miso barrels, and even treasure boxes, each requiring careful planning to store away.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

What kind of new mechanics should I expect in later storehouses?

As you progress, you will encounter new tricks that change how you solve puzzles. These include icy floors that affect movement, color-matched bales, pit holes to avoid, and warp tiles that transport you across the map.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How do I unlock new storehouses?

You can track your progress through the game's interface, which clearly displays the requirements for unlocking the next storehouse. It shows exactly which storehouse you must clear and how many stages remain to gain access.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

Is it possible to accidentally restart a stage and lose progress?

No, the game includes a confirmation dialog that appears when you tap the restart button. This safety feature ensures that an accidental tap does not wipe out your current progress on a stage.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

How is my performance measured after clearing a stage?

After you clear a stage, you are rated against the shortest possible solution. You can use this feedback to chase a perfect run, which is a great goal for fans of classic box-pushing puzzles.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Can I play the game without an internet connection?

Yes, the game works entirely offline. This makes it a convenient choice for enjoying calm, Japanese-style brain teasers whenever you have a moment, regardless of whether you have access to a stable network connection.
