Prompt 4 - In level 4, my first go involved me just pushing the boxes to the coins, which, of course, led me to a dead-end because then the boxes were in positions that I could not get them out of, since, obviously, the rules of the game are that you can only pull a box if you are also pushing one. This rule made me have to try things many different ways, and it was rarely apparent when I was leading myself to a dead-end because you think that there are ways to recover, but the clever level design prevents you from maneuvering boxes the way you want. The only solace that I had on multiple occasions was the use of hitting ‘z,’ which let you undo your last move. If this option was not included I would have had to fully restart the level multiple times. When it came down to it, my solving the level came down to a series of trial and errors, where over time I discovered the best routes to take, which boxes to move first and where, and what things to avoid. The main thing to avoid, for me, was keeping the boxes off of the outside walls, because if you did not have another spare box that could move freely then you would have no way to recover the original box from the wall. The design of the level initially led me to believe that there would be many options or paths to take to beat it, however, over the course of my different iterations for a solution, I now believe that there are very few, if not only one, paths to completion.
