OK so it has 1 screen and no fluff... The object it to push the crates on to the green targets... You use the mouse to manuver the orange blob.

You can climb on crates to push the second one... Yuo can push diagonally as well.

I may actually make this better... I just wanted to see if it would work first!

No fancy end routines... you get all four crates on the targets and it makes an Ah-Oooo-Gah! horn noise...

note that "soko" means "store(house)" or "stock", and "ban" is a "row",
so the name is direktly connected with the gameplay.
also, a "soroban" is an "abacus", the name of the game is a wordplay aswell.

"Bop" has no meaning in Japanese, I'm curious what Rook meant...

You have to BOP the crates to move them!

BOP is slang in Texas for "to hit with minimum force, usually on top of the head" and is used in an affectionate way.

"I am gonna BOP you one!" you would say to a friend or loved one... when you wanted to act gruff and grumpy... not that you would actually BOP the loved one!

or

"He deserves a BOP upside the head!" which means: Someone needed to whack him one because he just don't think right; but he is my friend and if he gets one... it will be me that does it!

Thats it... a small wordplay on SokoBAN... Warehouse BOP!
