Shiren 5 Vita:Statue Cave

The Statue Cave (Japanese: ???) is a Shiren take on the classic Japanese puzzle game Sokoban in  Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate. It's accessed from the Dungeon Center in Nekomaneki Village as soon as the player reaches it.

Each puzzle contains a movable Mamel Statue that occupies one Tile and each puzzle has 1 or more of them. When Shiren hits the sides of a statue (not diagonally), if there is space available, the statue moves away from him, destroying any Item or Trap that was on that tile. The statues need to be moved to a destination tile to solve the puzzle, each puzzle has exactly the same number of statues as destination floor tiles.

Statues don't have to be moved to a single tile, and can instead be moved onto any of the destination tiles. Some puzzles begin with some statues already placed on destination spaces, though they may have to be moved elsewhere as part of the solution.

More than half the puzzles involve using these Shiren mechanics in innovative ways that would not be possible to replicate in vanilla Sokoban such as how many levels make extensive use of Switching staves, both waved and thrown while wearing a Can. Arm Bracelet, to swap places with a statue. Many other levels make use of Monsters, traps, and other items.
