The premise, in the publisher's words

The player controls the character "Rabi-Kun", and must push various crates over the yellow dots in order to complete the game's fifty-five stages (divided into five "worlds") in that stage's time limit. Rabi-Kun can only push the crates, and he cannot pull them; and should one of the crates reach an unmoveable position, the player may simply push the "reverse" button to undo one of the player's moves.
