OK, I got it running - here are my comments:

1. I already noted the executable name change which I think is undesirable.

2. The game themes are lacking. The ASCII art skin is too simplistic and the 
ants theme is pretty unusable. Perhaps someone (me?) needs to port the old 
KSokoban theme to SVG and Magazynier and/or create other themes.

3. I don't like the fact that I cannot restart a board using Esc or a menu 
command to restart. Pressing Ctrl+Z repeatedly until all moves are undone is 
annoying.

4. After I finish a board, I am prompted for the high score. Then after I did 
that, there's a notice that says I need to press the next level to go to the 
next level. This is too much work just in order to progress. After you 
finished a KSokoban layout, it just said "Congratulations" and moved to the 
next level after a few seconds.

5. When entering a new board to solve, it won't accept a digit higher than the 
ones I already solved. I think you should let the user input it and then 
prompt that the board number is too high and one should solve all previous 
boards before that.

That's what I saw so far.
