Mikoban was built in Auroriax' fork of increpare's PuzzleScript, which is a highly specialized language specifically designed for building mechanics-centric pixel-style puzzle games that you can run in your browser.

It's also intuitive and well-designed; learning the language to a comfortable level took under a day. The rest of the time was spent creating and testing levels with some help from friends and family.
