    In case you missed it: we just announced our next game, Spooky Express! If you're familiar with Cosmic Express, you'll find this to be more approachable with even deeper puzzles. If you didn't play that, don't worry - this is a completely standalone game.

    Spooky Express is announced on my birthday! But let's not go out of track. I'm working on the level design for the game and I cannot wait for you to see the potential of the mechanics, less topological and more playful than the original Cosmic Express. Don't be scared to wishlist it!

    I playtested this game and can confirm: it is at least twice as good as Cosmic Express. Perhaps thrice as good, even.

    Going to be beating this drum a lot: Sokobond Express is coming out on February 22nd! store.steampowered.com/app/1701330/... Please give it a wishlist and share the news. We're still hearing from fans of Sokobond / Cosmic Express who had no idea this game was coming, so every share helps!

    Spooky Express is such an underappreciated game - if you liked Cosmic Express or Sokobond Express, it's like that except even better IMO.

  • Mike Cook @mtrc.bsky.socialBluesky · Aug 17, 2025

    This is a really elegant puzzle game - I always found Cosmic Express the hardest of Draknek's games (for my brain at least) but this makes all the right changes for me and felt so good to play when I tried it earlier this year. Get excited! Buy it for your friends!

    Had a little leftover time last weekend to stream more Cosmic Express. Given its adorable style and simple presentation I thought the game might aim to be light and easy, but some of the puzzles pose a tough but fun challenge! Someone tell the green aliens to bathe please! youtu.be/1oLnsEheDLY?...

    Spooky Express: A really amazing evolution of Cosmic Express, a game I loved but was unbelievably shit at. This is clever, approachable, a great difficulty ramp, in a beautiful package. And the zombies don't say "brains" they say "trains", it's perfect. store.steampowered.com/app/3352310/...

    Every Draknek game is a banger, and while Spooky Express is going to be very familiar to Cosmic Express fans, the vibes are immaculate. The aesthetics are perfect. Best game I've played on mobile this year.

  • Sarah Hertzke @shietka.bsky.socialBluesky · Oct 19, 2025

    Spooky Express is the next @draknek.bsky.social game, and a sequel of sorts to Cosmic Express. Same basic puzzle type, but with a new cute spooky aesthetic that also adds new spooky mechanics like frightening or transforming humans. Fantastic as always, with lots of wonderful touches. #SteamNextFest

    for the last couple of years, whenever i pull my switch out and wanna puzzle, i've been working on finishing Cosmic Express. the folks who made that game are a real bunch of bastards. real fucked up riddler types. total sickos. can't recommend it enough if you wanna frustrate your gray matter lol

    Things have been busy but last weekend I had time to stream a little more Cosmic Express. I've gotten far into the game, but seem to have one system still locked off. With a goal locked in early on, how far will I get before Halloween streams start next week? www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5qf...

    Tried out Cosmic Express, a delightful little chill puzzle game about pathing space trains to deliver alien passengers in space. I love the way it conveys everything it needs without text and what I've seen of how it manages difficulty. Plus, the vibes are immaculate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwPt...

    Lastly we had Matthew McConnell presenting on a poster on generating levels for a Cosmic Express-like game using a genetic algorithm informed by player modelling! I got to try this at the demo session, and found the generated levels to be interesting and sometimes a bit challenging!

    No previous experience expected! This is a standalone game - if anything, Spooky Express might make for a good intro before someone playing Cosmic Express.

    With its cozy vibe, bite-sized levels, and intuitive gameplay (literally, draw a line) you'd think that Cosmic Express would be a chill game. But it is, in fact, evil.

    Alan is an incredible game developer (huge rec if you want someone who specializes in puzzle design), and an absolutely wonderful person. Absolutely worth checking out D&F. My game rec: Cosmic Express! Cute, difficult, interesting game about train track design: cosmicexpressgame.com

    8. LOK Digital - brilliant puzzle game that essentially teaches you a foreign language. It's magical. 7. Squeakross - maybe the best Picross game in the last decade 6. Spooky Express - They took Cosmic Express, made it punch you in the face less, and added cute spooky things. 10/10

    Sokobond Express is my game of the year. Immensely satisfying puzzles. "Okay so first there was Sokobond, and that's a little play on words with 'sokoban', ha ha, okay but also Cosmic Express. So then they combined both to make a molecular train game..." store.steampowered.com/app/1701330/...

    Subatomic Wire (from Jose Hernandez): A unique take on the "trace the path"-like game (idk the term for that), with a lot of good logics, and way easier to go through than Cosmic Express from Draknek. Yet, I'm hyped for Sokobond Express !
