Description

Cosmic Express is a puzzle game about planning the train route for the world's most awkward space colony, from the minds behind A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build and the art of Tyu from Klondike. It's cute, harder than it looks, and guaranteed to give you hours of frustrating fun across hundreds of levels.

No in-app-purchases or ads.

Great game, needs some documentation though. I passed a level but the star is silver instead of gold and wont connect to the next cluster with no explanation why. Edit - I had to find a solution guide online and now I feel stupid for not noticing the reason :) Props (and a 5th star) for responding without spoiling the puzzle!

Cosmic Express is such a simple, smart, cute and fiendish little puzzler with some real surprises up its sleeve. It's non-linear so when you get stuck (there's no if!) you can have a break and try different puzzles. It works perfectly on your phone and is worth every penny.

Raven Corvus

One of the best puzzlegames I played. It will keep you chalenged for many hours. Especially the later zones and the secret levels are complicated. But it never forces you to do the hard levels, you can also take a break on an easier path for a while.

I've been a fan since I discovered A Good Snowman and Sokobond, and Cosmic Express certainly doesn't disappoint! The art style is incredibly well done and the mechanics are simple yet very clever, with just enough open-endedness to really give you that awesome satisfaction of having worked out a problem yourself. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a great, high quality puzzle game!

Electron Dance

Despite my fear of claustrophobic puzzles where you're juggling with limited space (hello Sokoban) this is absolutely magic. Many hours of puzzle work lie ahead of you - such depth to this game. Hopefully you won't be like me and be stuck on Andromeda 14 for weeks. Hopefully.

Jenn Sandercock

Challenging, fun. Good to have lots of different options when I get stuck. Reminds me of The Witness, but this is much better designed in that it builds me up slowly and helps me know what to try next.

Hi, glad you're enjoying the game! I know that behaviour seems weird, but I promise it'll become clear when you find other levels that do the same thing, or spot what's different about that level.

This is a great game. Lots of levels, some of them a bit tricky! But at any point there is always a variety of levels to choose from. Graphics are a bit flat though and could do with a bit of a polish!

Aaron Montgomery April 17, 2017

This game is incredible. It is easily the best puzzle game I have ever played for mobile. It is deceptively hard but with a good difficulty curve. A must-get for people who like real puzzle games.

Ross Mansfield April 9, 2017

Very clever and hard puzzles! Price is good value, there are a lot of puzzles with varied mechanics and many will take a long time to figure out.

Sandy S July 2, 2017

Perfect challenge level, and many hours of fun and interesting gameplay. I couldn't have been happier with this game.

Sally Bridgwater May 29, 2017

Cute graphics with really hard puzzles. Plenty to try so never feels too frustrating.

Max Lichtenstein May 2, 2017

Fantastic.

Alex May March 20, 2017

Alan is a friend of mine, so obviously I'm biased. But I really love his games. As objectively as I can, I think they feature a lot of character and puzzles that will melt your mind, along with some amazing secret stuff that's even harder. This one's wonderful, and a step up in size, graphics, and sound from A Good Snowman is Hard to Build, with the same great attention to how the brain figures out puzzles and deep exploration of what's possible given a set of puzzle rules.

Chris Hunter March 16, 2017

A ridiculously fun and horribly addictive game. The fact the aliens look like penguins only enhances the game. Simple to pick up but with a huge amount of playability and variety.

Chuck N March 18, 2017

Great game, tough. Nice touches like cloud save, unlock all levels, etc. I really enjoy it, $5 is too much though.

Jeff Tease March 16, 2017

Great little game. A little expensive.

Tough game, exposing all my inadequacies in laying tracks.
