About Cosmic Express
All aboard the Cosmic Express, a delightfully brain-melting game where the puzzles are out of this world! Your job is to lay down the train tracks across a series of tiny space stations. Each alien has a home of their own, and there’s only room for one extraterrestrial at a time in the passenger car. It's cute, harder than it looks, and guaranteed to give you hours of challenging fun across hundreds of levels.
- Fiendishly difficult puzzle design from master puzzle creator Alan Hazelden (A Monster’s Expedition, Sokobond)
- Ultra-adorable graphics created by Tyu Orphinae (Klondike Collective)
- Relaxing ambient soundtrack by Nick Dymond (Maia, The Colonists)

A clever puzzle game with a simple premise: draw train tracks to pick up and drop off passengers. The puzzles gradually become more challenging and can lead to some satisfying "aha!" moments, though a few levels felt more frustrating than fun. The minimalist presentation works well, and while it didn't completely blow me away, it's a solid puzzle game that's worth checking out if you enjoy the genre.7 found this helpful
This game overstays it's welcome, badly. After a dozen puzzles or so it feels repetitive. This gets worse as the difficulty goes up, because it's very hard to think through the larger boards without brute forcing some attempts, I never really felt like I was solving something, just working on it until something went right. The difficulty curve is all over the place. Some of the hardest puzzles in the game are in the first area, and you're supposed to go back and forth between areas, but they aren't numbered in such a way that leads you to that conclusion! You'll end up jumping into something way over your head unknowingly, and if you manage it, you'll find the next puzzle a cakewalk comparatively. When I'm jumping into a puzzle game, I'm not expecting to have to guess which levels I'm supposed to play. Maybe I'm just bad at it, but I find this game extremely difficult to enjoy.4 found this helpful

Difficult but fun puzzle game. Takes around 20 hours to 100%. Some of the later puzzles do feel more like trying every possible option until something works, in contrast to other puzzle games I've played where you can arrive at solutions in a more logical manner. However this is the very last few levels and the majority of the game is quite fun.
Similar to Sokobans with 100+ moves laying tracks can just up the difficulty by making the grid super big. It's something you don’t realize until you get burned. At least the visuals are nice looking.
