Description
Sokobond Express is a beautifully minimalist puzzle game that combines chemical bonds and puzzling pathfinding in novel ways. Leverage your strategic planning skills, visualizing your end destination ahead of time and adapting to the game’s growing complexities in order to maximize your opportunities for success.
As the game progresses and you learn new tools and mechanics, you’ll have to experiment and consistently reconsider the space around you as your plan inevitably combusts and you must reevaluate your path forward.
Thoughtfully curated and surprisingly deep, Sokobond Express takes the guesswork out of chemistry, letting you feel like a chemist without requiring any upfront chemistry knowledge.

History
Sokobond Express is developed by Jose Hernandez, based out of Venezuela. This is his first commercial release.
The game is based on a free game called Subatomic Wire, which was developed over six weeks and launched on itch.io. Draknek & Friends noticed the game and immediately loved its deep and perplexing mechanics as well as how it integrated Cosmic Express and the original Sokobond game in such an engaging and innovative way.
Originally connecting with Jose via Twitter and with a desire to develop the game further, Draknek & Friends funded and published what is now being released as Sokobond Express.
During development over the last couple of years with Jose at the helm as the game’s director and Draknek & Friends providing mentorship, the game has paid homage to its predecessors while becoming an elegant and entrancing game of its own.
