We are thrilled to share that Sokobond Express, a beautifully minimalist puzzle game that combines chemical bonds and puzzling pathfinding in novel ways, is out on Steam now. Please enjoy and leave a Steam review! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1701330/Sokobond_Express/ Sokobond Express is developed by Jos Hernndez, a first time commercial developer living in Venezuela. After several years of hard work and refining the game until it felt just right, Hernndez is excited for players to finally be able to play it. Working on Sokobond Express for the last three years has been a real joy. I think the hardest thing to pull off in the game was the pacing - making levels get progressively harder while remaining engaging took a really long time. We spent a lot of time redesigning early-game levels to make them the perfect difficulty. We're really proud of how things ended up, so please check it out!- Jos Hernndez If youre a fan of other Draknek games, we know Sokobond Express will be right up your alley. It combines the pathfinding of Cosmic Express with the deep but elegant atom building from Sokobond - paying homage to its predecessors while also being an elegant and entrancing game of its own. Finally, the game is Steam Deck verified. Whether you're playing on Windows, macOS, Linux, or the Steam Deck, the game should provide a native and excellent play experience. We cant wait for you to play this puzzle masterpiece. Thanks, Draknek & Friends
