Fantastic line puzzler with lots of interplay between new mechanics. End game content will really stretch your circuit-routing chops.

A very fine puzzle game. The first half of the game is challenging but possible to solve quite quickly through trial and error. I come back and mull over the difficult ones, slowly chipping away at it.

What a gem. It's difficult to do simple puzzles well, and this game does simple puzzles well. This game gives you everything you need to succeed. There's no random chance and no hidden information. Everything is completely fair. And that, more than anything, is what's going to make you want to throw your mouse / laptop / phone out the window when you get stuck on some of these levels.

The gameplay is extremely simple, you just draw a single rail. However, the game is surprisingly challenging. I've had many moments when I thought "this level is impossible, I've tried everything", only for it to finally click. At some point, levels becomes to complex to figure the whole solution in your head and you have to try something, fail, and try again. At the very end (Nova 7's), it becomes more frustrating than fun in my opinion, but Cosmic Express is still very much worth it if you're into hard puzzle games. I just wished the game was more optimized for controllers & Steam Deck. It's playable, but a few tweaks could have gone a long way.

I loved this game! Simple and easy controls! Even though I can only complete a couple of levels each time (my brain will heat up and burn if I play this too long), it was a good pace and I enjoyed it very much!
