Sokobond Express is a 2024 puzzle video game developed and published by Venezuelan developer José Hernández and Draknek and Friends.[1] A spin-off of Sokobond (2013) and Cosmic Express (2017), gameplay involves drawing a path through a 2D grid, connecting atoms to create molecules and bring them to a destination.[2] Unlike Sokobond, the play area is not bound by the boundaries, and unlike Cosmic Express, orientation does not matter.[3] An expansion of a previously idea by Hernandez, Subatomic Wire, previously published on itch.io in 2020, the idea was picked up by Draknek & Friends, and the game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux on 22 February 2024.[4]
