It's an alright puzzle game, but it feels a bit like sudoku(trial and error) at times, instead of a than a proper puzzle game. 6/10

About the Game
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)

Fantastic game! Many puzzles at various difficulty levels, that will keep you playing for quite a while so it's very good value. Most are easy to moderate but a few are very hard, especially the 2nd Easter eggs bunch are insanely hard (I am still working on these lol) Overall the this variaty of difficulty, felt just right for me. If you get stuck on one you can go work on another so it's not a big deal. (The game doesn't force you to do them in a specific order) Graphics and sound are simple but cute. UI is responsive. Overal, I highly recommand.
definitely extremely frustrating at times, but is absolutely worth it when you realize the trick or key to the puzzle you're solving. full of aesthetically pleasing and clever puzzles that require you think creatively in context to each constellation/puzzle group without being overwhelmingly difficult (for the most part).
I have such mixed opinions on this game. I want to like it, and I'll likely keep trying to play it, but its far less satisfying than the other train-based puzzle games I've played (e.g. Railbound). I tend to like Draknek games, but this one just doesn't land for me, and I've tried picking it up multiple times now. In the puzzles, all you do is place down tracks (of which a limitless number are provided). There's only one train per level (at least, where I am at in the game) and tracks can't intersect or do anything other than go straight / turn (other than at special per-level locations), so the game is just about drawing a line from point A to point B that touches the passenger pick-up and drop-off points. Because of this, puzzles exist in exactly two forms: small and so obvious that you'd get them in a minute or two, or large and so open that you could spend 30 minutes drawing potential paths given the sample space. If the number of rails given was limited (such as how is done in R...
