Chemical puzzling in a Sokobond Express screenshot.

What happens when you combine two great puzzle games? You get one puzzle game which makes me, an accredited professional fool, feel dizzy with noncomprehension. That game isSokobond Express, which launched yesterday and combines the atom-shoving chemistry ofSokobondwith the route-planning puzzling ofCosmic Express. So you have to draw paths around a grid to gather atoms to correctly build a desired molecule. That’s all. Just molecular chemistry and pathing, at the same time. Oh, my poor foolish head.

Sokobond Express is out now onSteamandItch.iofor Windows, Mac, and Linux. A 10% launch discount brings the price down to £11.51/€13.31/$13.49 until the 7th of March.

Disclosure/COOL BONUS: One of the game’s writers is Pip Warr, our former RPS colleague and my dear friend. Pip, you know how I am, should I play this? It feels like I’ll come griping to you about being stuck and you’ll go “Al, you’ve clearly seen the credits, so why are you coming to me about puzzle design?” and I’ll go “Uggggghhhhhh” and you’ll go “Want to PowerWash something?” and I’ll go “Yes please” so should we skip to that step? We still haven’t hosed down Lara Croft’s theropod, not to mention Marty McFly’s vest.
