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!

Sokobond Express is developed by José Hernández, a first time commercial developer living in Venezuela. After several years of hard work and refining the game until it felt just right, Hernández 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!”- José Hernández

If you’re 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 can’t wait for you to play this puzzle masterpiece.

Thanks,
Draknek & Friends

Today, in partnership with director Corey Martin, Draknek & Friends is thrilled to announce that Bonfire Peaks is now available, with a 10% launch discount for the first week.

After three years in development the full game is a wonderful experience with over 200 puzzles. If you've played any Draknek game before we know you'll love this as well. Bonfire Peaks is our first foray into game publishing and we couldn't be happier with the result - expect a master class in puzzle design brought to life through beautiful voxel artwork and an atmospheric soundtrack.

Some early reviews:

• "Bonfire Peaks is a gorgeous experience, with a multitude of puzzles that will challenge even the most hardened genre aficionado." - Finger Guns, 9/10
  
• "A deeply thoughtful, eminently accessible and cleverly crafted bite-sized puzzler, Bonfire Peaks has more subtle emotion, charm and smile-cracking ingenuity than most of the games that have released this year." - PSU, 9.5/10
  
• "It’s a mostly sublime experience that is somehow equally demanding and relaxing, and uncovering all of its secrets offers an opportunity to flex your brain to the max." - Retroware, 9/10
  
• EDGE, 9/10
  

Hello puzzle game fans!

We’re excited to announce that Bonfire Peaks, our first publishing venture with developer Corey Martin, will launch later this year in Q3 2021 on PC, Mac, and Linux on Steam.
