### 4/5 — They Made Me Kill Vampire 😩

*2026-04-19*

They hook you with a sad story of some poor zombie and vampire getting kicked off the train. So you solve 80 tracks to make sure you get these undead folks home. Suddenly, you get to Impish Inferno and you're forced into escorting pig-like imps and having them burn vampires to ash.

It's such a fun, relaxing game. But, I have to say that it really ruined the coziness of it all for me. Had they not done that, it would be five-star.

### 5/5 — Bien

*2025-12-06*

Le jeu propose pas mal de contenu gratuit avant d’avoir à débloquer le reste. Jeu original et plutôt beau.

### 5/5 — Gentle puzzler

*2025-11-24*

I struggle with puzzle games but this game has a gentle learning curve, a minimalist but helpful tip system, and fun audio that stays out of the way, making it easy to keep working until I figure it out. Fun!

### 5/5 — ワンライン❓

*2025-11-21*

何これ‼️あなどるなかれ時間がとけます⏰頭の体操の上位レベルUIも素敵キャラクターもかわいいし‼️是非皆さんにおすすめします決してハズレ無しの作品です時間泥棒に気おつけて下さい⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

### 5/5 — Puzzle Greatness

*2025-11-18*

Not surprising for this team but this game absolutely delivers. Great visuals, even better game design, … it’s a joy to play and to solve. The top tier of mobile games these days.

### 5/5 — Bom

*2025-11-17*

Bombom

### 3/5 — Not Free

*2025-11-16*

You get around a third of the levels for free. Otherwise, it's 5.99 for the full game. Of the levels provided, I was able to figure out most of them myself, but some proved too much for me.

### 5/5 — 와 너무 재미있어요

*2025-11-14*

게다가 다깨서 아쉬우려고 하면 새로운 퍼즐이 생겨요 
그런데 게임을 나갔다 들어오면 소리가 사라지는 버그가 있어요

### 5/5 — Needs better hints

*2025-11-08*

Other than needing better hints, it's a great puzzle game with spooky vibes.

### 3/5 — There is a bug in the second level.

*2025-11-07*

Is the train in the second level going in the wrong direction? Even if it's delivered, it can't pass through. It's a bug, right? I saw other comments also raised this issue. I like the character style but it's a pity I can't continue playing.

**Developer response:** Hi, there is not a bug. You can pick up and drop off passengers from all four sides of a tile; you need to draw the track so that you've picked up and dropped off the zombie before passing the zombie's starting tile.

### 4/5 — 良いパズルゲーム！

*2025-11-07*

面白い。この会社の他のゲームも面白いのでお勧め。
ただバッテリーの減りが多いかも？

### 5/5 — My favourite Draknek game so far

*2025-11-03*

Very good level design with interesting solutions. The rail mechanics keeps the puzzles small enough but the dynamic nature of how the characters interact makes it complex enough to be surprising.

I don’t really know why I enjoy these levels more than cosmic express even though I probably prefer the other theme - but it is a joy to solve.

### 5/5 — Perfect for Halloween

*2025-11-02*

Amazing puzzle game with challenge levels that can match any interest or skill. Highly recommend.

### 3/5 — Cool game but lame hints, can’t progress

*2025-10-30*

Let me preface this by saying that I play a LOT of puzzle games and I am generally pretty good at them, but getting past the second set of levels of this game (which I paid to access) seems impossible. Even more frustrating is the fact that you only get one (not super helpful) hint per level and there’s no way to earn or unlock any more. Feeling like I wasted my $

### 1/5 — Kein Offline Mode

*2025-11-23*

Das Spiel kann nicht gestartet werden, wenn man offline (Flugmodus und kein WLAN) ist. Scheinbar will „Game Center“ unbedingt das man online ist (obwohl nicht angemeldet). Sehr schade, denn das Spiel ist super toll…. Aber nur 1 Stern weil mal nicht offline spielen kann :-(

### 1/5 — Не грузит!!!

*2025-11-02*

Не грузит приложение, кольцо загрузки висит на половине уже вторые сутки!!! Отзывы заинтриговали и очень охота попробовать эту игру, но даже не могу загрузить! Как быть не знающую и что делать? Отмены загрузки тоже нет!

### 1/5 — Can’t get passed level two, no way to deliver zombies and vampire

*2025-10-26, version 1.0.3*

WHY IS LEVEL TWO SO HARD

### 1/5 — Crashes on startup.

*2025-10-21, version 1.0.2*

iPad Pro 2017. Don’t let me download the game if it’s not going to work.

### 2/5 — cannot buy！！！！！

*2026-07-02, version 1.0.4*

so sad！！！！！see me！！！

### 2/5 — I did not have fun

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.4*

The train is to hard to control and the help button didn’t help me

### 2/5 — No sound

*2025-10-29, version 1.0.3*

Is there a sound in game or is it problem of my device? Ios 26.1 beta4

### 2/5 — A problem with second board

*2025-10-21*

For some reason the track won’t finish on the second board tried the hint button an redid it an still will not complete.

**Developer response:** Hi, you need to deliver the zombie to the grave. We'll look into ways to give better feedback here.

### 3/5 — Muito fofo porém poucas fases gratuitas

*2026-05-04*

O jogo é muito fofo e interessante, a pequena narrativa, personagens e trilha sonora é perfeita, contudo grande parte do jogo só é disponível após pagar (200 fases que só são acessadas se pagarem) cheguei em uma parte que eu não consigo prosseguir jogando pq tenho que pagar para isso. Minha única reclamação, de resto é ótimo.

### 3/5 — Be Aware! Demons portrayed in game.

*2026-04-29*

Really sad about this. Excellent gameplay. Cute little Halloween characters, not my thing, but seemed harmless. But as game Progresses, it shows Demons and Pentagram-adjacent imagery. I guess I should have known better.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game

*2026-07-14*

I love the art style, this game is really fun and I recommend.

### 5/5 — A+

*2026-06-19*

Draknek are masters of the puzzle game and this is their best yet. It has all of the best elements of their old games – a sense of humor, a cute concept, intuitive level design that teaches you the game concepts, and extremely tough puzzles. Because of the way they've designed the level paths you can complete the game even if the toughest puzzles stymie you, which I think is a great compromise for  accessibility + puzzle, nerd enjoyment. And those little characters are so damn cute!

### 5/5 — Amazing game bruh

*2026-04-17, version 1.0.4*

It’s literally the best game known to man, and as a Halloweeniac, I must say, this is a great game, perfect amount of challenging and fun!!!🎃

### 5/5 — Милота

*2026-02-27*

.

### 5/5 — Quebra cabeças esperto

*2026-02-05*

Não é difícil a ponto de empacar, mas é o suficiente pra ser desafiador.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-01-04*

Spooky Express is than its predecessor, Cosmic Express, in my opinion! 

Really enjoying this. Could be a great physical tabletop puzzle game, too. Perhaps :))

Bonus: I am playing on my iPhone with a foldable bluetooth keyboard. It's fun and fast. Just works.  H key toggles hints on and off. Great advantage of having it work the same between desktop and mobile. And makes my keyboard a controller :)

### 5/5 — Much like Cosmic Express

*2026-01-04*

But a few new fun mechanics. Very smooth play here. If you found CosmicExpress difficult, this will be very much the same. Both have ability to unlock all puzzles. I’ve never been able to complete CE without resorting to walkthrough. Hint system here is pretty much useless tho. Still a very challenging, fun-when-you-get-it game.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-01-03, version 1.0.4*

Great game, and helps the mind think more

### 5/5 — So much FUN!

*2026-01-02*

Downloaded because it looked cute. Pleasantly surprised at how much fun it is to figure out the routes. Plenty of levels to keep you entertained. Levels of difficulty are just right. Not too easy and not so hard that you want to delete the game. Made me purchase the full version. My only issue is that the app crashes quite frequently. Guessing that will be addressed at the next update.

### 5/5 — Very cute, good puzzles

*2025-12-17*

The characters are cute, the little comics between scenes are funny, and the puzzles are challenging but not frustrating.
