Description

Heavenly Bodies is a game about cosmonauts, the body, and the absence of gravity.

Discover the ever-changing nuances of weightless motion in this challenging physics game. Wrangle control of your cosmonaut’s arms with the left and right thumbsticks to push, pull, and clamber through fully physically simulated scenarios aboard a scientific research station.

Your celestial duties await

You have been entrusted to bring into operation Earth’s proudest feat of engineering. With only radio contact with mission control as your aid, you will have to use your sharp mind and dexterous limbs to assemble space telescopes, maintain delicate solar arrays and research cosmic botany. But without gravity, nothing is still, nothing is secure, and nothing is simple.

Controller highly recommended

Heavenly Bodies has a highly unique movement system designed to use a dual-analog joystick controller. Rebindable keyboard and mouse controls are technically supported, but they do not provide the intended experience.

Features:

  • A collection of stellar scenarios inspired by the feats of space explorers and researchers throughout history.

  • Expressively control every limb of a weightless cosmonaut to perform challenging and delicate maneuvers.

  • Play single player or with a friend via local-coop. You'll be able to play missions either solo or with a space friend.

  • Play online with Steam's Remote Play Together.

  • Manipulate incredibly expensive space vehicles and elaborate machinery.

  • Stylised 70s visual aesthetic influenced by archival space photography and technical illustration.

  • Customisable control mode difficulty

  • Rebindable controls

If you have someone to play with, yeah, just buy it already. Its an easy laugh, accessible for everyone, and short lived. If anything it is quite short so get it on a discount.

Lovely game! I do enjoy a game that has an unconventional control scheme and this certainly has that! It reminded me of games such as 'I am Bread' although I think its less rage-inducing. I also think Newtonian mode is

I don't know if I'm the only one who has noticed it but the game isn't too bad its just the janky controls. the movement makes sense until it doesn't sometimes controls reverse when upside down causing me to completely

I'm not finished with the game yet, but after nearly 9 hours of playtime, I'm really enjoying it. Heavenly Bodies is one of those games that can make you laugh, frustrate you, and feel accomplished all within a few
