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

Absolutely amazing game if you like the idea of space and doing tasks in 0g. Would definitely recommend finding a friend to play with and also picking up the DLC (its better than the main game in my opinion)

game is good if you buy it for $3 BUT it's inexcusable that the devs haven't figured out online coop gameplay. Forcing the user to use remote play is a form of torture. Took 4h to beat the game with a friend via remote

I've seen so many others play it, and it's one of those games that you see someone play and think "Come on, I can do better than that" only to get very frustrated and struggle just as much. I want to play it again to

Good fun. Couch co-op is the way to do it. Play Newtonian mode for the intended experience.

The game feels like a gem for families who want some co-op gaming on a single screen. I play this with my 9-year-old son and non-gamer wife.
