Heavenly Bodies
Wrangle the hands and arms of a 1970s space cosmonaut and push, pull and twist your way through an increasingly precarious range of physically simulated stellar scenarios, where without gravity, nothing is still, nothing is secure, and nothing is simple.

“I sadly can't recommend this game due to no online co-op support. The concept is fun and incredibly challenging; however, I found it too challenging and confusing, even on the most basic mode. For a game like this…”

“Marmite game I would say give it 5 mins and you can tell whether you love it or hate it. A tiny bit like OctoDad but I'd say quite a lot better, although indie style and no flash cut scenes...Playing 2 player couch coop…”
“Heavenly Bodies is one of those rare games where every level feels like its own little puzzle box. Each stage has distinct tasks that make it memorable, and the challenge doesn’t come from brainteasing logic so much as…”
“Definitely worth playing on newtonian mode from the get go to experience the epic moments this gem was designed to create. Some people will definitely get frustrated by the controls and how it might take a long time to…”

“When you know it's over, just T-pose and relax in space. I recommend only Newtonian difficulty.”
“Qwop in space, but good level design and options make it forgiving enough to not become too stressful. I played through all of the included 7 levels in ~4 hours. There are collectibles and a more physics-accurate…”

“even though the game is like really confusing when you are on pc and it is controller recommended but i enjoyed it through out the levels and lore to this game.”
“25% learning about the story of what happened and completing tasks, other 75% banging your head against a wall because physics hates you”
“Will update my review but so far it's a really cool game. For people who love space and space games, I think this must be a very unique experience. My only concern is how much it will get difficult later on.”

“Amazing game, took me about 9.5 hours to 100% and was fun but mostly stressful the whole time I would say that this was probably my easiest 100% since it was just complete the game, complete extra missions, and misc.…”

“"Funstrating" Fun + Frustrating Pros: Interesting premise with a unique control scheme. Charming visuals with a neat difficulty curve. Cons: Personal gripe, You control your characters arms based on the PLAYERS perception of the characters body. Meaning, the right thumbstick…”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“I never played this alone, and can't really imagine somebody can do that, since it just feels like an experience that thrives on cooperation. Speaking of that, it should really have a third, online multiplayer option along with SP and co-op. Setting up remote play was not a big…”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Playing this either alone or multiplayer are both equally as fun, adding a listen along with Interstellar music on spotify and trying to time cool moments with the cool moments in the music just makes the experience much better.”
