    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    Overall, Heavenly Bodies is a triumphant puzzle game. Its setting and premise are novel and excellently executed. The games succinct 5-7 playtime allows the game to not overstay its welcome and the excellent theming gives sensibility to what would otherwise be wholly nonsensical mechanics. Heavenly Bodies is a welcome addition to an already vibrant indie puzzle scene.

    It is, in many ways, an exercise in frustration. But it’s a far more controlled one than QWOP or Getting Over It. Those games leave me feeling useless, unable to achieve, always thwarted. But Heavenly Bodies makes its goals possible, and a sense of progress always available. It is, ultimately, a chapter-based puzzle game, intended for you to win. That’s crucial.

    Heavenly Bodies has a single task: to make us struggle with gravity. Our astronaut must drag, throw, grab, pull, press and more, with the ultimate goal of getting a series of abandoned space stations back on their feet. If you're not afraid to put yourself to the test and are ready for a low gaming pace, we recommend it.

    Heavenly Bodies is a surprisingly enjoyable physics-based puzzle game about an astronaut fixing a space station. Unusual controls and weightlessness can be frustrating, but most of the time they are really fun. The game shines especially in local co-op, where clumsy interactions between two astronauts are often amusing.

Personally, I played on Newtonian mode with realistic physics - where nothing can stop you if it's not solid. While the PC controls are a bit fiddly without a controller connected, you can pick them up fast. I always felt like when I failed to do something, it was my fault; I could never blame it on the controls or the game. Heavenly Bodies not only looks beautiful, but the sound design is amazing and the soundtrack too.… Expand
