    Excellent at being frustrating. Short, but very engaging and every mission is unique.

    This game is lost in space. Prepare to get frustrated because of weird physics. Also no online Coop? Have to rely on shareplay? That purely sucks. Sometimes you laugh and thats worth 2 stars. Most of the time you just wish you were playing something else.

    I understand what they tried, but it's frustrating and clucky, even after practicing for a couple hours. It becomes increasingly tedious and painful to play.

    It's all about awkward physics and weird mechanics, all of this is frustrating, but with two player is where this game really shines
    De físicas incomodas y mecánicas raras va la cosa, es demasiado frustrante, pero de dos jugadores es donde este juego realmente brilla. No recomiendo jugarlo en soledad, pierde mucho la gracia.

    I'm surprised this one doesn't have more attention on it. It's a great little game that is limited in scope, but does what it does very well. It can be frustrating at times but not unfairly so, and definitely provides some good challenges. As well as the challenge the core gameplay is just fun, floating through space with only your arms to control yourself.

    At one point, I clipped a firework to my girlfriend's spacesuit and lit the fuse, sending her hurtling ass-first into space.

    In summary, it's an extremely fun game.

    The novelty of grappling with gravity has never been this fun or challenging. A gorgeous, if demanding, patience-tester that makes every manoeuvre a thrill. [Issue#10, p.80]

    I greatly enjoyed my time with Heavenly Bodies and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys these types of physics-oriented titles – It’s a wisely-tuned spaceborne experience that does exactly what it wants to do and does it well. Mission accomplished.

    The resulting sense of forward momentum helps keep the frustrations from growing tiresome. [Issue#367, p.114]
