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.

9 itemsAbout the Game
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:
