Heavenly Bodies is a unique physics-based puzzle game that immerses players in the challenging environments of outer space. Set against the backdrop of zero gravity, players take control of an astronaut tasked with navigating a series of intricate space stations and completing various objectives. The game is renowned for its intentionally clumsy and unpredictable physics, which require players to think creatively about movement and manipulation of objects. The quirky controls add to the charm, making every task—from performing routine maintenance to undertaking complex repairs—both engaging and often hilarious.
Players must utilize their astronaut's limbs independently to grasp, pull, and throw objects in a weightless environment, leading to unexpected outcomes and sometimes humorous mishaps. Each level is filled with environmental puzzles that challenge the player's ability to adapt to the unique physical laws of space. The aesthetics of Heavenly Bodies are reminiscent of classic stop-motion animations, creating a visually striking experience that complements its whimsical tone. With a focus on both solo and cooperative gameplay, the game encourages teamwork and communication as players work together to solve puzzles, adding a social dynamic to the otherwise solitary space exploration.
