Heavenly Bodies is a game about cosmonauts; the body; and the absence of gravity. Discover the ever-changing nuances of weightless motion in space and wrangle the hands and arms of space cosmonauts. Push, pull and twist your way through a precarious range of physically-simulated stellar scenarios where, without gravity, nothing is simple. On a good day, the beauty of weightlessness will shine through. You'll use your sharp mind and dexterous limbs to assemble space telescopes, maintain delicate solar arrays and research cosmic botany. On a bad day, the power is out, you're in the firing line (Storyline via IGDB)
