Heavenly Bodies

Heavenly Bodies is a physics game about cosmonauts working in weightlessness. You control a cosmonaut aboard a scientific research station, using their arms to push, pull and clamber through physically simulated scenarios. The scenarios draw on the work of space explorers and researchers throughout history.

Duties aboard the station

With radio contact with mission control as your aid, you bring the station’s engineering projects into operation. You assemble space telescopes, maintain delicate solar arrays and research cosmic botany. In zero gravity, objects move freely and are difficult to keep secure, making each task a delicate maneuver involving elaborate machinery and expensive space vehicles.

Solo and co-op play

You can play missions alone or with a friend in local co-op. Online play is available through Steam Remote Play Together.

Movement and controls

You control each limb of your cosmonaut to perform tasks in weightlessness. The movement system is designed for a dual-analog joystick controller, and the control-mode difficulty can be customized. Keyboard and mouse controls are supported and can be rebound, though they do not provide the intended experience.

Visual style

The game has a stylized 1970s aesthetic influenced by archival space photography and technical illustration.
