Whether it is the likes of athletics game QWOP, or Play-Doh-based fighter Gang Beasts, individually controlling your limbs has always been extremely fun. At least in amongst the awkwardness. Heavenly Bodies on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, from 2pt Interactive, seeks to embrace this in a space setting. Move over Starfield!
The Call of Duty
Boasting a set of Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam, Heavenly Bodies is now available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. You have been entrusted with assembling one of Earth’s greatest feats of engineering up in space. The only problem? You control your limbs and digits independently of each other, using the triggers on the controller to grip items across your space station.
Use blueprints to figure out how to put together different mechanical pieces to achieve your goal. Just, please, do not get yourself lost in space!
Without gravity, nothing is secure, so you’ll have to be constantly on the look out for objects floating away. And so ensues an adventure to clamber through a space station, assembling telescopes, solar arrays and the like. All can be played with a local co-op buddy too!

Heavenly Bodies on Xbox Game Description
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.
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.
