The biggest hurdle you’ll experience right at the beginning of the game is how to move around when you can’t simply use a stick to direct your character like most games. Beyond the ability to pick up or interact with objects with another button, that’s the extent of what you have to work with. Tucking your legs can also be done with the bumpers on your controller, which allows you to kick your legs out to propel off walls and other objects. You control either of your astronauts’ arms with their respective right and left joystick, and can grab things with the triggers on your controller. Actually moving around to complete those tasks is where the puzzling part lies.Ĭontrols are simple enough, but complex when applied to the realities of moving through a microgravity environment. Heavenly Bodies avoids such complexities by actually giving you a manual that instructs precisely what needs to be done, so you know the task at hand and how to solve it immediately. Most puzzle games offer you a framework and the ability to solve puzzles within that framework, with a lot of guesswork about how to do so. However, if you stick through it, you’ll find an indie title that does what it does very well - silly space antics, best experienced with a co-op partner. Until that point, you may find yourself with a broken controller or handfuls of hair pulled out from the frustration of it all. It takes a lot of patience and trial-and-error to get to the point where you feel comfortable enough with the controls to jettison yourself around in microgravity with ease. Off the bat, I will assert that Heavenly Bodies is not for everyone.
Heavenly Bodies offers you the hijinks of controlling one or a pair of astronauts with physics-based manipulation in space to solve challenges and complete puzzles.
