If I Said Heavenly Bodies, Would You Hold It Against Me?

If you haven’t seen the trailer for Heavenly Bodies yet, make sure you check it out further down the page before exiting the site – this has the potential to be a lot of fun, or the catalyst in falling out with your friends.

Your task as a 1970s cosmonaut is to solve a series of physics-based puzzles…in space… with no gravity. Science. Before even knowing any of that, the trailer, from 2pt Interactive, makes it very clear the kind of tomfoolery to expect. It would be disappointing, if anything less.

We’ve always been interested in the romantic portrayal of space travel from past decades. Heavenly Bodies is our attempt to capture the grandeur of this time against the nuance and humour of our awkward bodies in zero-gravity environments. The result is a game that looks serious but provides a funny and challenging experience.

Key features include:

• A collection of puzzling stellar scenarios inspired by the work of real-life space explorers.
• Take on the challenge solo in single-player mode or team up with a friend via local-coop. 
• Control each limb of a weightless cosmonaut to perform difficult and delicate manoeuvres.
• Manipulate state-of-the-art space vehicles and elaborate machinery.
• Stylised 70s visual aesthetic influenced by archival space photography and technical illustration.
• Full DualSense controller support makes interacting with every different material feel unique (PS5 exclusive feature).

And here are some Heavenly Bodies (weird) in space:

So… how long do we have to wait? Only next month – the 7th of December. You’ll be able to pick this up for Steam and the PS4/5, too.
