How co-op works
Up to four players locally or through platform sharing complete the same missions in zero gravity. Each independently controls a cosmonaut’s arms to grip surfaces, move equipment, assemble telescopes, maintain solar arrays, and coordinate delicate pushes and pulls without sending teammates or tools drifting away.
About this game
Heavenly Bodies drops you into the boots of a retro-era cosmonaut floating through a detailed space station, where every task becomes a physics puzzle. Without gravity to anchor you, the simplest repair or docking maneuver turns into a battle of momentum and coordination. The game supports both solo play and local co-op, so you can tackle each scenario alone or team up on the same screen.

You control only the arms and hands of your astronaut, using analogue inputs to grip, push, twist, and haul yourself through increasingly complex objectives. Every grab matters, every swing can send you spinning, and every tether becomes a lifeline. Playing with a partner doubles the chaos and the laughs, as you both flail to coordinate movements in real time.
Local co-op modes include single-screen play and split-screen, with Steam Remote Play Together extending the fun online. Sessions become frantic problem-solving dances, filled with shouted instructions and mid-air collisions, making communication as important as mastering the finicky physics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Heavenly Bodies online with a friend?
The game is designed for local co-op (same screen or split-screen), but you can play online with a friend using Steam Remote Play Together, which streams the game from one player's PC to the other.
How does the co-op work? Do we each control a separate astronaut?
Yes, in co-op mode each player controls their own cosmonaut. You'll both need to coordinate your movements and communicate constantly to solve physics puzzles together, since you're both wrestling with the same zero-gravity environment.
How difficult is the physics in Heavenly Bodies?
The physics-based controls are deliberately challenging-you only control the cosmonaut's hands and arms, so even simple tasks like grabbing a tool or pulling yourself along a rail require careful coordination. Expect a steep learning curve with plenty of chaotic, comedic moments, especially in co-op.
