Been reading about this indie game. Looks like it could be pretty fun. Physics puzzles set in space, with co-op.
Finally they announced its coming out next month, at least on PlayStation. No date yet on the PC release. Hopefully its like $30.
Here's a bunch of info:
Key Features
"Alex here, I’m a designer and the technical lead at 2pt Interactive. As many of you may know, we’re the little indie studio making the challenging, physics-based game Heavenly Bodies.
For those who aren’t as familiar with it, Heavenly Bodies is a game about cosmonauts, the body, and the absence of gravity. You move the limbs of a weightless, physically simulated space engineer (or two, in local co-op) to assemble and maintain structures and systems aboard a rickety space station. Your assigned tasks will often appear straightforward, but without gravity to keep you grounded, even the most mundane requests will require wit and willful coordination to perform."
"The game’s visual style is influenced by mid-century technical illustrations, archival imagery of early space flight exploration and cutaway drawings that allow the viewer to see detailed structures. Our goal has been to create something that appears more like an artist’s interpretation of space rather than striving for realism. The work of Soviet architect and designer Galina Balashova and NASA collaborator illustrator Russ Arasmith has been vital in informing our visual language."
"Using two good arms and a cool head, you’ll use the DualSense wireless controller to control each individual limb of a weightless, physically simulated cosmonaut. These simple, yet tricky controlsenable you to move around and interact with a variety of space-station modules that require delicate assembly and maintenance. Each of these scenarios can be played either solo or with a friend via local co-op."
