Heavenly Bodies Review - I Dream of Indie

[@IDreamofIndie]

Will you be checking out Heavenly Bodies? Thank you so much for supporting indie gaming!!

We like to play local co-op indie games with my partner, so I've had to watch quite a few reviews by smaller content creators and usually, unfortunately, you can tell why they have so few viewers. Here, however, I was more than pleasently surprised how clearly you explained what worked, what didn't and why not. I have nothing but good to say about this, so I'd just like to encourage you to keep going, I hope you get bigger!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thanks so much I'm glad you enjoyed the content!

[@shyamo90]

Can you recommend any games you’ve played

[@timemasterhms]

The controls take a bit of getting used to, but the game is really visually appealing enough to make you keep going. I've only played a few hours and it's the sort of thing you walk away and then figure out what to do and want to play again.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Glad you are enjoying it!

[@grimwell6300]

The controls are awesome, the clunky nature is inevitable since you control the limbs.... I love em, as soon as I got used to them I loved them

[@IDreamofIndie]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!!

Seems like a game that could be very funny to watch, and could blow up like surgeon Simulator is some big LPers/Streamers covered it. I would be too frustrated by it personally, but credit to the devs for doing something interesting, and doing it well!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Yeah I could see that but just like you I didn't personally have the patience for it

[@FlowerAngelRave]

It seems that games with 'difficult on purpose' controls tend to be hit or miss. It's a shame that it's more of a miss in this from your experience. It seems like it could potentially be a fun co-op game for people who like these sorts of games and are patient enough for them though. Thanks for the review.

[@IDreamofIndie]

You are very welcome!

The controls aren't arbitrarily hard, they're just....what it would be like in space. It's not anything like QWOP for example. Movement takes some special attention and has a learning curve, but it's a fun physics puzzle and it's super satisfying to pull off elegant solutions and moves. It's a shame the reviewer didn't care to figure it out and get good enough to engage with it, and that this highly skewed perspective is discouraging people from playing a fantastic, rock-solid puzzle game.

I took breaks playing with my brother and we both enjoyed it. We were ready to be done with it by the end though. The controls are frustrating at times but not enough to make either of us want to quit the game entirely.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Fair enough I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[@Hanfree85]

Levels? Lenght?

[@IDreamofIndie]

You have around 7 I believe going off memory and if you are anything like me they take about 45 min to an hour each.

[@Bouzsi]

I’m confused…. The entirety of your complaints was, essentially, the whole point of the game. It’s the same as the games “I Am Bread” or “Surgeon Simulator”; the frustrating controls are the challenge, and what makes them fun/funny. And none of this was never kept a secret, from the time the game was announced. So to complain about the controls being a pain in the ass is like complaining about Sid Meier’s Civilization being frustrating because you have to take turns and wait between them… it’s the whole point!

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thanks so much for checking out the video and supporting us with a comment interaction! Happy holidays!

[@skeptism27]

Might be fun without a clear mind xD

[@IDreamofIndie]

Haha

[@schakalicious6023]

I played with my sister after having a few drinks and it’s just way too hard if you’re not 100% focused. Might be super fun after smoking, but I don’t smoke anymore so I can’t confirm.

[@richard_beerens_designs]

The controls are actually brilliant... Just take some time to get used to them.

[@IDreamofIndie]

Good to hear you enjoyed the game!!

[@brokedownsystem]

thanks. The moment I saw the controls shown in the trailer, I’m like “NO” 😂🤦‍♂️

[@IDreamofIndie]

Haha you are very welcome

[@ehabgamesnow2154]

The control is very frustrating i got bored after half hour

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thanks for watching!

[@Idk91919-r]

Please give it another try. I felt the same when I first played. When you learn the controls, which in my experience was pretty easy, it’s so fun. If you are struggling, start on assisted. Feeling great? Try classic. On classic you aren’t helped by the game (obv) but you can still kick swim and swim with your arms. I’d recommend a first run on classic. After my first run, I tried Newtonian. Tip; make sure you are always near a surface. I quickly platinumed it.

tanx 4 the rev

[@IDreamofIndie]

Thank you!

[@chriscangelosi9438]

People that get aggravated playing games probably don't have much patience 🤔

[@frogmanjump1222]

Run in space.... bye

[@jacobbillups4715]

I know I’m going to sound like an asshole since I can’t think of a better way to phrase this but if you were having enough trouble with the controls to stop the game from being fun even on assist mode I feel like you probably just don’t have a good grasp of physics
