Heavenly Bodies

Heavenly Bodies is a physics game by 2 PointInteractive where your mission is to fix a defunct space station either solo, as a pair or as a team of clumsy defunct.

With no gravity and little to no-control over your own body your mission is to get things back in working order. The lack of gravity is the principal element you have to deal with during the entire game play.  Grabbing the operations manual at the start of each level details what needs to be done but things are always a bit more complicated than they seem – even when diagrams on the menu look straightforward.

With You

With you is a game especially designed for couples. It is designed in such a way that it necessitates you to be more collaborative with your mate during the game play. Everything must be done as a couple. The game creator aspires to get couple players to connect and better communicate their ideas via this game.

 

In a recent video in one of the New York Times social media accounts Tracy Bennet  the editor of the famous Wordle game, started answering a few questions from players of the game.

First question

I was crying the other day and started with teary and got it in 1, so solid advice tbh.

Tracy’s response: “Yeah I think the advices she’s referring to is that the first word that you think of  is how you feel and when sometimes you hit it on the first try, so its like a magical word. I love this story I’m gonna keep this one.”-she said after;

Second question

How does somebody become a digital puzzle editor?

Tracy’s response: “First of all just making puzzles. Then submitting them on various publications. Some will get accepted and some will get rejected. I also started in a publication… editing puzzles made by women and not binary constructors at Inkubator. And after a decade of doing that this job (refers to Wordle) became available at The Times. But even then it was kind of lucky that was in line to get a Game. And that is how I did it, I do not know how other people got their jobs(laughs). I think is just working in the field and pursuing your passions”.

Question 3

Aisle is my go-to word!!! eleminates/confirms half the vowels and S which almost always trips me up.

Tracy’s Response: “I think this is great. If you are gonna have that strategy where you use the same word every day that is a great start word and eventually A I S L E will be the word.

In this unique game you are an old man living by the sea in quiet solitude when an unexpected letter arrives to your home.
