Discover the ever-changing nuances of weightless motion in space and wrangle the hands and arms of space cosmonauts. Push, pull and twist your way through a precarious range of physically-simulated stellar scenarios where, without gravity, nothing is simple.

On a bad day, the power is out, you’re in the firing line of supersonic space debris, and… there’s a breadstick stuck in the emergency backup generator.
