Instead, you swing the analogue stick at the same time as releasing your grip, to chuck it from your path. Much the same, when you’re off on a little trip to recover asteroid samples, grabbing a rock and throwing it out of your path is so much more satisfying than pressing A to pick, then pressing B to throw, or what have you. It really is hands-on, so opening a door involves one hand grabbing the door, another the wall nearby, and then pushing off one and pulling with the other. Like Ubisoft’s Grow Home, there’s something wonderfully tactile about this approach to controls. Switch the game to Newtonian physics, and then no, there the Rules Of Space apply. It means missing a handhold isn’t the end of the world, as you can – with some effort – get yourself back to safety. On the standard settings, you can rather unrealistically “swim” in space, meaning if you manipulate Astro’s (that’s my name for him now) arms to move like a breaststroke, he’ll somewhat propel himself in that direction. Unlike Getting Over It, importantly Heavenly Bodies is actually quite forgiving. Because you’re always so close to achieving your goals, before accidentally flinging yourself out of an airlock and drifting off into space. Because as infuriated as I so often was while playing, I just kept on playing. Which is, absolutely, often intensely frustrating. It is best described as trying to operate one of those wooden acrobat toys, but in zero-G. Gone will be the infirmity and weakness of our sinful flesh rather, we will be glorified with Christ, and that glory will extend to the bodies we will inhabit.Obviously played on a controller, each arm is assigned to an analogue stick, while his grippy-grippy hands are opened and closed with either trigger. The bodies we inherit will be more like what God originally intended, rather than what we now abide in. And like Moses and Elijah, we will be able to bathe in the glory of our Maker in the fellowship of His dear Son (Matthew 17:2–3 Philippians 3:10). We will likely be able to enjoy food, but will not be driven to it by necessity or fleshly desire (Luke 24:41–43). We will have form and solidity to the touch (Luke 24:39–40). Just as our earthly bodies are perfectly suited to life on earth, our resurrected bodies will be suited for life in eternity. Our glorified bodies will be empowered by the Spirit that owns us, and weakness will be no more. Not only are we subject to the natural laws of gravity and time/space, we are weakened by sin and its temptations. Our earthly bodies are “weak” in many ways. Although the Bible doesn’t portray glorified bodies as being naked, but rather clothed in white garments (Revelation 3:4–5, 18), they will be pure and undefiled by sin. When Adam and Eve sinned, the first thing they felt was shame because of their nakedness (Genesis 3:6–7). Our new bodies will be honorable in that they will not be shamed or shameful because of sin. Our new bodies will no longer be “natural” bodies, subject to decay and death we will live in “victory over sin and death,” won by Christ on our behalf (1 Corinthians 15:57).Īs imperishable bodies, they will no longer suffer from sickness and death, nor will they ever be subject to heat and cold or hunger and thirst. Our glorified bodies will be imperishable, honorable, and powerful. Our human bodies are described in 1 Corinthians 15:42–53 as perishable, dishonorable, and weak, all due to sin. While the Bible doesn’t describe in detail the glorified bodies we will receive in heaven, we know that they will be like that of Jesus’ resurrected body.
