Alterworlds, an upcoming low-poly puzzle game, has released a captivating 3-minute demo showcasing its unique mechanics. This interstellar adventure casts you on a quest to find your lost love, traversing a galaxy of vibrant planets. The gameplay involves leaping between planets, blasting obstacles, and manipulating artifacts—a captivating blend of action and puzzle-solving.
As the weekend approaches, let's delve into Alterworlds, a charming indie puzzler that transports you across space in search of your beloved. While the premise might sound familiar, Alterworlds distinguishes itself through its captivating gameplay and striking visual style. Its low-poly, cel-shaded aesthetic, reminiscent of Moebius's work, creates a refreshingly retro yet visually appealing world.
The top-down perspective cleverly masks the depth of the puzzle gameplay. You'll jump, shoot, and drag objects, navigating diverse planetary environments ranging from barren moons to lush dinosaur-inhabited paradises.
My only minor critique might be the slightly clunky tutorial narration. However, this is a truly standout puzzle game. I'm eager to see Idealplay's final product and how it translates to mobile platforms.
