Alterworlds, a captivating low-poly puzzle game, has released a compelling 3-minute gameplay demo. This sneak peek showcases the core mechanics of a galactic quest to reunite with a lost loved one. The journey involves interplanetary leaps, obstacle blasting, and manipulating artifacts – just the beginning of the adventure.
This weekend, let's delve into Alterworlds, a charming indie puzzler that transports players across the cosmos on a heartfelt mission. While the narrative might seem familiar, the unique gameplay and visual style set it apart. The low-poly, cel-shaded aesthetic, reminiscent of Moebius's work, creates a retro yet visually stunning experience.
The top-down perspective belies the depth of the puzzle mechanics. Players will jump, shoot, and manipulate objects across diverse planetary landscapes, from barren moons to vibrant dinosaur-inhabited worlds.
My only minor critique is the slightly awkward tutorial narration. However, this is a truly standout puzzle game. I'm eagerly anticipating Idealplay's final product, particularly its mobile version.
