Alterworlds, a captivating low-poly puzzle game, has just released a compelling 3-minute demo showcasing its unique mechanics. The game's narrative centers on a galaxy-spanning quest to reunite with a lost loved one.
This weekend, let's delve into Alterworlds, an indie puzzler that sets you on a cosmic journey to find your missing partner. While the premise might sound familiar, Alterworlds distinguishes itself through its gameplay and striking visuals.
The game boasts a charming low-poly, cel-shaded art style, reminiscent of Moebius' work, creating a retro yet visually appealing aesthetic. The top-down perspective cleverly masks 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 criticism might be the slightly awkward tutorial narration. However, this is a truly standout puzzle game. I'm eager to see Idealplay's final product, particularly its mobile adaptation.
