Alterworlds is a low-poly puzzler taking you on a journey across the galaxy

Alterworlds: A Low-Poly Galactic Adventure Unveiled

A captivating 3-minute demo for the upcoming low-poly puzzle game, Alterworlds, has recently surfaced. This interstellar journey focuses on a quest to reunite with a lost love across the vast expanse of the galaxy.

The demo showcases a variety of mechanics, including interplanetary leaps, obstacle blasting, and the manipulation of artifacts. While the plot might seem familiar, Alterworlds distinguishes itself through its unique gameplay and visual style.

The game's low-poly, cel-shaded aesthetic, reminiscent of Moebius' work, creates a visually appealing retro feel. The top-down perspective cleverly masks the complexity of the puzzles, offering a surprising depth of gameplay. Players will navigate diverse planetary environments, from barren moons to vibrant dinosaur-inhabited worlds, utilizing jumping, shooting, and object manipulation skills.

One minor critique might be the slightly awkward tutorial narration. However, this is a minor blemish on what otherwise appears to be a truly standout puzzle game. The developer, Idealplay, has created something intriguing, and its potential on mobile platforms is particularly exciting.

While the demo is brief (a mere 3 minutes), our commitment to showcasing emerging titles makes this early preview worthwhile.
